whats needed to run on carbs, apart from a fuel tanker following you lol

[gaznovalet]

manifolds, 2 sets of carbs- 3 carb set up needed for each head as feeding 6 bores, probably a hole cut in the bonnet for clearance, low pressure fuel pump set up, ignition set up for spark, talking about it the other day presuming you mean bike carbs? unless get 1 manifold made up to feed all 6 cylinders and sum beast of a carb on top to fuel them sufficiently. wud sound grrrreat. you going to try it?

[gaznovalet]

possibly look into how them big v8s run ie holley carb set up as i imagine that kind of set up wud work if cud get a inlet manifold made.
intresting thread mate. . .

i was looking into running bike carbs on a v6, if you could make a manifold similiar to a lower divider then the carbs would sit inbetween the heads :) you will need an iginition management to get the best out of it. think its gsxr750's that come in pairs so can fit 6 together :)

[blue_peg_16v]

use the vectra v6 inner inlets 2 banks of 3 bike carbs then management of some kind and as mentioned pump and regulator

[gaznovalet]

i wonder if anybody has done this before? got this room to play with

im sure between us we have coverd evrything needed, so who will be 1st to have a go?, main sticking point to me is the manifold or manifolds rest will fall into place.

You would need an inlet that no one makes on the shelf????

And carbs=no

[wiseboy]

they look like webers :)

we had bogg bro's make a straight 6 bmw manifold for bike carbs that sounded sexy lol
could always just make a manifold off the lower divider but you will be struggling with room in a nova lol

[gaznovalet]

that looks well in there god pic lee mate +

Forget fitting the bonnet afterwards, even with the thinnest of standard inlets bonnet clearance is minimal lol

[jimbob-mcgrew]

possible to use the original inlet and modify it to link one beasty carb to it ?
changing the plugs on that thing looks fun
