So here we go again. Please indulge an Aussie
I have a 2016 S40 with the stock BS40 and a dyna muffler.
I've changed up the main jet and performed the spacer mod and that has improved things as far as WOT and top speed.
I've been thinking about fitting a VM36 or a VM38 after reading all about Lancers kit people have been using with great results.
I live in Australia and well to be honest I'm kinda better off buying locally.
I've made some enquiries to a well known Mikuni dealer and asked him about fitting a VM and what jets/jet kit may be required along with adapters for the existing airbox and manifold to the engine etc including a cabling solution.
The guy does know his stuff.
However his recommendation is to use a flat slide TM40-6 pumper as he says that if the savage engine is similar to the DR650 (which i understand it aint!) then this would be a better bolt on option.
After reading this thread I my doubts on his recommendations.
Not to mention the price difference is significant in the kits on offer.
I am after the best bang for buck option which i agree seems to be the VM.
My confusion lays with what adapters to use for the carb to the engine and to the standard air box along with the cable and throttle to use.
I understand needles and tuning are the most interesting part of any carb mod and i am looking forward to that part
I just need a few pointers and I'm hoping that there might even be some Aussies that may have done something similar.
Thanks for your time and patience in advance
