I used to have twin 45s on a 2tg in the race car and there was no room at all for a booster, the manifold on that was only a couple of inches thick too. I would have thought that bike carbs would have been too small? was your car in classic car mag a few years ago? heaps of dudes run bike carbs on 2 litre engines. i think carbs off an early r1 or a zx9 are around 40 or 42mm so should be sweet az and cheaper than webbers |

lol nah you wana buy a set off four from a motorcycle wreckers or trademe.
you'll pick em up for between 50 and 500 depending on how flash the carbs are and how lucky you are
you know i bet you could even use carbs off a 750 or even a 600 on this engine which would be cheaper

Nah, people make good power with bike carbs on things like XE's over in the UK. 2lt should be fine. In fact, we had a conversation on oldschool.co.nz a while back and some of the guys reckoned that they would even be fine (with suitable jets) for a 2.6 Isuzu 4ZE1.

yeah R1 carbs might be the go eh. would still have to get a manifold made regardless so why not do something a little different. that write ups quite good cheers zep.

Yeah classic car mag many years ago, was doing about 1:20 around puke, it sounded quite cool with the old school dohc on board. tonys and regs were in there too.

found a guy in oz who makes twin sidedraft manifolds for an isuzu twin cam. he made a mould off some factory bellett/117 coupe i assume. he sent me some pics    hes asking 3 hundy oz for them. im thinking thats a little steep tbh |

price seems fair. Would prob cost more to get some made?

Seems fair to me, looks like a good product (assuming A$300 is for the pair?)

yeah for the pair. after currency exchange & postage though would be looking at $400 kiwi roughly. plus carbs - 500 bucks. close to a 1000 bucks whereas i could just buy an ecu for like 5-6 hundred

currency, shipping and carbs do not make his price a little steep though, just to be fair to the dude $300 is a good price for the research and work he's no doubt put into them
ecu may be cheap, but if you want similar results to side draft carbs you still need a custom intake manifold, throttle bodies, plus the additional cost and complexity of ecu wiring and tuning

didnt mean it that way but yeah... will just use the stock manifold with ecu i think eh - too much Barry Whiteing around otherwise.
