turboDA6

jus came back from a local shop, ran into some of the oldschool racers that i used to watch when i was like 14. well he pops his hood n i notice his "ITB's" so i asked, about them.. he stops me n says "those aint ITB's, there individual carburators". i never even knew people could do that to a honda engine. anyone kno any info on doing this? i didn't wanna ask him to many questions bout it cuz i didnt wanna bug him but what are they advantages of doing this? what kinda gains or power can be held when doing this? no more ecu, harness, jus the basic ---- to start it up n what not.. no injectors. he had it mated up to an ls-v but no vtec cuz no ecu, with direct port nitrous. i dont kno why but they always do ls-v projects but dont even run the vtec. they say something with that head and block combo makes it run stronger then a regular ls motor.

anyone got any info on this? thanks

the vtec is the easy part, you could just use some sort of switch to pop the solenoid. whats he using to manage the spark?

turboDA6

they choose to "not" run vtec. they jus want the ls with vtec head combo. for spark i have no idea, i saw an msd coil blaster or some ----. i didn't ask to many questions on the setup. just saw it and aw'd over it.

pressurized fuel into a rack of carbs? how's that work?

turboDA6

dont think he's runnin a pump? carb's run off vaccum. but the carbs have some kinda mini fuel tank under each carb. i wanna kno how he did this =x i wanna try out a straight LS carb'd turbo setup.

I'd get it on and running correctly before thinking about turbo.. that'd be a tough project.. good luck if you do it.

I'm also curious, what kind of carburators would you use on this type of application?

carbureted cars do have fuel pumps, they don't work by black magic

con

there are lots of carborated hondas out there, chris has one I believe. weber mukini and delorto come to mind for carbs and intakes and I have seen some with street bike carbs also, trust me he has a fuel pump

yah they have pumps but the fuel pressure is a lot lower than fuel injected engines

they could be using those i think toda vtec killer cams lol, so all the lobes are the same size as when vtec hits, somtimes bigger...
