    why are you wanting to take a backwards step in engineering on fuel injection?

    And no there is no inlet manifold from citroen. You will have to use something like the bogg bros. set up

    *sighs*

    You wont make alot more power without spending big ££££, and fitting a carb isnt the way to go imo.

    you would be better of going for itb's/boost, take a scroll on the progress pages and you will realise everybody thats looking for more power does this.

    As above , start with something fast..then make it faster.

    So a Vts engine would be a good start, then Cams,Tbs... etc.

    I messed with Webber Twin 40's on my Saxo... Then R1 Carbs.

    Nothing like good old Carbs but now I think itb's and Turbo are the way forward

    Just tape the carbs to your engine I'm sure it will make some difference. I'd recommend double sided though, just to be safe

    Sorry for the sacrcastic reply but you sir should not be allowed to modify any car!

    Exactly what I mean! People who talk crap and actually believe it as well. They just piss me off sooooo much.

    long story short

    its possible, but not exactly cheap when you have to get a manifold made and figure out how to make it work!

    you could make a manifold yourself? not to difficult if you can fabricate or know someone who can? plus carbs are that expensive. theres a youtube video of a 106 with a mk2 vtr engine on carbs and it says it has 165hp.

    You could but you still have to think about ignition. Ideally you want a stand alone programmable 3D mappable ignition system or at the very least get the standardised ECU custom programmed to do the same job for the new setup. Though if your going to this much trouble it would not really be any harder to stick with fuel injection.

    and you think its gained 65bhp by simply wanging a set of carbs on?
