budget itb’s using bike carbs ??

does anybody recon a set of '84 cb900 carbs would be a good starting point for a mild 8v digi conversion?
TIA

be easier to use bike tbs rather than carbs

 

May as well just convert DCOE/DHLA carbs if you're going to go to the
trouble of blocking off the barrels and fitting injectors anyway. A dodgy
pair of DCOE/DHLAs is only the price of bike carbs anyway.

If you want to do carbs properly I've got a pair of perfect condition, fully
rebuilt DHLAs for sale which would work a treat on that xflow of yours.

 

good thoughts, it's not for the x-flow btw.

But fabricating a manifold for the digi head looks like a right pig, so a ready made dcoe one appeals, any idea what they go for? Bearing in mind that the bike TB idea is supposed to b a cheap option!

 

Don`t use those carbs, they are hideous! you want some decent Syzuki Hyabusa (sp) bodies as a starting point.

 

thanks m8, i had an idea that was the case from the setup/drawings i've seen on the net, just wanted some conformation really, they were cheap tho.....

 

whats the matter with converted carbs to itb's

 

the whole idea of this project is to sort the problems associated with fitting bike itb's.

 

cb 900 carbs 30
cbr 900 TB's 120

 

Trust me you`ll have no end of bother with the `84 CB900 carbs, they weren`t the best, design has got a lot better over the years. If you can get a later set of carbs cheap then it`s an option but I`d be going with the bike throttle bodies personally. GSXR 1000`s have twin butterfly tb`s one set being servo driven supposed to give max power at all throttle openings, works very well on the bike! Would be interesting to see anyone gettint that working on a car.

 

Have a look on HondaTech.com Lots of ppl using the later and larger GSXR bodies, mainly US based tho
