my little project , 14in bbs 60,40 drop debadged grill , 1.4 afh , gsxr 600 carbs , 1.3 flywheel, afh clutch mk 4 golf 5 speed box, mk2 gti breaks, thicker anti role bar, things to come full system , custom inlet manifold, g40 box, mega jolt , new shocks and power flow bushes, full carb ignition set up .

first little test

Right little up date after nearly melting a piston swaping engines and nealy melting another one finaly got a proper manifold from bog bros and had them setup there aswell

basicaly on the first engine had my home made manifold and made the main jets 150 ran well but was to lean and had a air leak on number 4 so after a mounth of thrashing about the smallend went on number 4 as well as over heating the piston and scouring the bore up so got another engine thinking i had rebuilt it badly not thinking the carbs were the problem anyway the new engine had done only 70k and was in raly good nick as the old botom end done about 100k any way 1 week later and same problem fuck!!!!!!

so finaly realised that mabe i should have got the carbs setup properly and saved myself alot of time and some money so no new engine took the head off and the sump removed the offending piston and rod honed the bore and put a rod and piston in out the other block that were ok and put it back together and crossed my fingers ha , anyway soon as she was running drilled the jets to 160 and went up to bog bros they couldnt set them up properly with the manifold i had so they just mad the jets 170 and i orderd a manifold £"210 ouch ! but in the end was well worth the money wish i had done it to start with!!!

3 weeks later and the engine is still sweet went back up today and fitted the manifold and the had the carbs setup and the result is amazing runns sweet as no flat spots will fly throgh mot as the co was 500 and hc 1.1 without leaning them off! and 120 bhp at the wheels at 6500

if you want to put bike carbs on your car trust me for £210 for the manifold and £80 for setup get you are self to bogg bros and save you are self alot of time and money!!!

and thats a stock motor no big bore or exhaust manifold stock afh maifold and 1.3 middle and back box stock 1.3 single point ignition (works perfect)

Wicked, I have a AFH lump for my mk3, Needs doing tho, Get some more pictures off the bay and also you doing it all! ASH

sounds abit buggered? whats the whiney noise too? mine sounds nothing like that lol

You got a 1.4 afh? Get some pictures off the engine bay as I'm converting my 1.3 MK3.

bulmin hell gez was the first run! using stock middle back box with the afh down pipe cut at the cat and was blowin pritty bad and the manifold is hitting the role bar + running bodged standerd manifold with hoses and an air box so its going to sound diffrent if you are using a steel manifold and no air box, the wining is the alt not quite lined up yet got to do some feterling but it works, did the hole thing in a week with no help so think it is ok for a lash up!!

fair play dude! wasnt having a go, just curious lol, I'm using a standard cut down manifold and exhaust thats blowing + touching the manifold too atm haha

fair play for getting over 100 out of it btw! r the carbs jetted?

its pritty easy as far as engine swaps go depends how far u want to go, what will say is get a proper inlet manifold , the one i made works but took me ages to do and unless you get some thick hoses will loose power mine deform a bit to much! and its a right basterd to do, u have to cut the inlet pipes turn them upside down port the holes as the dont match when upsied down, smoothe the frounts , and then get the pipes on that i had to glue on as well as use clips, trust me buy a manifold from bog bros as thats what iv got to do when got the money!

yes fella but not set up yet want to get proper inlet manifold first, running 150 mains but not right yet its shifts now so think when its sorted going to fly!

no srad ones with the red trumpits u want to keep the trumpits, drilled the main jets to 150 everything else stock, also for the air filter cut down an stock gsxr one as there only 20 od quid of ebay and glued a pipercross filter over works well , I did cut the bulck head down a bit though to get it to fit! runs ok though needs setting up but hay it runs ha!

look on the net there in sheffiled i think but you are not going to make anything as good so £200 is worth spending! I'm going to just ran out of funds!!!

ah youve done yours the other way, i dont think anyones done it my way, i cut down the whole manifold rather than use the bolt on parts upside down as i couldnt be assed with them not lining up, so i cut it down completely and filed them as round as i could ect! I'm gonna make a proper manifold soon but its not too bad

awesome stuff yeah it looks fookin rapid! haha. can you get a pic of you with your foot flat on the floor from like say 10-20 mph? mines off the road for the winter so I'm curious to see the speed! lol. i ordered 150 jets for my cbr carbs as thats what everyone else uses normally :)

Where have you taken the vacuums for the megajolt from? Did you map it yourself, and how did you get the rev counter to work with it? I kept failing

not using mega jolt yet fella thats what i want when got the money! using the standerd 1.3 single point ignition! wasnt sure if it would work but seems ok just need a throttle pos sensor to adapt! thats y thee rev counter works mate!

in second or first , in first gear is a pointless just spins up so the speedo will just shoot up aswell need a better ratio gear box! first is a bit to short and second a bit long at 7 k 1st 32 mph 2 62mph 3 90mph 4 115mph 5 ?????

its out of a mk4 golf and there shit! anyone know what the g40 boxs ratios are like thought they would sute better.

yer thanks gez , need a full system and inlet manifold though!!!!! running ok as it is but my inlet man is shit! hoses deform wish i had 200 quid then would bother to set it up properly!

yeah just meant in general through the gears or something lol, did the mk4 box go straight on? yah my hoses deform a bit too i need to sort the manifold soon!

I've got an 8p 5 speed box from my mk2 on there and it seemed alright ratio wise. i drove it for a week but the carbs i was temporarily using were jetted ect for an 8v lol. pulled well though
