Hey, Im just wondering what are some ideas for getting more power out of a 1986 B2000. Any ideas from good intakes to super chargers, and anything else Im just looking for options. Thanks, and go shift some gears

 

Headers, Different carb/intake setup would be the easiest. I think Weber makes a carb for it. Keeping the valves adjusted and cylinder head retorqued does wonders for power.

 

Cool, thanks I'll definetly have to try those. How often should the valves be done approx?

 

30k usually

 

Oh well then I think im definetly due.

 

There are companies that sell a weber carb kit for converting the truck. There is the 32/36 which is the most common, it is a progressive carb and usually does a good job and increasing the fuel milage and performance of the truck. Then there is the 34/34 many people complain about that one. There is also the 38/38 it is mainly a performance carb and the primary and secondary open at the same time. Many people adapt Holley 5200s which where liscensed from weber but require more know how since there are several dozen different variances.

Pacesetter makes a set of headers, importperformanceparts.net has performance valves that interchange from the 8-valve 626. Many rear wheel drive transmissions can be easily modified to fit by swapping out the bell housing and tail housing. I'm running a miata transmission in mine which does nice, gives it more of a car feel instead of shifting every 10 mph. LSD from the 1st and 2nd gen RX-7s can be interchanged if you know how to change and align the ring and pinion. The rest is pretty much engine building and would either require head work or rebuild work.

There is all kinds of information on the following page:

B2000 Tech Section

 

could just skip it and put a f2t in it or a fe-dohc
fuel injection is worth it

 

Sure if he wants to modify the intake manifold and convert to a distributorless ignition....

 

Currently have the pacesetter header & the weber progressive carb but can't say anything about them yet, as I need to clean or replace my fuel tank...Will let ya'll know what I think as soon as I get a few miles on it...

 

I would like to build a good solid driveline for my truck 90 B2200 F2t exhaust manifold,harness,ecu,injectors,afm,electric fan then use stock efi intake, head,block then put turboII trans,rear diff lsd 85 86 rx7 hope that should hold up for summer fun
