twin carb very small block

[turbojolt]

i know, i have a 200sx in my garage (well most of a 200sx ), if i spent on that what i have on the nova it would be around the 300bhp mark, i'am not after big power, just a go cart with a roof.

stick to your guns mate

I ran a 1.2 for 90000miles. it blew up. I got a 1300 block & had it bored to take 1.2 pistons. the pistons needed pocketting. the crank & head were also checked & machined. the car ran a 1.2 carb, 1.3 manifold & system, the 1.2 4 speed box (which has the same top gear as a f13cr)
it could pull cleanly from 15mph to 115 in top.... it had about 85-90hp, I ran the engine for another 50000miles (in 2 novas & a mk1 astra) before selling it to a bloke for his astramax, I had upgraded to a 1600 gte lump by then. I did the engine in 1991, before there was a tuner on every street corner like there is today. Its ok to insult us but remember, we were there doing it before you were born. twin webers do not produce enormous horsepower, but they help if you spend loads of money on the internals

Here's a poster for your garage wall:




Just search for carbs in the Motorcycle category on ebay and get the cheapest set of 4 mikunis you can, don't panic about the size. then buy 4 stroke performance tuning by A. Graham Bell and give it a go.

What's the worst that can happen? Like Stuart says, 1200 engines go for next to nothing.

Or get your chequebook out

I never ment to insult anyone, yeah you guys have done everything and have found the best way to do things, but we just want to have a play ourselves, and just want your guys help with what we want to do. ( i want to try a twin carbed small block) not told not to bother, put a different engine in. if people arent interested in this why not just ignore it?

im personaly very interested in that engine ran (although i'll be lucky to find a 1300 block. )
