immingham Posted March 18, 2010 Report Posted March 18, 2010 Does anybody know who makes manifolds for a mk1 fester, if so what carbs are required?
Toby Posted March 18, 2010 Report Posted March 18, 2010 I've heard people talk about Bogg Brothers for these sorts of things. Don't know them or know if they do what you're after, but they do the bike carb conversion stuff.
Synergy Posted March 18, 2010 Report Posted March 18, 2010 They'll build a manifold to fit bike carbs onto pretty much anything I reckon Been on the go for yeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrsssssss. http://www.boggbros.co.uk/gallery5.html
Guest cortinamad-gonetoo Posted March 18, 2010 Report Posted March 18, 2010 as above bogg brothers near malton
Synergy Posted March 18, 2010 Report Posted March 18, 2010 I went for R1 carbs for my 2.0 Zetec after quite a bit of research and speaking to Dave (daddy Bogg), apparently they have 40mm chokes which I think would equates to standard 48s in Weber speak I think GSXR 750 carbs have a 38mm choke which might equate to standard Weber 45s I'm still learning about this stuff.
Copey Posted March 18, 2010 Report Posted March 18, 2010 as above, bogg bros and tbh any bike carbs from a bike thats over 750cc will work again, as above popular ones are GSXR750 carbs and R1 carbs, but R1 carbs are £150 i am going bike carbs and i am using GPZ 1000RX carbs you will need the carbs jetted for car use, i phoned Bogg Bros and got quoted £30+VAT to jet them they charge about £150-175 for the manifold, you need a cable kit from them £10 and a choke kit £12, you need a choke as bike carbs wont start without one
Synergy Posted March 18, 2010 Report Posted March 18, 2010 ...........but whichever ones you do buy if they are supposed to be fitted with a TPS and you want to utilise it make sure it's not missing because they can be a fortune especially the Yamaha ones
radar tech Posted March 18, 2010 Report Posted March 18, 2010 on my blacktop i am running gsxr 750 carbs with the main jets drilled out to 1.8mm. start and run fine and sound good too this link may help:http://www.totalvauxhall.co.uk/resources/totalvauxhall/TOV64.tech60697.pdf

radar tech Posted March 22, 2010 Report Posted March 22, 2010 i sm using my old standard escy throttle cable. just snipped off the carb end and broght a ferral to clamp the cable
