Which bike carbs have a TPS?
My medium term plan once the Indy is SVAd with the CVH engine is a 1.8 Zetec with bike carbs and megajolt.
Which bike carbs would be most suited to this application?
I'll need a TPS for the megajolt so might as well get bike carbs with one on already.
Cheers
Stu

ZX6 carbs definitely have a throttle pot.

almost - blade ones are 38 or 40mm bird ones are 42mm, otherwise (jets etc aside)identical.
But then I'm just nit picking

Because the Zetec is a better engine.

then why not fit one in the first place?
and as for being a better engine ,yes but it depends what you are going to use the car for to fit a zetec dont forget he will need engine
mounts,exhaust man,plus a list of small jobs my 1.8 runs with a 1.6 head and different pistons plus a few other mods all of which could be done a lot
cheaper than an engine change and will produce a nice torquey motor with decent hp,the cvh gets a lot of bad press some of it is justified be we ran
an heavly modded xr3i + xr2i in 750 mc hot hatches and when we worked right tuning route the engine was v powerfull and very reliable.
will step of soap box now.

another take on this one, why fit the carbs????????????????????????????
Surely if you are buying megajolt and bike carbs, it will cost almost exactly the same to fit bike throttle bodies and megasquirt?????????????????
Fitting mapped ignition without mapped injection when there are no rules to comply with doesn't make sense to me when the cost difference is
naff all, especially if you can find somebody with a map that is close to right, which you will for a zetec on megasquirt!
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning
