Racing beat has a 6port intake manifold holley would be the best way to go 4 barrel though not 2 barrel. you could go with a 600cfm 675cfm or 750 double pumper. Racing beat also sells the intake manifold and carb set up as package. But I don't like it, it's to expensive they want like 800 plus bucks. You can a remanufactured one through jegs for like $245.00 free shipping and the intake manifold from racing beat or mazda trix for another $245.00 and some change.

as far as the exhaust its not much you gain some horse power within the range of 3-5 as far as trq just a little bit nothing crazy there both just mods to help your car breathe better and run better really.

For intake manifolds, check eBay. They pop up twice a month, maybe, and are the cheap way to go. You can find a Holley to top it anywhere, including the local classifieds or parts rag. A fantastically easy rebuild can be done by throwing $20 at AutoZone.

48 IDA FTW. A good investment since a 48 IDA can be used on all applications. For bridge and P-Port, it cost me appx $300 @Jay-Cee to completely modify it which includes machine work to a 51.5, grose jets, e-bowl mod etc etc.

if you want a dellorto 48, lmk

well i read that dellortos are the best in the game.
that 48mm dhla equals to a 51 ida which i believe is a weber, correct?

i was just going to change the jets and a few other things.

dont et me wrong i like webers also...but...i like the performance from my carb...hey but i do need a pair of either webers or dellortos, my dad wants to throw some on his cortina with l18 or l16 in it...

A Dellorto DHLA48 equates to a Weber IDA48 (not really, but better than a 44). The Weber makes more power as you don't have as much pumping loss or pooling in the runners, and they enjoy more support. The Dellorto is probably better engineered, though, as it's a ripoff of the DRLA Weber side-draft, but with better access to the jets, fuel-enriching choke (vs choking off air) and much better progression circuit.

What it means is that the Dellorto is better at part-throttle and around town, plus you can rejet for the winter or at the drags pretty easily. The Weber will make more power, though, and can be modded with extended float bowl and larger bores.

They make a nifty adapter that mates 2 Dellorto or Weber 48s to a Holley 4 barrel intake. That would allow you to use the RB intake with your Dellortos and then switch to a Holley if you feel like it without having to change intakes. I've got what was sold to me as a brand new Dellorto 48 with a bunch of extra jets and tubes that I can ship to you for $400 if you are interested.

Wondering if wackyracer cares to respond after seeing pictures of what he claimed was BS.

What I'm looking for is an adapter that mates a single sidedraft weber to a Holley style 4 barrel manifold.

Yeah, Im right here. Anything is possible but you may not get what you see. It means you can bolt up anything but there is a difference between "it work" and "work very well". So show me the dyno sheet to proove that it is worth it.

One advantage of switching from Holley to Weber/Dellorto/Mikuni is the resistance to flooding out flat spots in hard corners. Had that problem with a street ported 12a in a Lotus Super 7 clone. Switching from the 4 barrel to a Mikuni eliminated the bog. My butt dyno felt equal if not better power.

The adapter alone sells for $180.00, or they offer the adapter in a "kit" which includes the studs, gaskets, washers, nuts with linkage kit for $260.00.

Currently, however, they are on back order for approximately 4 weeks.

Picture of kit:

Those manifolds have been around for years. But 1 IDA is more than enough for a rotary.

Those manifolds are pretty neet, never seen these before. Seems almost useless considering WACKYRACER already stated 1 ida is more than enough for a rotary. But these look very useful on a bigger displacement engine i suppose.
