Quick question. (Racing Beat 600 Holley)
http://racingbeat.com/FRmazda1.htm
(I'm using this for a '85 GSL-SE 13b)
Alright. I'm looking at getting one of these. I tried calling Racing beat and asking them but the service rep kept insisting on arguing with me about their engine mounting kit (wtf...) so my questioned never got answered.
My question is, since the kit eliminates the 5th & 6th port actuators, do you just completely take the sleeves and everything out? The reason I ask this is because I was thinking about sliding these http://atkinsrotary.com/store/catalo...t-p-17847.html in the aux ports.
So would these work or no?

Took em outta mine but you're gonna lose bottom end power/'torque'.

You might lose low end torque (??? Can't verify how considerable since I didn't run it both ways) by not having working sleeves but change your driving habits and you'll be fine. I had a Dellorto on a S4 motor with pineapple sleeves consistantly open.
Peppy little setup, only thing I didn't like was if another driver taunted you while stopped at a light or something of the sort, the sound of keeping the rpms up where it'll take off best is a dead give away your game. Other then that, I'd go back to that setup in heartbeat.
When we put the sleeves in I put a small smear of jb weld to hold them in place. Just thin enough to hold them in position, but not tooo much where I was still able to remove them again down the line.
