It's a cracking little set-up with bags of torque and about as close to a bolt in solution as you will find

Hi Nick

I assume by your post that you have not used it in a car? If not then where do you base your assumtions on - do you have a similar set-up as I'm curious to know what sort of HP you get out of a 1800 on bike carbs?

Nick,

I am in Sydney where are abouts are you. Can the car be driven to see the engine?

Regards

Rodney

Nick,

I'll get an idea of Perth freight tomorrow.
Cholaso you have mail

Hi Guys

There is a lot of interest in this and i'll try to be as fair as possible but ultimately i am after a quick and easy sale so if someone comes up with the money it'll be their's.

Paul;the initial ad was posted a while ago, since then it has been put in the car. I'd estimate that the set-up is giving about 150hp with no engine mods but i haven't had it dyno'd. I've got 235mm tyres on the back and if you plant your foot in second in the wet it'll break traction easily. I don't think the enging it being held back by the carbs they are 40mm full bore since they are CV design so you could probably work out possible cfm, possible hp.

I was planning on doing a blow through turbo set up on this so have made/accumulated a few bits including alloy plenum, exhaust manifold to suit wrx TD04, oil lines to suit, xr6t intercooler and was in the process of making dump pipe. All of which is up for sale too

Andrew - you've got mail

In order to offer more of a complete solution I also have available:

Facet Posi-flo fuel pump and braided steel lines, speedflow fittings from tank to carbs, Malpassi fuel reg on speedflow fittings, Speco under-bonnet fuel pressure gauge in speedflow fitting - $250

Near new Corona st141 Radiator with thermofan relay and wiring to suit Retroford water rail sensor - $200 (About the only rad aus available with outlet's on the correct side for the zetec)

Balance bar pedal box with remote reservoirs, throttle cable to suit ZX9R carbs - $400

First refusal will be given to the buyer of the engine package but after that it's open season.

Cheers
