Click on the Tech Projects link to your left. There is a good writeup in there specifically about what you want to do.

Re: bike carbs for a b16
 

Are they carbs or throttle bodies?

Re: bike carbs for a b16
 

yeah carbs or throttle bodys.. maybe you shouldent be putting them on if your asking if vtec will work :y im sure if you put carbs on your ecu will wonder wtf is up with fuel presure why you dont have fuel injectors hooked up, etc...

Re: bike carbs for a b16
 

Your gonna have to run a stand alone basically just for ignition since you won't need anything for fuel management with a carb'd setup. As for vtec it's gonna be a tuff one since usually once vtec kicks on your ecu will usually throw in more fuel. You'd have to go with a msd setup with the RPM swith. Even still how would you get the extra fuel with the carb'd for once it's activated? If you got some cash then go with some toda vtec killer cams setup or I think a couple US companies have them. Just go LS or CRV. carb'd b20... hmmm 8) Good luck and let us know what you do.

tunings a bitch... guy locally has carb'd LS-Vtec but is havin a hard time gettin it to run.

Re: bike carbs for a b16
 

yeah, i bet its fun to go though and rejet 4 carbs and adjust the needle height over and over again..

have they tryed making an air box for it? sometimes just the little amount of vaccume that it causes helps so damn much when your trying to get carbs to run right.

Re: bike carbs for a b16
 

they wouldn't listen to me if i told them that. there all the main mechanics at a local shop. they think they know everything about cars lol. i'd say they know a good amount, they build ls-v carb's all the time. but lately they've been havin a hard time with this recent setup. ls-v carb'd with 200-300 shot of nitrous. when it is running right this little thing moves.

Re: bike carbs for a b16
 

Man this thread is full of misinformation. You do not need a standalone to run carbs or vtec. :3

Re: bike carbs for a b16
 

i agree lol, u only need somethign to control spark n you could hook up ur vtec to a WOT switch or something lol you dont even need an ecu... at all...

Re: bike carbs for a b16
 

running carbs on a b16 would be a waste, you would spend much less on some junkyard itbs. once the itb setup is on you may need an afc but its still worth it once you get it tuned. if you are lucky or know the right person you can get all the parts for dirt cheap.

Re: bike carbs for a b16
 

you mean you dont need a ecu to controll spark?? didn't all pre 1980 cars have a hidden secret ecu for spark control? ::) spark and vtec is the easy part, good luck on the tuning :P

Re: bike carbs for a b16
 

thanks ppl :y :y :y a m8 of mines bro has a 2.0 vaxhaul and he's had some put on that. it was a drive in drive out job they tuned it and the lot but it cost him £700 thats like $1600. but i now you can get them on ebay for like £40 + other parts and fit them your self. but i did not know how the vtec would work. i still dont now what to do but i will keep you lite.
thanks for not giving me ---- ppl
o and they are of a r1 as they have a 40mm port

Re: bike carbs for a b16
 

Whitey enlighten us all on your knowledge if you know all. Jut the basic megasquirt I mean as standalone for the spark and ignition. Not like some motec or crazy ---- like that would be needed.

Re: bike carbs for a b16
 

Why would you put carbs on an engine that was intended to be fuel injected? Tuning will be a bitch, you wont gain much other than maybe a headache from days sitting in the garage breathing in exhaust fumes. This is a turbo website, slap on a turbo, of if you really want to be different, get some ITB's(fuel injected) and do an ITB turbo setup like Tony The Tiger off Honda Tech, I saw the car in person and it looks frigin sweet.

Re: bike carbs for a b16
 

I never said I know it all its just that the Honda ignition system is no feat of modern engineering, its just an old school distributor that controls spark.


Car ignitions were around before labtops were, so you can tune a car without a labtop. I mean did you ever see a pic of a 1970's Chevelle using a 1970's computer to control timing?

Re: bike carbs for a b16
 

Simplification. My former step dad Mike has an 83 Monte Carlo, originally was a FI 305, swapped in a built 350 with a 4 barrel carb.. he eliminated all of the emissions BS and the FI crap, he ended up with maybe 4 or 5 wires in the engine bay, compared to something like 50 or so before.

Of course this is on an NA domestic, I think it would be an interesting thing to do on an NA Honda.. but forced induction.. I'd leave the fuel injection.
