Hey all,

A friend of mine who's saving up badly for a nice seven(sque) car, is currently driving a toyota starlet P8 with a 82hp toyota 2e-e 1.3L 12v (2in 1ex) EFI engine.

He did all suspension work and I very impressed with what that car can do on the bendy bits, but the engine just won't go.

so he got a 2e ignition system (same engine but carbed-ECUless) and a set of stock gsxr750 Keihin carbs

I'm planning on putting a manifold together somewhere this week, he'll put the low presure fuel pump in it, and changing the distributor will take about 5 minutes, BUT

Are there any potholes in the fueling department? the GSXR makes more power than what we are after so I think we'll be quite ok.

so what's normaly involved in making a set-up like this work safe, fueling wise?
the engien can be had 10 for a beer at the breakers but it would be a shame cuase it's running very nice and quite

some general tech info on the keihins would also be very welcome.

Its normally just a main jet and mixture screw setup. Get some spare jets and try drilling them out slightly.

Obviously it all depends on the engine but they should be easy to setup on a rolling road.

If you are using bike carbs you ned to use a bike fuel pump it will stop when it senses back pressure a low pressure pump wont.

The manifold runners are done.

I will have to saw the runners of the old manifold so I have a flange these will then be soldered on the flange and the join to the carbies will be some rubber as per the original install on the ZXR750 kawasaki the carbs cam of

the ignition problem is solved
(2e toyota engine has a vacuum advanced eculess distributor)

Now I just need a low presure fuelpump

Hope it will be a little quicker than before.

the tube is 38mm ID 6061T6 alloy I had lying around

getting the intake tapper right


runner soldered up using Durafix easyweld (brilliant stuff IMHO)


flow and velocity is what you're after!


4 of them soldered up, it took about 2,5 hours to finnish all of them


the basic idea
