Mk1 1600 8v, R1 bike carbs on megajolt...

Can I drive it again? :d

Looking well fella, Ive got zzr900 carbs and a 1300sr engine here, who does the manifolds?

Price??

Also, cant you just run it on coil and dizzy?

Or am I being retarded?

Whos map are you running the MJ on?

MB-Yeah you can run dizzy and coil, but dizzys are gay

i had r1 carbs on my 1600 8v with a piper cam sounded awesome and went like stink, buy the propper r1 carb rubbers though as they have a lip to hold them in place i very much doubt them red silacone hoses will work for more than a week before thery slip/pop off, samco slipped off mine constantly putting them back on so just got the proper things in the end

I see you have an A T cam cover, has Andy been playing with the engine if he has it will fly i can vouch for that ,he really knows how to build a good engine

Im running a manifold from tom reid, pm him for prices! (tom reid username).

Yes you can run coil and dizzy, in fact i was for about 1000 miles, ive just upgraded to the megajolt to see how much improvement it offers!

Started with the megajolt startup map and tweaked it from there, the initial mapping was done by tom reid and andy tedder - so massive thanks to them!

The cam cover is actually borrowed as the engine itself hasnt been under andy yet, however he did do the initial mapping with tom so the engines kind of 'earned its stripes' now lol.

Hopefully he will be doing further work on it though - plan on a lightened flywheel, vernier and potentially head work in the future.

Yours looks awesome by the way mate - would love to see it in action!

Ive not had a problem with them coming loose recently (1000 miles or so), but you do have to use the narrow jubilee clips on the carb ends cause the bigger ones do slip off! I need to get some fuel resistant hose though - as this stuff wont last forever!
