the reason im doing carb is so i dont have to deal with abunch of wiring when it get dropped into........ the ae86 of doom

ummmm. why are you using the old age technology of a carb? EFI is the easy way to go, and doing a stanalone with a specific wiring harness especially for a race purpose car will not be that messy. you can wire in the main fuse block and relays into the interior of the car.



GET CREATIVE! GO EFI!

That's crazy talk! carb might be cheaper at first, but the time you will have to spend fuckalating with it to get everything dialed in, you'll wish you stayed efi.

what size is the fitting of the hole in the end of it where the harmonic goes



without trying to flame you for using a carb and what not. i would like to help you out, but i have no idea what you are talking about here.... can you get a pic?

simplybebop 05-21-2006 10:43 PM

why would i have to spend money dialing it in???

You are talking about putting a carbed N/A 13B into an 86, the whole thing sounds like a money pit from the get go, so putting a carb on the engine is going to somehow make the swap easier?



It seems like that is he last possible thing you would want to do after putting an engine into a car that wasn't designed for it for the purpose of a drift car, the mounts have to be fabbed, the fuel delivery system will need to be adjusted, the suspension will need to be tuned, the running gear will need to be upgraded, not to mention any other complications that may arise, and after all that you want to take the essential plug and play of the efi/engine management application and pitch it in the dumpster to run a 1500.00? carb setup on an engine that might put 150hp to the street?



How much time will it take to get the carb tuned? what is your time worth? that is what i mean when i say it will cost you more time than what you can hope to earn in performance gains

Why go back in technology? Carbs are gay hard to tune fluctuate with air temps and humidity and make less power. Get a stand alone and a turbo, NA rotary’s are like lawnmowers. If you want NA power then put some spray on it.

Anybody in this thread actually run a carb on a rotary? Or just read about it on a forum?

simplybebop 05-22-2006 01:59 PM

these guys act like carbs are the worst thing in the world, u dont understand that i live in a race family and tuning carbs are easier than tuning a ems to me





and why is it evertime u tell somebody a project your doing they flame you about it, thats why the last few projects i did i kept to myself, fabbin up mounts, like thats a problem????? i have a shop







plus 150hp is MORE than enough for a ae86, they need serious chassis bracing around 200 or they start to fall apart and then u say i will have to do suspension tuning, welll duhhhhhh ill have to do that nomatter what engine i put in it , its a drift car that comes with the it, lol
