i found a really good deal on a 465 holley and i was woundering if i needed to put a after market intake manifold? like rb or can i stick it down on the stock manifold? im not running a port or anything but i just want a cheap good carb im tired of messing with the nikki i just cant get what i want out of it!!!


thanks in advance!!!!

 

i think it might be possible to retap the nikki mani to fit the holley but im not sure. i think you should just get the rb mani for it.

 

peejay did it, check his website. izzmus something or other. I would reccomend you get the real intake though, it flows much better then the Mazda one, especially in stock form.

 

+1. While ur at it I recomend porting the intake if you plan on porting the motor. It gives just that much more response. Looks hella cool with the carb off too.

 

im not made of money though i wish i could do this but i cant afford it right now!!!

is there any mod. going to need to be done if i slap a new carb and manifold ont there like linkage or anything like that or s it a bolt on?

 

i have a racing beat intake for sale that would help with that carb im asking 175 shipped to your door.

 

i just bolted mine right on. no mods of any kind. had to adjust the pedal play. thats it. kinda rough running though. no hard right hand turns, coughs out. good luck.

 

ummmmm...this is NOT recommended...you will have more trouble than its worth...if you are looking to get more power out of what you have right now...send your carb off to sterling...he will mod it and clean it up and give you a decent power gain for about $300...if thats still too rich for your blood right now...too bad...save up your cash and get it done right...ive gone thru enough "fabricating disasters" that i know its really worth it to have it done right...no matter the cost if you can afford it...

sounds like a plan i am going to save up and get everything done right!!!! im only 17 and working 2 days a week sooo it is hard to get a cash flow plus i go to school sooo yea i will save and get everything done right!!!!

 

ohhh and i have a question about the 465 from rb and the ones from the autopart stores

i kno that racingbeat is modded but is it wirth buying that one for 550 or should i go and get one from the part store fro 279? and will the one from the part stor bolt on the rb intake?

i just want the car to run right with a little pep to it i dont a insane amount of power for my daily driver!! i just want good responce and idel (unlike my crapy nikki which is giveing me bad fits)

 

The ones from racing beat are already moded for your car the one from the store is going to take tunning to get it running the way you want also the reason why rb car is so expensive is because holley doesnt make those carbs anymore so they are special order . A well tune rb is a good starting mod but it would be best if you had the intake for it as well and exaust to gain some decent power 150 hp. with those mods.
