Tripple SU's / Hitachis

[chris240]

after looking at the schmick blue zed currently on carsales , Im wondering has anybody ever done or seen tripple Su's / hitachis...where would you get a manifold from ?

would the setup work reasonably well say for a stockish L24 ? or am I better off spending a bit more to go for tripple 40mm's Dels or Webs..

Its just that my L24 has a pair of pommy Su's less than a year old with less than 1000kms on them...seems a shame not to re-use them.

Tripple Su's seem to be rare on zeds. any thoughts..

A member on this forum has setup triple SU's on a L28 with good results (Dazzed). He has sold them a while ago but I know who he has sold them to. I can get a pic if you want to see how it was setup. You would have to make your own manifold as they don't exist for the L series (Iv'e never heard of them!). this one was made from mild steel tubing and plate.

There has been some discussion on this subject on Classic Z Cars. Seems there is quite a bit of fabrication needed to get this up and running.

 

Certainly triple side draught carby's would be a lot less messing around.

hmmm custom made intake manifold...

I think I better stick to more tried & tested + traditional applications..cheers guys.
