170 for my r1 carbs onto my xe was not bad i thought:thumb:

[dj_wudgey]

yea thats not so bad!! my mate got his manifould from there for bike carbs on to his polo gt and it was abit pricey cant remeber how much it was but i remeber him bitching about it for a while lol

[muzzy]

I really fancy a set of bike carb's for my SR.

[16v Nova Kev]

[muzzy]

One day, I have far too long a list of bits to buy just now lol

[dj_wudgey]

go get 40's instead matey lol

[muzzy]

Possibly, although I need some arches and sills first lol

[dj_wudgey]

yea they may be needed just a little more lol

Do bike carbs use as much fuel as a set of webbers when you go for a spirited drive?

Yes infact probably more.

I paid £180 6 years ago for the manifold on mine from butt buggars. They take too long so go to Tom Reid ;)

[dj_wudgey]

yea id have thought they use abit off fuel!! and this was another problem my mate had he orderd his manifould as they took the piss with delivery he ended up going through and getting it himself in the end!!

[muzzy]

Heard some bad reports on Bogg Brother's timing, I guess it's down to how much work they have on now that bike carb conversions have become so popular and they are the first name people suggest to get manifolds made.

[16v Nova Kev]

I read that bike carbs can be more fuel efficient.

[dj_wudgey]

my 40's havent been two bad on fuel!!

[muzzy]

Fuel consumption can be pretty reasonable if it's all set up correctly.

[dj_wudgey]

yea and i cant help but nail it about aswell and its still not bad lol

[wwmnw]

I'm really really tempted to get carbs or bike carbs (wish I could afford throttle bodies) but obviously I would need management for bike carbs and it aint cheap :cry:

[Prey]

You don't have to have management at all for bike carbs - can run a dizzy just the same as with 40s. Or get megajolt for mappable ignition but that still isn't expensive compare to throttle bodies.

Wrong because if your running a c/x16xe you'll need management. ;)

Think what Al meant was that not ALL engines need MJ, he's an Arab remember, and only just speaks Englishlol

But the MJ isn't expensive, if you can fit it up yourself, it'll cost a little more than a new dizzy set up from H+H.
