Just got a set of ZX9R carbs as they were fairly cheap. Are they suitable for either engine?

I notice on another forum alot of people are using 600cc carbs. Are these better? I would have thought bigger the cc the better for car engines?

Whats should I be looking for ?

As a response to your question Rik....

I've just upgraded my car with a 2.0l zetec blacktop with zx6r bike carbs and a megajolt ignition system. These carbs and cheap and relatively easy to fit and match the 2l a treat, if you get a later model they come with a tps for 3d mapping, transforms the engine with excellent throttle response and great torque all the way from 1500rpm. Unless you have the specialist gear you will need to get the carbs setup for the engine on a rolling road, Bogg Brothers in North Yorkshire did an excellent job on mine for only £90. Basically all they needed to do was setup the tickover and high rev mixtures and drilled out the main jets to 1.55mm. There's a lot of people using zx9r carbs too, i don't think there's much in it.

160bhp at the wheels....

Very chuffed with mine....>Andy
