   I've seen a few saxo's locally with bike carbs, anybody know what you need for this conversion and if its actually worth it?

   You would need
   
   - The carbs
   - Custom made inlet manifold
   - Bigger fuel injectors OR
   - Adjustable fuel pressure regulator
   - Uprated ecu
   - Have it all remapped to run properly
   
   I might have missed one or two things but that will be most of it
   
   Is it worth it? In my opinion, definitely not unless it's a vts, still if it's on a vts and set up properly, they will only add about 30bhp, but will cost around £1000 + labour costs

   Why would you want bigger injectors with carbs?
   
   Also 30bhp gain is dream land.

   I was just curious if it was actually worth it- I've seen a few floating about and just toying with ideas. For that sort of money, I don't think its worth it at all though!

    According to numerous chip wizard rolling roads, they add 4-7bhp on a cammed (ph3/708) Vts.
