irokin Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Yup, some people think that Holly's are the next best thing since sliced bread. Re: some Commodore drivers. Lets all play "drown the 4K" :) If youre gonna go to that much work modifying a manifold. Might as well go side draft. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casey Posted August 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 wtf tho there massive it would like down the whole thing and then the spark plug might decide to spark and blow the whole thing too bits, back on topic i have found 2 brand new 1.5 su's for $150 on ebay(bidding hasent started but) iv offerd him $200 but chances are very slim so...

Boost+k Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 su's are way better than standards but no-where near as good as twin webbers. look at the firing order 1-3-4-2 so the 1st pulse comes off the first carb then the 2nd off the second carb and then the 3rd off the second carb aswell and the 4th off the first carb. i know that only one cyclinder is being used at a time but at high revs your bound to loose performance compared to twin webber where each port gets its own supply of air+fuel.

jamesrolla Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 that head didnt sell i think, it had gemini valves in it, it was started at $500 but no one bid on it, you could contact the owner somehow, he is in devenport, he also had a ke10 forsale cheers james Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolla20 Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 hey wilhav1kikassrolla, as much as you are keen about this little project, getting twin carbys on your car may be a little quicker if its k motor manifold you want, :y: as i have a twin carby manifold with linkages just sitting in the shed . ;) i will try get some pics over the weekend, may help you out for your set up fabrication or for the right price i may sell it! cheers adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rolla20 Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 here you go matey, this next photo is of the bottom ,where its meant to bolt up to standard exhaust manifold , but it broke so i cut it off, so extractors would be good for this . if you want it, name a price and i might just sell it!! :y: cheers adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casey Posted August 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 liking i have shot you a pm very intrested but i have no idea what they are worth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coln72 Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 May want to weld up the hole in the bottom as I'm pretty sure that it links the two carbies together. I don't like the idea of fuel mixture spraying onto my nice hot extractors......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casey Posted August 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 nah remember theres a little plate that seperates the inlet from the outlet I'm guessing the air would go up in thewre to heat it up and make it warm up quicker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolla20 Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 (edited) May want to weld up the hole in the bottom as I'm pretty sure that it links the two carbies together. I don't like the idea of fuel mixture spraying onto my nice hot extractors......... nah coln72 , the hole that is cut out is i think for a water way which heats it up , but I'm yet to find the head that has the water outlet for it , but there is the balace tube between the two carbys which is untouched. cheers adam willhav1kikassrolla PM sent Edited August 27, 2006 by rolla20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 yeah stuff buying stuff is you have no money, and makin stuff is so mutch more fun ( sometimes) LOL, another thing you could do is make one from scratch and make it out of mild steal, then tha carbys will sit lower to cos you are not runing it onto of the origanal manifold. so make ya runins out of some sort of pipe, and make to bass plates and put it all together, I'm goin to make my own sidedraught manifold for the 3t in my ke20, cos got no dosh to buy one, and will be easy as. i just love crazy ideas.
