Wondering if this would be a worthy set up? Not planning on going to the track any time soon. Just my weekend driver. Alraedy have RB headers. Wanted 48's but too damn expensive!

 

38 would be very compairable if not flow a little les than the stock nikky
stock nikky will flow about 350 cfm and a 45 dcoe with 36mm chokes will flow anout 450. i heard that yaw nikki will floe 425 cfm don't know how accurate my numbers are, but they're close

 

i wouldnt waste money on a 38, just save a little more and get a 45.

 

A single 38 is too small for any rotary application.

 

too small

 

Thanks bro's ! I think 48's is in order then!

 

One LAST question- IDA or DCOE ???? Any advantages of one over the other???

 

IDA will give you a little better top end n/a, but if you plan to go turbo the dcoe is easier to work with.

 

Oh wait! I already have a holley fuel pump (red) and pressure reg. Is a Sterling carb comparable as far as performance goes? I really like the way the Nikki looks when prepped.

 

prepped? you mean boost prepped? or rebuilt. for best performance and drivability under boost, hit up the weber side draft.

 

yea 1 38 i would think is to small, i had the dual 36dcd's on my ported 12a and it kicked ***

 

A 45 feels like a stock carb.

38 might be too small even for a DUAL carb setup.

 

so thats why r.e made a dual 36dcd kit?

 

How much is a 45??? I need my nikki rebuilt...but if its a decent price then ill just buy the 45. Anyone know where ican get one...and how much at the top of your head?

 

Im alll stock by the way!

 

this is a little off topic but does a 79 intake manifold flow better than later years?? id go with sterling btw keep factory look to the unknowing.

 

when it all comes down, the IDA will work best. it's not really that hard to tune as the myth goes. a 48 or 51 IDA is

 

true that! happy b-day!

 

haha.. yeah thanks robert. btw, i'm rocking your rotary shack sticker in my car to support your cause. i just don't remember how i ended up w/ 1 after 7stock, but i think i jacked it fr. you.. LoL

-ray-

 

Happy birthday person i don't know!

 

its all good lola i want some homemade filipina food!!! mmmmmm
