Anyone used these guys ?
http://www.altiss.com/
They do bike carbs to car engine manifolds from £180 which is what i'm interested in.

I was going to ask the same question after reading about them in PPC.....
Nice set of 42mm BB carbs waiting to mate with my XE.
Only issue I have is who can jet the carbs ? I live 100's of miles from Bogg Bros...

there's an article in this months PPC mag on bike carbs and Altiss manifolds. From the picss the ali welding looks good, but it would be
wouldn't it. However if your using a Zetec, then the stub manifold from a ST170 Duratec (zetec in disguise) will fit Suzuki bodies straight out
of the box. According to PPC at least.

When i bought my 2nd hand kit it came with 2 litre Zetec and ZX9R carbs so i may aswell use them.
All they require are the carbs and the inlet manifold gasket in order to make the manifold.

i was thinking about this too, using some bike throttle bodies. i recon you could make a manifold yourself quite easily. there is some ally welding
stuff that has been mentioned before that you can use with a blow torch with good results, can't remember what it's called but someone
must remember. then its only a matter of sourcing some thick ally plate and relative sized tubes and make the head plate from an inlet gasket as a
template and match it to the head, then cut the tubes to fit and voila (easy as that he says!).

Didn't really consider a bike RR company, thought they would only have a bike dyno. I'll have to have a look in the big yellow book and
see what is in my neck of the woods..

same here Ned, Jenveys too!!
(only cos a mate had a full setup which happened to include an MBE 956E ecu which would accept my existing XE map as a direct swap onto it!!)
the ally welding stuff is Techno-Weld.
I have some and it is good for some things but a manifold would be very tricky.
It is great for building up/repairing ally castings though, and I used it to build up a boss on an ally rad to drill and tap for a bleed screw. great
for that sort of thing but not so handy for actual welding. Much easier to find someone with an AC Tig!

Hi Guys
Excuse the ignorance but what's PPC magazine? Could somebody scan the article?
If I don't sell my complete Zetec, I'm going to throttle bodies and need to weigh up the options!
