Carby combinations

[Scottz]

Last year I popped the question re 3 of SU's as a cheaper alternative to the tripple OER's, Mikuni's, Dellorto's, Weber's and what-ever.

NZeder replied that there was information out in the worldwideweb somewhere about it.

I searched around and found Marc Sayer's June 1999 paper at www.zhome.com and it basically said you can have a go, but it will be a dog.

 

Well someone did have a go. And it's for sale on ebay USA right now. Check it out.

To solve the problem, Marc Sayer suggested 6 of 1.25" SU's.

Well someone has done 6 x 38mm carbs and it is also for sale right now on ebay Aust. Check it out!

I have 6 x 42mm Keihin carbs cost under $400 plus bit of time.  see pic below

 

The ultimate setup is done by Vintage perfomance developments in the USA, they do a set of 6 x 45 Mikuni HSR Flatslide carbs..... These babies will out flow 50mm Webbers apparently!  They're on Eija's car in the featured rides section. $2095 for the set with linkages, no manifold.

A smarter bloke might have made a sand cast of the middle manifold and made one to suit SU and Weber pattern. Make it to a 4 cyl Manifold spec and then you can turn a dual to a triple.
