16v on bike carbs, they're on at last... P5

Heres a pic of mine! No where done and still considering flogging it all as the injection/wiring etc is way above my little brains knowledge !

 

There is few pics of my set up i used to have, not carbs tho but throttle bodies of mv agusta

I'v used modified original inlet manifold

Just bought a valver corrado so they may be making a come back!

Love the sound of them

 

looks like some good set-ups. Gonna be some nice induction noise on the roads this spring Here's a question....as you know I'm fitting R1 carbs to a KR engine..... which side of the carbs is the fuel in-let ? I'm asking this because the R1 carbs have a connection on both sides. Next question ......if its the left side whats the right connection for and if its the right.... Whats the left for.

I'd imagine feed and return, do the carbs have a pipe connecting all the carbs to each other so the fuel will flow inot the left hand one and work its way across for instance and then the right hand one will have a restricted return ?

 

Still not sure about all the connections but worked out from looking at pictures posted on here that the supply goes to a connection at the bottom of the carbs. Have had it running so I guess that was right.
here's a link a small vid

still to sort the exhaust but things look good

Looks great - I'm going to be doing something similar in the future hopefully - Just starting to collect parts at the moment. What did you need to get you that far?

Any chance you could E-mail me the Video as well?

 

mine was a total KR16v install so it was just about everything.

1800 KR engine, complete with wiring loom and ECU
5 speed mk2 gti box.... all new seals
complete sachs clutch
new timing belt
100mm drive shafts.... new CV's on one side
5 speed gear linkages ..... new bushes
5 speed gearbox mount
new rear and drivers side engine mount inserts
new oil pump
new oil cooler
new water pump
Ashley 4 into 1 exhaust manifold
custom inlet manifold
R1 carbs
R1 fuel pump
Silicon hose kit
new radiator
2 speed fan

etc etc...... probably plenty more.

The video was taken by a mate of mine so I don't have access to it at the momment. Plus it was taken in HD and he had a lot of problems actually getting photobucket to accept it so Emailing it could be a problem too. Sorry.

Got stacks of help with this from the Caddy forum so if you search for PROJECT KR2008 you can tap into that info.

im doing a caddy 2.0 ABF project at he mo
just got my carbs & manifold back from BB's( ZX9R)
i'll be using a stand alone H&H ignition & r1 pump,
but i've not sussed out what i'm going to do about the water inlet

 

@ Jamez - What are you using for bungs in there? Looks like you found a big bolt to fit - any idea what size it is?

Did you have to do any machining on the outside of the manifold to get the hose to seal properly?

 

I've heard 1p pieces work

 

Yep. I can confirm a gearbox drain plug fits.

VW Part Number WHT001937 1.45+VAT each
(was VW Part Number 111 301 127E)

 

what happens to the igntion and ecu if fitting then to an efi engine? do you just get rid of the injections system fit carbs (obviously with the right fuel reg and filter and throttle/choke cable and manifold) block up the injector holes and it just runs or do you need megasquirt or something? thanks

 

so once you've got rid of the injection stuff and fitted the carbs and stuff the car will just run and respond to the carbs?

 

orite i never new it was that easy.

 

They surely do!

I've got manifold, ZX9R carbs, just need a pump!

 

hi jolfa

how is this going? is there any pics as i am planning to do this to my 16v as well

 

hi jamez

i take it this is a standard 16v manifold was it easy to cut down? what did you use grinder saw etc?

also what have you used to bung the holes? welded threaded in etc?

looks perfect

cheers
