I was recently given a jetting recommendation which consisted of using a 182 (DJ182) main from Dynojet. I checked the company's web site (http://www.dynojet.com/jetkits/jetassortment.aspx) and they list the DJ series of jets as using gaps of 5 from size 150 on up (making it virtually impossible to get a 182). On the other hand, I know that Keihin makes a 182....

My question, then, is has anyone ever heard of a DJ182? If yes, any idea where I could get one?

cheers

Here's some info for you.......

Dynojets numbers are simply the hole diameter. A 140DJ main has a 1.40mm (0.055") diameter hole in it at the threaded end. A mikuni 140 Mikuni has a 140 cc's of fuel flow per minute. And, I honestly have no idea how Keihins are measured.

And there's this:


QUOTE
We are often asked for a "cross reference" sheet that compares our main jets to Mikuni or Keihin. The fact is you cannot directly interchange the jets for a given size. Many things affect fuel flow through a jet of the same orifice size. The entry and exit tapers of our main jets differ from those of other companies. Due to this, the fuel flow changes as a function of velocity through the carburetor venture. This means that two jets of equal orifice size will have a different fuel flow curve relative to intake air speed. At a certain speed the two may flow equally, but a change in velocity changes the flow characteristics. The Dynojet main jet hole size is measured in millimeters. For example, a DJ142 has a 1.42mm hole.

This is what Factory Pro says on their website:

Unlike other jet companies (dj, rd, keyster), Factory Pro Replica jets, Keihin and Mikuni, follow the original manufacturer's size scale so the Factory Pro Replica jets are interchangeable with original jets - saving a lot of time and improving accuracy for a good tuner. __________________

Though by looking at their web site it looks like the half sets are no longer available but then a 182 DJ jet flows the same as a 205 Keihin which sounds like a bit much.....

Well... I'm not sure DJ ever sold a 182 jet, and certainly not in anything other than a kit... That chart is based around the incrementing width, making it useful for finding the equivalent sizes... What are you running in there now mikstr?

If you are running all DJ gear, well... Otherwise, stock or FP is the way I prefer...
