Carbs must disappear like the rotary dial phones and cassette players did. There is much better tech for the same purpose, we're 1/10 the way through the 21-st century!

Carbs = K.I.S.S. Simple works for me EVERY time.:p

I'm fitting bike throttle bodies (from a 600 Honda summat), got two sets which easily split into pairs so I can run three pairs straight down the middle. Got to make up an inlet manifold yet which should be fun. I then plan to use an Emerald ECU for fully sequential injection, just got to find one at a sensible price.

Any reason for sequential? Do you have a cam phase sensor?

Missing option
 
This poll is missing an ........ I aint got a friggin clue option !!?? :o :D

Seriously though, my roots are firmly rooted to the carb era, that said, I very open minded about all options.

I guess that is why I have a collection of the following: Original stock ecu, megasquirt, megajolt, stock injection, bike throttle bodys, bike carbs, access to a pair of twin webbers if needed & heck I even have a pair of Stromberg CD150's kicking about ( Yeah I know they were crap ) :o

Who knows what my build will eventually end up with :confused:

I started to look into making my own throttle boddies a year ago when I had access to a lathe and milling m/c. It can be done very cheaply, even bought brass sheet for the butterfly's and brass rod for the spindles. Block of aluminium offcuts are not expensive. Would have to source linkages and springs etc. but using bits of old SU's or such like is a possability.

Anyone in the Rugby area with machining facilities willing to give it a go?

Throttle bodies and megasquirt - 1st option

Bike carbs and megajolt is a good cheaper alternative though, as long as your not worried about fuel economy.
