Seen it before, not for a while mind. That kind of money and your on the EFI path as aposed to old carbs. Just my opinion

[Logg]

hmmmm £850 that's a lot of dosh for something that's going to make your car harder to set up.

[dangerous dave]

how does it go...

"i dont want 1 carb, why the f*ck would i want 2"

stay focused stay alive

[TNT ANDY]

Free postage and packaging though?????

Could be tempted.:cartman:

[Dave Reed]

Not a bad looking set-up tbh.. Bet it cost a few bob to do.. Still £850 :eek::eek:

[5alldaway]

so whats the benefits of fitting 2 carbs?

more fuel

Yeah more fuel. In theroy should solve the carb bowl emptying issue after 220-230hp. But you'll have two carbs to try and setup.

Engine prices aren't that much of a shock, this isn't tuning for the road kit but full on race kit, different level of performance and reliability expected entirely. And as with everything if you can't do it yourself you pay for it. With top level pectel and motec ecu's going for well upwards of £4k and Nickaseal liners needing you to sell a kidney on the black market, it's hardly a bargain, but I understand the price....

Have you seen who is selling that as well? Julian Godfrey engineering. Top spec from a top-line engineer. No wonder it's pricey.

They did some work for my engine, one of the things was new bespoke valve spring seats made thicker and with a different seat to accommodate double springs and modified top retainers, again to accommodate double springs.
