They have a reverse manifold design for the IDF that give better access to the idle jets. And if you add a jet doctor to the IDF the jets will not clog up. My baja lives in the dirt. Ive had the jet doctor installed for 16 months now. They have clogged once in that time. Before that it was every three weeks they would plug up. But that fuel injection setup is gonna rock.
Hey man, great video. I ran 48 IDFs for years before going to IDAs. So a direct 48 to 48 comparison. My car is very budgeted so I can’t make big changes often. I got to low 12s for a long time. I made all kinds of mods to the IDFs to try to sneak into the 11s and I just couldn’t do it. Enlarged the bowls, opened up the fuel passages, bigger vents, everything I could think of and every idea other guys had, nothing worked. Car was stuck in the low 12s. I wanted to do it with the IDFs to prove that I could. I finally gave up and tried IDAs. Instant 11.80 off the trailer. I always thought a 48 carb is a 48 carb. I was wrong, IDAs are just better. And with some work they can be great on the street too.
@@HellmuthsHotRods thanks for the sharing your findings. I had a couple of buggy friends I tried to get to buy IDAs but they chose the IDFs instead. One is still running his and the other got out of buggies.
Daily driven vw has great tips on what is needed to keep your idle jets clear.

Very cool! I just subscribed - I'll be very interested in seeing how this turns out.
@@angelosmyth7186 thanks 😎🤠
Cool. Can't wait to see more of this project. Are those the Sherry Berg throttle bodies?
@@stuck1000 Yes they are
👍
Because that port is below the throttle plate, that could be used for vacuum
@@isaacd101 thanks 🤠
Haltech and horse power academy RUclips channels have information on tuning ITBs on throttle position.
How fast is Simon in the 1/4 mile?
@@michaelyoung1901 best ET is 12.12 @108mph. Best mph 117 in the 1/4 but had a bad launch.
Dumb question here. What does IDF and IDA mean. Do the letters stand for?
Thx,
Really enjoy your channel
@@48busman actually that is a good question and honestly I really don't know. Thanks for watching 🤠
IDF stands for ‘Invertire doppio’ - meaning Inverted + double - and possibly FIAT or Ferrari.
