manifold choice?
craigbunnell - 12/7/06 at 07:54 PM

Hi guys,
Im building a zetec powered tiger, im going to run it on bike carbs, i was wondering can I attach the bike carbs onto my Zetec short manifold (pic attached) this was used to attach dellorto's orginally or do I need a specifically made longer manifold (like boggbro's) to fit bike carbs?

Many thanks,

I beg to differ

My mate makes up some adaptor plates that allow you to bolt your Throttlebodies/bikecarbs straight on.

Let me know if you're interested and I'll give you his details.

He's currently using a set on a Pinto with Gixer 750 TB's and a MegaSquirt - goes like a train

I was going to use one of them and make up pipes to attach the carbs.

Then i got a bogg bros set off Donut so didnt bother.

Donut - you guessed it!

Well it is a pinto after all

Yes, could make an adapter plate

you'll need to modify it as I doubt the carbs will bolt straight ont.

You can re space the carbs to suit GeoffT did this with his throttle bodies ,on a weber manifold .

you can then make or buy the applicable flange with a short stub on it for them to clamp onto.
