Drummerboy4as Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 It's really just about finding someone that can laser or water jet the flange. I found a place online that sells mandrel bent aluminum pipe cut to length, I think about a 45* bend should do it. Then have a shop or friend tig it all together. The flange is the tough part IMO Is forward motion the company that did them originally? It's been a while since I've read the beginning of the thread. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Just checked my U67 head, no ports. My A87 does have them. I'd be curious to find out if they can safely be plugged. I swear I read on here somewhere recently that those run through the right bank of the engine and if plugged the coolant doesn't circulate properly and the right side of the engine will heat up too much. To the search bar!! :D Edit: maybe not http://community.rat...175#entry672175 Open or closed has no effect. The U-67 intake uses a heat riser using hot exhaust to warm the intake under the carb. @ spudly13, You are talking about these? These just keep the intake runners warm so fuel dose not condensate and puddle in the cold runners. This head dosent have them, and I don't think sidedraft intakes use them. I believe this is a ported l20 race head. DatzenMike, what do you think? What do I think? I think that the SSS L16/18 SU intake has the water passages... 1 Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Why not make a template of your head, place it on your material of choice, and use a drill press? Only making round holes at certain locations. Quote Link to comment

Only making round holes at certain locations. That's what I was somewhat thinking...then clean the rough 'edges' up with a jet/grinding bit Quote Link to comment
gonzo Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Yeah that's them. Somebody also posted that they thru away the Jig so they can't make new ones. I never saw anybody reply to confirm that though. I wonder if I can just cut a stock intake and modify it and weld tube runners? Just a thought. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Use the gasket to trace out the pattern. I wonder if I can just cut a stock intake and modify it and weld tube runners? Just a thought. Yes to this too. The KA24E comes out bends down slightly and then tilts up. Just cut where the angle sets the carbs fuel bowl level. Quote Link to comment

I would hate to be the guy to have to weld nice aluminum to the crappy cast aluminum our intakes are made out of ;) Quote Link to comment

VintageRice Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 My fancy clamps came. Also got this to fill my VW radiator, its from a 2000 dodge dakota (thanks for the info creepy cruiser!!) Quote Link to comment
VintageRice Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 BTW, with the short runners, gas fill tube for the couplers, and the stainless t-bolt clamps those mothers are ON THERE. I can grab the carbs and try to wiggle them and the whole car moves. SOLID! Quote Link to comment

Farmer Joe Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 from how it looks, i bet if there was fuel in the carbs its prolly fire up... 1 Quote Link to comment
VintageRice Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 I need a couple coolant lines. I need my inline low pressure pump. I get my new, shorter, driveshaft monday. When I get the driveshaft I might just hang a bottle of gas above them and fire it off!!! Can't wait anymore. :hyper: 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 I am so wet right now.... I want to have a quadruple-some with those carbs.... I want to lick them... 1 Quote Link to comment
gonzo Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 I know this is an "R1 Carbs" thread but I've heard about using GSX-R carbs also, anybody got input on that. What about other Street Bikes or Keihin carbs? Quote Link to comment
Logical1 Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 I am so wet right now.... I want to have a quadruple-some with those carbs.... I want to lick them... May I watch?

Vintage, I want to hear you beast running so bad :w00t: This thread has made me want to scrap my turbo L and build a R1 KA dual cam of fury :devil: Quote Link to comment

What about other Street Bikes or Keihin carbs? I'm using some CBR600 carbs from a honda, on my 76' Honda Civic, Basically the same except they come with Velocity stacks from the factory :D otherwise very simple and I believe you have to buy a Dynojet kit to have adjustable needles but otherwise they are basically the same, A little smaller then R1 carbs most are 36-38mm a little bit better for low end torque on a 1500cc like I have in my Honderp but otherwise basically the same in every sense.
