I have "rejeted" the stock carb with gross jets, different style, all they do is screw in, it is easy to swap out. I am not sure who would make larger jets... British Victoria may have the gross jets (it was a long time ago when I did it). But if you can swap styles of jets you can definately swap size of jets.



Does anyone else have experience with this?

It might not be very hard to pull the stock ones out and modify them... but that might take some engineering skills...

They are fairly small (kin of like the top piece of a bic pen if you took it apart). I couldn't tell you angles for the new bore, it still needs to atomize the fuel.



http://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=34828. here is another guy who has used them. Or just type gross jets and carb in a yahoo search. There is alot of people talking about modifying their carbs to more or less fuel.



The nice part is the Nikki carb is designed to swap out or remove those jets!

What size of intake pipe would you need going to the hat..??? And what angle do you need the pipe at.???( strait, 45 down, 90 left..???) Do you need a custom carb stud or are you going to fab your own..??

Allright this is how it turned out if your still interested...

[attachment=43946:carb_hat.JPG]

It's not the best work I've done but it will get boosted air down you nikki...

You would have to supply a rubber O-ring to seal it to the carb( the rubber ring off the stock air box works great, And I did not drill a hole for your carb stud since I dont know the specs for the one your using..



Thank you,

-Jared
