Ok i am convering to carb

I found a dellortro sidedraft with a rb upper manifold and OEM GSL-SE 6 port lower (no actuators) they would need to be filled i'm guessing.

I can get the carb, filter, rubber mounts, and both manifolds for under $400...

Can i use the gsl-se manifold and get the car to run right?

Also any of you running carbs how did you pipe/ hook up the fuel pump?

thanks need answers ASAP!!!

don't you need a low pressure (thinking like 6psi) fuel pump?

Run an inline pump, you could possibly just use the return tube as your pick-up.

Does the return tube actually get submerged in the tank, though? Can you slip a rubber hose onto the return so it picks up from the bottom?

IIRC it goes as far down as the pump's pickup itself. Let me check a picture.

Yes, it goes all the way down as far as the pump itself. I'd suggest running a low-pressure in-line filter as well.

Also i will be eliominating the ECU and the main engine harness.....what do i need to do to keep the idiot cluster going?

Ok so i can use the fule RETURN to take the gas....Mounting an inline pump and filter....will the gslse lower manifold work ok? And will filling the holes in the actuators work?

Kenteth

I think DEZERTE just went about filling the 6 ports...

well i don't want to "fill" the ports I really just need to know if the gslse lower will bolt up ok.....

Kenteth

6port or 4 port engine?

I'm confused, which side are you worried about not lining up? The LIM/Engine side shouldn't matter (even if the GSL-SE LIM is an s4 and the engine is an s5-- you didn't say).

check the RV website to see if they have different carb UIMs to different years... I still think the LIMs porting should match up though-- maybe not the studs... :/

I know the s4 gasket is different....but the manifold itself is different...i wonder would the ports match...

Kenteth

gasket is different too? hmm... maybe im wrong then...?

The se's ports are smaller than the s4 or s5. I wouldn't use it if my expectation was for power. I routinely swap GSLSE intakes with s4 or s5's and get LARGE power gains, just by doing that. The s4 primary intake runners are probably 20% larger, at the block. All their ports are stupid small on those engines.

IT will work, but it might not flow killer.

wow, i learned something today...
