mr jason Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Hello all...So i am the new owner of this little beauty!I am going to give a good dose of luvvin'.So the first job is to fit the carb, HSR42. The problem being that this carb is larger than the original, therefore will not go in t' space!. So this is an issue!The idea i am thinking about is spacing the carb away from the turbo intake, and what i would like to know is, is there a maximum distance that the carb can be spaced away?.Or any other good idead will be appreciated...CheersJasonOk so just tried to get pics from my phone and wont do it. Will add some pics when i get back 1 Quote
Gixer1460 Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 I knew you wouldn't be able to leave it alone! I was working on a EFI intake with injectors mounted in it so I could use a Throttle body in place of the carb - new tech meets old tech meets vintage! 1 Quote

Will add some pics when i get backOn my old efe i welded a flange onto a tube "same size as the turbo inlet" that took the HSR inlet manifold and used a silicone hose to mount the tube to the turbo You can get a HSR manifold from Allens Performancei,ve also used a curved "angled" hose on an S&S carb to gain the room needed and keep it as close as poss to the action 1 Quote
mr jason Posted August 11, 2015 Author Posted August 11, 2015 thank you chaps! i shall find my trusty measuring device and sort some tube... see what happens! Quote

mr jason Posted August 15, 2015 Author Posted August 15, 2015 @Gixer1460 does the carb need to be a S&S shorty E?, i might be able to get my hands on a S&S super D. would that be ok or is it better to use the shorty E?cheers Quote

Sort of one step down the evolutionary ladder from the 'E' models! Quote
mr jason Posted January 31, 2016 Author Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) Been a while since an update, so here's one. not much has happened really, just bought a few bits for it. finally found an S&S Super E. got an inlet adapter made for it and got a sexy bellmouth for it too. thanks @Fastbyme. sent the exhaust of to be polished, i had the down pipes and connector pipe done in a "factory finish", and the exit pipe mirror polished, came out very nice i reckon. Edited January 31, 2016 by mr jason damn pictures!! 5 Quote
