Looks good! The carbs give great throttle response, thats the first thing you will notice...oh and there is very little movement in the pedal, so its sensitive...but that comes to you as well. I love mine!

Be interesting to see them go on a 16v, i imagine you are gonna be pushed for room tbh, mine only just fit with the filters.

Keep it up tho!

what else do you have to do to yours to get it running??

i think were the first to do bike carbs on these engines


well atm my engine is a bare block so got quite a bit too do haha,
im still waiting for my inlet from bogg brothers

you have too lower the altenator and make a manual tensioner for it

im just figuring out how the management works atm , looks pretty simple tbh

should be quite easy

oof...you still gotta get your filters on them yet, and there appears to be no room to play with!!

You may have to chop at the bulkhead...
