So I have an 84 GSL-SE that I am setting up for drifting..I am putting a SR 5 13b N/A in with a full bridge port and was wondering about carbs and drifting..Does anyone run a set up similar to this? Does the fact that your going sideways slosh the fuel around to much to make it ineffective?

Thanks!

 

I have a 87 TII chassis, tho that doesn't make a difference for ur question. but im running with a S4 NA engine with a side draft Weber 48 DCO which most will say isnt ideal for road racing, most recommend a 48 IDA down draft or something like that which i can agree with but for me the side-draft works just fine, and ive gone to 5+ drift events

 

Oh ok sweet! Yeah I was looking at what was the most cost effective and its going the carb route but I just didn't know how well it worked ha ha! Thank you for the input!

 

just curious but whats the purpose of going carb?

 

dude if you find the right size quad motorbike throttle bodies with one injector per throttle body most of them come with TPS on them. then just use your s4/s5 540cc injectors get a bosch 044 fuel pump and a megasqirt ecu use your stock coil packs and CAS etc you will get way more power and drivability out of it. if you compare the costs to get a carb runing right + electric dizzy, low presure fuel pump, regulator, coils and a manifold for the i.d.a or side draft it is just silly. they are all things you will need to get your bridge port going ok/good. the motor bike throttle bodie are cheap you just got to do some research on witch one to get the only hard part with the efi is fabbing up a inlet manifold... this took me a wile to work out with mine and my engine is full on race peripheral ported still havent finished it. i found a throttle body off a snowmobile. for 2 years i was against going efi i new nothing about it now im never going carb with any rotary its just silly when you can have all the nice smoothness, power and driveability of efi for just as cheap with abit of bargin hunting and brains

 

carb+cap and rotor+ msd box= minimal problems at the track as long as you have the proper tune on the carburetor. only once did my car die cuz of carb issues but all it was was fowled plugs after being daily driven on for 7+ months. changed them out in a few minutes and was good to go
