Ta mate same haha

[madtoranajzedded]

Done a pretty good job of extending those.

I cant even see where you have joined it lol

Looks great..

Can i ask why have you extended them..

[Niz]

Ta mate . The Hsr's need to be mounted vertical so I extended them to suit.. Should have it running in a month or two

[madtoranajzedded]

Really b fooked..i have set of armours and am
going to run hsrs sometime in the future.

Bugger i didnt know that dude.mine have
around 15 deg angle on end.i might have to
look into some kind of thicker at top thinner
at bottom spacer to pull carb down to get it
vertical.i aways thought it didnt matter as
bikes lean into corners somewhat..

That news has hit me abit lol..hmmmm

[Niz]

Pretty sure mine were 30 deg angle.. I'm not running balance tube either. It's no biggie to extend the manifold , they just have to clear the inner guard also.. I think when you run hsr's everything is trial and error haha...

[madtoranajzedded]

Yeah i dont really want to extend them though.

Id prolly rather get new tubes done than to
change the armours.only because they cost
me 600 ..

I gather having the angle is to do with the
fuel bowl....maybe it can b modified to suit
the angle?..looks like i have some reading to
do on how much of an angle they can go..

[Niz]

No more than 5 deg . And yes the fuel bowl is the issue , same as the hif44 Su carbs...

[madtoranajzedded]

Thanks Niz..im glad i know this now than
when the time comes..im aloooong way off
though..monies all tied up on another project
shit box haha..

Cheers maz

Cool when u r ready hopefuly I have them sorted and can help out with some info... What size were u going to go?

[madtoranajzedded]

I have 42's picked out hoping for a
conservative 200-220 hp max so just a little unsure on Sizing.i am getting mine from states
through this guy who has done tests to
compare other carbs to them.been awhile cant
remember but peter who has a yellow uc on
here got his through him if i remember
correctly,and is running a warnerford type manifold. b interesting on what angle its on
was my first choice but couldnt find one,so
i put up an add for armours and within in an
hr had a set which was quite suprising seems
the popularity of them.

Love it!!

As a moto guy as well as a Torana guy, this is gonna sound awesome.

Has anyone done this with EFI throttle bodies? Either moto (450cc) throttle bodies or street bike ones?

It would be interesting to compare the results.

[Niz]

Thanks guys And yep can't wait to drive her but there is still abit to go .. Hopefuly by February It will be ready

[MictheAussie]

I was just wondering as the 450F motorcycles run the injector in the throttle body.

You could run regular carby manifolds and fuel distribution set up. IDK seems like it could be pretty cool.

Sorry, don't mean to hijack the thread. Got me thinking is all.
