My buddy and I built a 1985 crx with a 45mm webers back in the day. Then went ls/vtec and blew the motor up with no rev limiter
Car qualified #8 in an all motor class at idrc back in 1999 I think
I still have a set of 45mm weber carbs for my 1st gen crx.

What I found odd was all the carbed 92-95 chassis civic's/teg's in jap land

Re: My prelude needs a new carb
I was working on sticking a set of mikuni 42's off an R1 on my d15b2 but I sold the car today.
Chopped the plenumn off an obx manifold and clamped on some hose to attach the carbs, they had basically the same cylinder spacing. For ignition I had a GM 7 pin HEI module, which controls dwell and has a built in advance curve, to read off the stock TDC sensor and power a coil. Alternator runs as a one wire, so no mods there. Basically I just needed a new throttle cable and it would have been running.

Re: My prelude needs a new carb
What I find shocking is who hasnt learned basic fuel injection if you have touched a car built in the last 20 years. I was with a friend of mine when she got her oil changed and the maybe 30 year old guy says that her carb needs a tune up :1. Im assuming these are the same guys trashing all the old hondas these days.
