Redzone tuned
Yeah me too!
looks like a set of Arabian Purple Tities with white lace tied around them with ornamental shiny Nipple tacks. Damn you it looks nice
lmao i just noticed that his chair is purple too haha
anyway i know they're carbs but i dont know what they would add to the 3g. im sure more air flow but is it supped to be a lot better than what you had? im sure it is or else you wouldnt go through all this trouble. when i first saw it in the other thread it reminded me of the carb on my forklift. it looks like it exactly....except no lines for the propane haha
nice work!

hmm, that's looking really good. when are you looking to have them mounted up and running?
Looking good. I love how neat and tidy the fuel lines look, and all the beautiful hardware in that piece. It's like a piece of art.
It's going to be a while,after i get everything fitted I'm going to send the carbs back to Z therapy for an exchange. since they are experts on these carbs,I'll get back a set in perfect condition actually better then factory. then I just bolt them up and tune them. they send out a video tape with every rebuild and they guarantee you'll have them tuned within 30 minutes.still a lot of work though,I want to get the paint on the car first before I tear off all the old carb stuff,that way i can move it around for painting. when it's been mounted I will still have to figure out the carb supports from underneath.hmm, that's looking really good. when are you looking to have them mounted up and running?
these will be a lot better then factory,the factory keihin is the worst piece of crap honda ever made. no more snake injection. these would be the equivilent of a 38/38 downdraft,except they flow a lot more then a single downdraft,and it's much better balanced to have dual carbs on four cyl inline engine. Honda tried this pricipal on the lude wih the dual keihnins,but ended up with twice the spaghetti and a very poor intake manifold design. plus a carb that even the most simple task would give you a migraine trying to figure it out. I know a lot of dealers that refuse to work on those carbs,well i also know dealers that refuse to work on the carbs on our car as well. you get the picture.lmao i just noticed that his chair is purple too haha

it's the intake manifold and my two sidedraft SU carbs. I just finished the breather assembly that will connect to the valve cover.I'm going to try and get the adaptor plate tig welded up to the piece of original manifold monday. then i have to match the ports together. it will look more like a manifold then. I've been trying to figure out how to hold the two pieces together for welding.the engine side of the manifold is at a 15 degree angle so it's not like I can clamp it it place.im still lost on what that thing is...but it looks awesome though
Wild looking set up
It looks like it is propane and nitrous enriched !!!lol
Very nice work
very original

thanks the extra lines from the fuel bowl are the bowl vents,they just go to the air cleaner. I need to get the proper adaptors,I was using the dash three ones to place the location of the lines. it's going to be a while on the project due to money, I deceided to just send the carbs back to z therapy and exchange them for overhauled ones,it's actually cheaper then overhauling them myself. same carbs,better then new. they not only rebuild them, then fix the throttle shaft leakage problems,the tendency of the choke mechansms to stick, they even have linkages that are replated. so once the entire thing is mounted,I just unbolt the carbs,send them off,then bolt on the new ones. i'm going to get the adaptor plate welded up as soon as my income taxes come in. someone at work is going to weld them up for 50 bucks. he is one of the best welders I've ever seen,so they will be solid. the entire thing has to be preheated with a torch first,then mig welded. it's a lot of work,he's giving me a deal since he's my friend,and he has to do it on his time. thats half of what everybody else wanted to charge.
So the breather lets air in between the suction tubes to the float vent?
Thats how I set up my vents for the carb and for the gas tank. That way air is mixed in from the "T" fitting with the breather which sits inbetween the gastank/carb and the aircleaner. It keeps fuel from getting sucked up, and too much vapor which tends to stall the motor if it comes in as one big glob.
Id be all iffy about working with lead...
nice work on the aircleaners though.

Sweet 3geezus man! That is beautiful!
Not to mention this is one of the most educational threads to come by lately.
thats my engine breather,i have a piece of braided line now from the valve cover to the other intake tube i built,it will just have to be shortened a little to go to that breather,the fuel bowls on these carbs have a vent fitting that goes to the original air cleaners,it would have been set up the way mine is set up now. except ugly rubber hose.So the breather lets air in between the suction tubes to the float vent?

heres the link to the post on the breather https://www.3geez.com/forum/showthread.php?t=58196
some pics of the carb project,ok i put some of the carb pictures in an album,they aren't captioned yet,or organized,but might be interesting anyway.http://www.imagestation.com/album/pi...?id=2095044052
damn that looks cool, i want to run a multiple carb setup one day
props on all the work too

Mount them puppies now!
J/k
awesome job
I had fuel guages but then were cheap and died from the vibration.
edit" oops those are vaccum guages... hrm
I have a feeling those carbs setup the way they are will be quite responsive
Can't wait to see a video or a nice 3.0 + megapixle image of them installed.
what was the throttle bore size of those again?
