Tuning tips for the Talbot Samba
Talbot tuning guide, we take a look at the latest and greatest tuning mods for the Samba and report on the best trends and latest power tuning mods. On practically all cars from Talbot, you will see performance gains from some weight reduction. If you can shed a few hundred KG’s off your Samba you will get a much better return on your tuning investment. Car Tuning Guide have been impressed with the addition of fuel pressure boost valves on the Sambas , if you want to improve your throttle response get one fitted! FASTROAD CAMS should be next up on your tuning list and will offer reasonable power gains on the Samba.
NOTE: The more you power that you start with the better your gain will be. POWER GAINS ARE PROPORTIONAL TO YOUR BASE POWER. Rather than try to hit big power figures on a small engine try and do an engine swap instead. Getting better flow through the head of the engine would reward your Samba with more power and may actually give a little more economy. So get the engine head polished and ported. Suspension upgrades are next on every Samba owners priority list. A drop of 35mm will work well on most cars, any lower and you will hit other problems.
