Re: my accord has quad carbs
looks good was your car cabrd or fuel injected...im only asking cuz of the valve cover and you dont have the damn vac box...it clears the engine bay and it makes it look clean...just scrub that puppy down and it will look hot
Re: my accord has quad carbs
the car was carbed. The valve cover is off a prelude(so FI engine). And before these i had a weber on there so i had ditched the vacuum box a long time ago. And you are correct my engine bay does need a good cleaning. Hopefully this winter it'll happen.
Re: my accord has quad carbs
i was wondering the same thing, but he does say it's a LX, and with a custom quad carb setup like that, why would you wanna put a vacuum box back on there? lol, i noticed the valve cover breather was on the other side too.
btw, were/what did the carbs come from??
Re: my accord has quad carbs
you cant run motorcycle carbs on a 3g! ;-)
glad it runs man... just gotta get that bitch tuned, and then we will see what the 282 is really capable of!
Re: my accord has quad carbs
i cant wait to see it set up and running good, carbs can make a serious difference
Re: my accord has quad carbs
the carbs are from a 88 honda shadow i believe... i bought them off ebay based on the size, which i guessed after reading about head flow, carb flow, and all the weber threads
Re: my accord has quad carbs
Yes I want to see a big cam in there!
Re: my accord has quad carbs
thats kinda like having itb's right
Re: my accord has quad carbs
fuk yeah!!! 282 cam in that bitch!!! :thumbup:
Re: my accord has quad carbs
god damn, almost wants to make me stay carbed!
Re: my accord has quad carbs
thats a pretty cool setup. Props for the work... are you not running filters on them right now?
Re: my accord has quad carbs
thats for all the good comments. The 282 was sweet with my weber so i can only imagine it to be great with these witha good tune. The manifold was originally a 86/87 FI accord manifold that i choped to flange off and machined it flat and yes i used the injector ports for a vacuum log.
Re: my accord has quad carbs
Isnt 34mm pretty small for a 2.0L?
Re: my accord has quad carbs
Oh at last someone finally listened to what i was saying a bit the bullit!!! I'm so pleased man glad to see you running!!!
What you need to do next though i believe the Mikunis use weber jets so you might be able to tune them yourself best bet is to maybe take it to a bike shop to have a bash at tuning.
But to be honest the carb size seehow you get on personally on a A20 head there a bit small especially with headwork and header, might want to find some Honda fireblade carbs they are 38mm and would work much better. But anywasy still much better than one Weber 38/38 and the inlet manifold length is great longer the better for really good torque and fuel mixture, next thing might be airbox with a hood scoop straight into the air box over the top get some ram air effect going on.
Re: my accord has quad carbs
looks awesome, great r&d....I hope they are big enough not to lean out at an extended runout, cause it definatley will be flowing like a mugggg
Re: my accord has quad carbs
Oooooooohh I want to go ITBs so bad!
Excellent work, and vid/audio of engine running :)
Re: my accord has quad carbs
well i want to start with CONGRATS!!!!!
but i have a few questions:
1. is that JBweld you used to seal all the wholes?
2. Those runners are they PVC plastic?
3. why did you make them so long?
4. are you gong to use velocity stacks? You should because it will help ya with a flow, but the way it is setup now, i don' think you have enough room for them.
5. are you planning on making better / custom manifold?
Overall I give you two thumps up. Nice Job.
