is it me or does it seem one side draught wouldnt dump enough fuel for this

Two sidedraft carbs flow about the same as one sidedraft carb. The reason is the manifolds only feed half the cylinders per carb.

 

If you put two carbs on a full-plenum manifold, feeding all four cylinders, then you'd have double the flow. But I've never seen a sidedraft setup like that.

On a mormally asperated motor the engine has to do all the work sucking the air through the carb. Up to a point a larger or multiple carbs will reduce the effort and there would be some gain. On a turbo, the turbo is doing all the work for the motor. You could have a carb the size of a garbage can, it still has to narrow down and pass through the turbo inlet.

How about 2 SUs on a full plenum feeding a V8? It's called early Rolls Royce with the aluminum V8. The intake has a vertical extension with an SU hung on the opposite sides. Looks like an Edelbrock manifold with an aluminum Kleenex box stuffed down its throat.

I thought he meant one draught beer wasn't enough.:D Surprisingly it's a British spelling for a word of the same meaning. Either works, draft is shorter.
