Cheap Temu Knock Off Holley Carb Review

people with the knock-offs are saying they don't care about the future their kids will one day get to experience.
you can't get much cheaper than that.

The jets are metric.

I see customs have inspected the item .

HEY kislux I have been watching you for years and im so proud of where you have made it! I love you so much! Also thanks for making my day <3

EVER HEAR OF MOVING THE ELECTRIC CHOKE OVER FROM THE OLD CARB TO THE NEW ONE 🤔

In all my experiences I've ever seen.When it comes to knock offs of any kind they cannot do a hundred percent 1 for 1all the cross the board due to patent infringement and possible lawsuits

Case in point, especially when I'm dealing with like the situation. I'm dealing with people coming up to me and wanting me to work on their motorcycles and finding out there. A Chinese knock off of the Honda, 250 or a scooter or a Yamaha, 250 or Kawasaki, 250. None of the parts will interchange.They're very close but not at all.
They even even go so far as look similar too

I think.
The american performance industry needs to step up its game stop price Gouging and bring quality back.It's pretty sad when a Chinese Carburetor for 217 Bucks Comes with better Machining and tunability. Then a holly or edelbrock That cost 500$

what a piece of junk

could not pay me to put that on my engine

Was waiting for u to put it on s.thing and run it to see how it works. Good review tho

The jet sizes are in mm.

Whats entertaining is all the buy American comments lol what none of you seem to realize is that 90% of your American parts all come from over seas and mexico, most parts in Dodge Ford chevy all come from overseas and mexico, Harley davidson 😂😂😂 Honda is more American, Holley Edelbrock most headers etc none of it is American anymore, all your proudly made in USA guns and ammo ? Turkey and Istanbul i own a trucking conpany and pick all this stuff up at the ports already boxed and packaged made in USA those fruitloop beekman brothers all their products come from thailand yet still say made in USA…. Its an insult to all our intelligence !!!!!

The stuff they spray in there and on the out side is like a creasaul because they are shipping over on a boat the salt air dosent effect the aluminum,,same as on cars they ship ,you see it on the brakes and rotors any thing they think can get exposed to the salt air

American made ❤,,,only

Does it work, though?

To anyone looking into buying a knock off carb to cheaply got a project going.. please don't.
U can buy quality name brand carbs dirt cheaply on the used market. Pretty well every town has atleast one old man garage with several carbs laying around.
Holley stands by their used products and their customer service is happy to help with any holley carb regardless of age or how much u spent on it.

these appear to be similar to keihin large round motorcycle carb jets

The way American companies have treated the citizens, I E. Harley with their wokeness, the auto industry moving to mexico etc. I have no loyalty anymore

Id care more about it hurting holley, if holley didnt price their carbs so frikin expensive. And then buy up competitors like quick fuel who can make a similar or better carb for far cheaper.

So its possible to make the carbs cheaper. And they have the money to buy out their competition to keep prices high. So i say fk em.

I find that anytime there is a knock off of a product is because companies have decided to have their products made in China instead of USA. This is why manufacturing needs to be brought back to America.

when i entered your numbers into a conversion app they definitely came close to a decimal value in cm

those jets looks like what i got for my moped "mikuni" carburator..... and those numbers corresponds to tuned twostroke moped numbers on jets

They send the same extra hardware in every carb kit. That way they don't need to worry about whether it needs it or not. Also, Holley uses zinc in metering blocks, the other is pure aluminum.

One word JUNK. I bought a knockoff street avenger for a dump truck that had been sitting for ten years just to see if i could get it running. It is what I expected it got the truck running, but I will never buy one for something I care about.

What does Chimeu call it, a Hardley?

I was interested to figure this out and the best i can come up with is its in micrometers

Im going to try the Edelbrock 4150

1.65mm 1.95mm 2.00mm 2.05mm. It's that simple. Standard to metric conversion

So would the Holley metering block fit and work on the temu carb

I honestly wanted to see it run an engine

Never seen it take somebody so long to figure out why they didn't like something but no real reason not to like it except for the fact that it's not what you used to seeing on a car repeatedly it's not what you're used to doesn't mean doesn't work or that it's not as good I don't care either way it would have just been nice to actually hear oh you can't do this because of this instead of... I don't know maybe I don't know nah probably not lmao..... At least we know now that we can buy one and it'll work.... With possibly easier tuning on the back.... THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE A LOT OF CHALLENGES AND THE FACT OF THE PATENT RAN OUT IS EXACTLY WHAT THAT MEANS GO GET IT CHEAPER SOMEWHERE ELSE BECAUSE IT'S ALLOWED NOW OTHERWISE WHAT WOULD PATTONS BE USEFUL FOR....., EXCUSE ME WHILE I GO SHOP AT 7-ELEVEN TO HURT WALMART ARE YOU SERIOUS DUDE SOUNDS A LITTLE BIT MORE LIKE.... WELL I WON'T SAY IT, BUT IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN THEN IT'S OBVIOUS ENOUGH. As far as deserving respect is the most hilarious remark I think., everyday everybody in America 95%, choose to go the cheaper route then the more expensive route for example landscaping roofing thanks for a laugh though... Einstein said if you cannot explain it simply you not understand it well enough....

So what did we learn? China not only can't make a modern car but they can't even steal a 60 year old technology from the US properly.

It keeps the gaskets pliable and it prevents them from shrinking in case that it's in storage for a long time

Interesting

Cholley carb flow tested with primo gutter oil

jet sizes are 100% metric - ie 0.064in = 0.165mm
That said, would be interesting to see a dyno test with size/type equivalent Holley carb (granted that the hardware was all pre-checked to make sure none of it goes through a motor.
My gut says this won't produce the same numbers or the repeatability that can be had from a quality carb.

If I wanted a Holley carb I wouldn't feel bad about buying a knock off one, Holley had china make there carburators for a time. To do business in China like that they demand the rights to the product. Really it's Holley's doing.

Friend just bought one of these to replace a Summit brand 600cfm on his car. I installed it on his SBC and checked float levels and set the idle/air mix and it seemed to run fine. Shut it off and tried to restart it, but it wouldn't fire up. Poured some gas in it and it fired, but popped and died when I tried to give it gas. Looked at the primary bowl and no gas in it. Secondary was right in the lidle like it should be. Pulled the primary bowl off to check float and all seemed fine. Put it back on, poured more gas down the carb, and it started again. Primary bowl filled to mid window and then watched as the gas disappeared from the window again! It seems the needle or seat occasionally sticks and it runs out of gas.
After a couple hours of screwing with it I removed it and packed it back up so he could send it back. It's just junk. Bought a rebuild kit for the Summit carb, and rebuilt that instead. No more problems.

I think the numbers on the jets is like we used on my car, and is flow numbers, not pin numbers.

What gets me with these is that Asia is been well known for decades at being fairly good at just making a 1:1 copy of an item......(usually its captured military equipment). Why they went to all this trouble without just making it an exact copy is beyond me.

What is that kit you use to test Jet sizes?

Jets are 'flow rated' Holley did that for a while and everyone hated it.
I have done a China 350 2 bbl. Needle and seat was stuck which is common from being on the shelf. Used all Holley parts in it. Crappy finish but I had no complaint so I guess it was ok. Holley jets fitted but I used the ones it came with.
Most Holleys are alloy these days. I have just bought an 850 Edelbrock and it weighs around the same as a diecast 3310. It seems some of it is alloy and some diecast.
Read the Holley website, there is a dozen versions of the 600 and they all use different size mains. Ditto with a 750 d/p. I normally use those numbers to make the carb original again. So many idiots use small jets to gain economy,, and melt the engine or use bigger jets to go faster and usually end up way too rich. Though a dyno is the only true way of jetting. 350 Chev race engine with Dart 2 heads and a Victor Jnr,, 830 annular. as the book said 80s all round and it was good on the dyno. Went to Victor race heads with a 2925 intake and had tp go down to 76 all way around. The intake system was all far more efficient and required less fuel to do the same job. And it had over 40hp more and was far livelier from 5000-7500. But had nothing under 3500!
You will find the Holley gasket does fit. 1850 and 1860 use a different gasket.Those bowl and metering gaskets are plain junk. As Holley ones used to be in the past!
Holley have got way too expensive and have been for quite a while. So really do not deserve any special treatment. 650 spread bores are made in Japan!
Would I buy one? Maybe for a stock engine, that is after I have been right through it. Though that costs money and time. I feel sure it would do fine on a stock gunker. Performance engine? Never. But a 4160 is never a performance carb ever.

Won't be saving much $$$ buying a Cholley after one of those butterfly screws start pinballin' 'round in a cylinder:/

the jets are in 100th of a mm, .200 of a mm = 78.5 thou, I presume your " pins " are in thousands of an inch.

just convert metric to imperial so add a decimal after the first digit to chineese numbers it makes sense 2 mm is almost exactly .078 of an inch... and while not EXACT conversion it's close on the others also. 165 is 1.65mm etc etc.

Never tried the knock off Holley just the Carter BBD.

OMG numbers are not only for imperial system its not too hard....
