i really need help finding carbs please

[Guest]

hi i kno this wont go dwn too well but....

im building a track car and i want to put the engine on bike carbs, preferably 900cc or higher im not really fussed, ive been advised to get fireblade carbs, but i was thinking thunderace yzf carbs or ninja's or R1 carbs but like i say as long as they are 900+ thats fine for me.

I was hopin to turn to the experts to help on where to get some from or hoping that 1 of you that reads this might have sum in the shed or some spares you would sell me or know a friend thats has some.

I would prefer 1996-2000 for the year or carb. Make like i say doesnt really matter asling as they are from a fast bike and they must be in good or excellent condition

like i say it probably wont go down too well with you lot that im doing a car but i need help an who better to turn to they you guys an gals

What's the engine in it?

[Guest]

its a 2.0l 8v mk3 golf gti, its nothing professional jus wanted to build a car suitable for shows an race days

[Bill_on_a_bike]

why not use carbs from a Mk3 golf GTi?

[Guest]

Twin Webbers??

[Guest]

i dont want to use twin webbers they arent as reliable as bike carbs, an a mk3 golf gti doesnt have carbs it uses injection, i just wondered if any1 could help me out with a set of 900cc + carbs as i have an inlet made up by sum specialists to allow the carbs to fit with no problems

just need to find some now

tried ebay... ??

[Guest]

yeh they just rip you off want a fortune for some of the stuff an then a fortune to post the item, thats y i joined here to see if anybody on here could sort me out

[Guest]

you not tried a local breaker for carbs of a big 4cyl car...

and you'll find that good carbs off big cc sportbikes are being picked up by bikers building one offs, or repairing their own...

could be that your budget is too small, a bank of 4 carbs is easily £100+

How do you start run an engine that requires an ECU? It would need the original injection to work correctly wouldn't it? out of my realm of knowledge I think. (got a Mk3 golf 1.4)

[Guest]

would you all please trust me i kno what i am doin, i jus thought i would turn to bikers for sum help on bike parts seems i was wrong, cuz you all seem to be askin stupid questions!

ive got everything i need to make the bike carbs fit all i need is a set of carbs but even that seems to be a struggle to sort out

appologies for the out burst but what engine an any other questions doesnt matter, i have seen videos of cars anythin from a 1.3 all the way to a 2.0l engine 8v or 16 have the carbs on like i say i jus needed help sourcing some carbs
