This may sound stupid but is it possible to run twin carbs on my 5 turbo?

I ran a twin carb setup on one of my gt turbos,and it over fueled,everyone I tried couldn't get it to fuel right.
I reckon the majority on here will tell you it's pointless and I would agree

Theoretically it's far better due to less restriction and more even fueling over 4 cylinders... In the real world the Solex 32 is a tricky customer and few if any have got it to work at all let alone reliably. If you want to look down that road boosted bike carbs are maybe a better bet, lots of people in the bike community have gone down that route with lots of success...

been there ,done that!moved on to twin choke about 4 years now!

[Matt@CodeRedMotorsports]

Seen your stuff mate, very well made.:smokin:

[michael tierney]

thanks matt!!the twin set up produced more torque sooner but ideally you'd need runners 1 and4 twinned ect....but thats a manifold nightmare!!:(

:) would be interesting to see it done tho Matt.... Don't know anyone with bike carb skills who could do that.... Do you ;)

[michael tierney]

bike carbs would be better done on a rear engined 5...much more room.....i fitted a set ok kehins(zx6) to a gtl a few years back....the runners on the inner ones were terrible! the car did go though!:)

[Matt@CodeRedMotorsports]

Bike bodies, rather than carbs, The suzuki Hayabusa has been boosted and fitted in westerfields and other crazy cars for a couple of years now, its just a question of ingenuity rather than cheque book engineering before we see this sort of thing filter down to our level.

Would be good fun though!!:burnrubber:

[Penfold aka The Dealer]

Would be good to see on a 16v engine!!

[michael tierney]

i think Jenvey do a set!!:).......so their not cheap

Lancia twin carbs

I looked into these but could never find a carb for sale, also there were some turbo capable carbs fitted to the early lotus esprit, think it was a dellorto dhla

Like these

Lancia twin carbs
what he said, the only turbo twin carb setup i have ever seen work really well, but for the same money you could probably go injection TB's and have much more control

[Phoenix Autosport]

also both the lotus and lancia setups will be 40-45 mm bore, way too big for a 1400 :crap:
