1978 Ke 55 Wheels And Carbs

Featured Replies

hi guys i just put a deposit on a prety good ke55 interior is imac motor imac boddy not so imac a little rust riddled (nothing i can't fix) it has a 3k motor in it 4 speed i was interested in getting double side draft carbs and manifold (if any one has a set they want to sell or no where to buy em brand new let me no) and also some bigger wheels i would like some stockies what do would you guys recomend somthing that looks like the interceptors 16 inch maybie I'm not to sure i wanna lower it with bigger rims but I'm not to sure ive seen some ke 20 with 16" peugot rims also what stud pattern would suit

any information on this would be great not looking to do to much modification but looking to get a good note

thanks in advance guys

I don't know how people are feeling tonight but be prepared to get abused, first off use the search function and you'll find heaps of info on that, if you want brand new twin sidedraft webers i mean i'm not veteran at this but you'll be paying over a grand i reckon. I got told recently if your not going to fully mod the car put a 32/36 downdraft weber on it everyone does it and they go quiet good. I've pretty much got the same car, except mines a '78 ke35, done the rims, exhaust, rebuilt the motor, tomorrow i'm putting bigger brakes on. If you want to go down the weber path i have a 45 sidedraught here with a manifold that i might be selling soon, but you'll be looking at about 370....

 

Here's what mine looks like at the moment....

Like jono said, you'll be paying way over a grand for brand new sidedafts. A brand new manifold will also cost you around $300. You can get a second hand set with a manifold for around $1k, or a single sidey with manifold for $250-$500 'ish.

Like jono also said, you won't see the true potential of the twin unless you do a few other mods like extractors and exhaust, cam, increase CR etc etc. For a stock or mildy worked motor a down draft weber would be fine.

 

If you want interceptor looking wheels I believe R31 skyline wheels may fit the bill.

 

Ke20's are 4x110 and ke55's are 4x114 so forget the peugeot wheels.

 

Now. Please go and fimiliarise yourself with the FAQ and search tabs up the top. We have a wealth of info already here, you just need to go and find some yourself.

go with 32/36 downdraft weber ive had one on mine for years and never had any problems.biggest problem is the stupid adaptors with the bent studs,got the shits with that and made my own high rise adaptor. gives you better intake air speed and cos of the height cause fuel to cool air down heaps. only problem is on cold days can cause carby and adaptor to freeze. lots of fun.

Careful you don't get custom rims drilled to 114 then! :)
