First I need to decide which engine I've gotta install. lol I have a SR 1.3 and 1.6 GTE engine. I like the idea to start with a 1.3 bike carbed, but I have not at all clear the issue of bike carbs. I'm making some adapters for carb. Tomorrow I will put photos.

It is made in japan so i hope this up to my expectations. On second thought, for the money it costs if it works the miracle.lollol

I would like to mount a Keihin FCR carburetors. What model of motorbike install them?

[NOV4_SPORT]

Hi Iain my friend, how are you?thx for the comment ill try my best:thumb:

Hey david, yes doing ok thanks, iam sure you will do just fine mate.

iain:thumb:

[zeifer33]

Today I have finished the first part of adaptation to the carburetors. Now, I need to find a proper steel tube to finish.

[playboy_jaycee]

Looks like a lot a fun..keep the progress posted :-)

[ECO16V]

Should be a good project.

[zeifer33]

Well, I have the bike carbs. I's just apart for cleaning as part of a mess does not seem to be anything broken. Finally I will be installing the 1.6SE, what is the diameter of jets needed for this motor?

This is the tube 40/45 stainless steel that I've gotta use adapters to make the bike carbs.

http://img811.imageshack.us/img811/1388/foto0210.th.jpg (http://img811.imageshack.us/i/foto0210.jpg/)

So what's the best position for bike carbs? Vertical, Horizontal or angle of inclination?

[zeifer33]

After a week without being able to do anything, yesterday porfin remove the roll bars and backet. The following will make the dashboard and electrical installation.

http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/8645/foto0262c.th.jpg (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/148/foto0262c.jpg/)

I needed to know if I just need to extend the jets that put 1.25 or all, you know?

[zeifer33]

Well, now I have ready some adapters for my bike carbs. There are still a few adjustments but I can see how they look.

http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/6059/foto0265t.th.jpg (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/98/foto0265t.jpg/)

http://img846.imageshack.us/img846/7128/foto0267.th.jpg (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/846/foto0267.jpg/)

Now i need a fuel pressure regulator to try start the enginelol What could be better, R1 pump or GTE + a fuel regulator?

[nova_niek]

Zeifer, nice work on the R1 carbs. :)

Gut feeling tells me you don't want to use an R1 fuel pump. Fuel path on a motorbike is a lot shorter and less obstructive (meaning less resistance) than in a car.

Not sure if the R1 pump can overcome said resistance, so you want to use a GTE pump instead. Do make sure the fuel pressure regulator is only a few tenths of a bar over atmospheric pressure, unless you want your carbs to overflow.

Can't help you with stack lengths, needle and jet setting and all that. You really have to get an experienced rolling road place to help you.

Let us know how you get on mate. :)

Hasta la vista,
Niek

[zeifer33]

Mmmmmm I see, Unfortunately there is no rolling road near where I live. So, my work is based on tests done in this forum and a little improvisation. Well then it's decided, I will use the fuel pump of my GTE and seek a pressure gauge to modify the original pressure regulator.

I'm glad you like it.:thumb:

[shorty249]

hi nice project youve got there, are the float chambers on the bottom of the carbs level when fitted to the car?
that how i believe they should be set up!!
also the longer the tubes (within reason)the more torque you will gain i think.

[zeifer33]

Well the car is now ready to begin repairing, reinforcing, sanded and painted.

http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/1359/foto0274p.jpg (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/696/foto0274p.jpg/)

Work on the bodywork was done following the "Nova Build Competition Guide" now I have the dimensions of the chassis reinforcement parts and this week I start to make them.

http://img839.imageshack.us/img839/3196/foto0275a.jpg (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/839/foto0275a.jpg/)

Also I have to finish the bike adapters carbs.

[zeifer33]

Today, almost finished the adapters for bike carbs, and I have the front strengthening plates frame done.

And my custom exhaust line.

looks good mate :) is your manifold a webber twin carb manifold with your own adaptors? it's a good idea that is
won't be long untill its running now :thumb:

[zeifer33]

Yes its a webber manifold with a adaptors made by me. Only need to solve some things, lower fuel pressure, and modify the 1.4SR ignition distributor for 1.6 GTE camshaft. I have really wanted to see it work.:d

[zeifer33]

As I continue with the updates, the body is ready to begin welding the joints, and the first 2 reinforcing plates are welded too.

What do you think? looks good:roll:

[ryansnova]

looks good mate the shell looks minted to start with lol

[zeifer33]

The reinforcements are almost finished and I have decided to remove the spare wheel. In this way will place the central exhaust line.

After a while we come back with more things, we have gone through some financial problems but in the end the second car is now ready.

So far that's all. After some tests on gravel there are several things to improve, the next weeks we will test on tamarc.

[NOV4_SPORT]
