I'm a bit too far to take you for a run, but I wouldn't previously have believed bike carbs would work as well as they do on a car engine.

I'm not sure they are better then webbers but miles cheaper and easier to set up.

Remember that Throttle bodies will need a fuel injection control system, ie megasquirt, or Omega, etc etc.
It will affect your overall costs.

I am not sure that going from webbers to bike carbs will give much of a gain. ie you already have 4 x individual butterflies, and probably superior fuel air mixing with the webbers.

Going Injection and TB's will make some difference.

Just my 2d's worth

what webers are you running on your zetec at the moment? (im assuming your running a zetec as thats what you want a ride in)

I would go down to Chester Sports Cars.
I've got a zetec on zx6r bike carbs which were set-up by chester with a megajolt map.

May be going to oulton park in the next couple of weeks Im running zx9's on a 1.8, previously ran Webbers both have a positive side the Bike Carbs are more economical and perform well and seem to stay set up. I did find the webbers felt like they had more bottom end grunt and the induction sound was fantastic

Hi guys , think i best clear up something

i never planed to go bike carbs for more power , i just heard the drive is better , smoother and more responsive than on webbers ... i just didnt want to sacrifice a great deal of power to gain these....



i currently have 40 webbers of my 1.8 these would need jetting anyhow if i didnt swap for bike carbs and fitted them to my new 2.0 blacktop ...

Are 40 webbers even big enough to get the best out of a 2ltr blacktop ?

Bike throttle boddies - Are they worth the extra money ?


Sorry for all the questions lads .......


Cheers

i think im going to go replace my webbers with bike throttle bodies rather than bike carbs

is there anyone not to far that would take me out in a zetec with some sort of bike tbs fitted ?


Cheers
