8v on bike carbs

[sc]

I was looking at this a few years ago and pretty much gave up because of the manifold
anyone got any further with it at all
got pics of the manifold etc?

On a crossflow - its easy, on a counterflow, its a mess.

like this

it was in my XR3 about 5 years ago



awsome conversion if you dont mind the fuel costs !!!

[sc]

how easy are crossflow heads to get hold of?
would i be better going to 16v?

[DOA]

Youd be better with a 16v engine and ditching the carbs idea, they suck compared to throttle bodies.



I think that should link you to the piccies of the manifold ive made for a Mk1 ABF conversion.

[sc]

yeah but its not cheap anymore then is it.
have looked  throttle bodies but it costs to much tbh

You can get a crossflow head from a mk4 golf 1.6 i think? cant quite remember.

[Diamond Hell]

Lots of Golf 4s, Boras, Passats and Seats have crossflow heads.  They're generally badged 1.6 or 2.0 - the head is basically the same.

I have one in my Golf.

To be honest, if I was doing it again I wouldn't waste my time, I'd go straight to ABF.

Bike carbs = tuning FAIL.
