Hello All.....

So...im thinking of getting a set of triple carbs or perhaps bike carbs. Found that Fritzs Bits will make a nice induction manifold to accept anything i like really...i just want that M20 to sing sweetly....no no..scratch that...snarl..and roar past 6000rmp deafning the locals with its induction noise...so im thinking that carbs or throttle bodies ought to do it? has anyone tried the bike carb route with a custom manifold...it sounds cheap and hassle free.....

6 individual bike carbs-honda £25-30 each

Custom manifold-£80 Materials

labour-£ 200-ISHHHH

Just imagne the sound a 6 would make fully open on full throttle bodies and 6 branch with straight exhaust...... :D

I started to build one awhile back and never really finished i used moded eta throttle bodys but i could never get all the vac lines to work..... i sold off all the parts and made a little $$. Good luck let us know how it turns out you just might make me go back to this idea.

Sounds like a plan !

Bogg brothers intake, gsxr 600 Tbs, few tweaks to get it all fitted up ( see PPC mag last/this month)

only downside is the motronic will lose its load sensing with tbs and you'll need an aftermarket unit to avoid havig to run a plenumn with AFM combo, even with cards this will be an issue as the advance will be miles out at anymore than 1/2 throttle.

food for thought ?
