I am willing to offer my 1972 skyline up for prototyping this LOL (it has a meager L20 L6 in it, but hey, close enough..) Definitely interested in this conversation. Hopefully this hits an affordable price range when the kinks are all ironed out IF you take it public.

I'm still looking for these parts.. seems like everytime i find a part that i can grab someone swoops in and pulls the rug from under me. ANYONE have any of these? the Crank is definitely the main part that i want to find. the rest i can find later as i piece it together.

Replied!

I've been on the hunt for a while for the parts i will need for my build, i have a '72 Skyline GTR clone, (minus the badges..) im going to pull the L20 and build a stroker for it as soon as i get into the country, so im on the look out for the needed parts. if anyone has anything i could use: 81-83 V07 DIESEL MAXIMA CRANK 1973 240z Rods 9mm KA24E piston from the 240SX. for now, this is all im concerned with, the rest i will buy when i get settled. Thanks for any ideas' help you can offer.

you probably think I'm this whiney little nOOb that just wants to steal everyone else's hard work.. this is not the case. my post was intended to say hey if you know how to tune carbs, and have some kind of formula that you use based on your components that will get you into the ball park range of what i need, please share it with me. I'm reading the only sticky i saw in this section on webers, and its a good read, but I'm going to convert it to PDF cause i really only have a few minutes to look at this stuff here and there. ( i know you could care less about my scheduling LOL) i will put it on my iPad so i can read it on the go so with that said. i am new to carbs, i went through all kinds of hell getting the SU's working right, and now that the car is running awesome, I'm ready to make it more complicated, and throw a wrench into the works by adding these carbs LOL. Thanks for the suggestion (awesome avatar BTW.. love monty pythons holy grail..) i will continue to read the guide i found, and hope it gives me some kind of idea where to start. it would be cool if you could buy a starter kit with a nice variety of jets for these things. i had a setup like that on my TurboII FC, it was a blow through setup with Holley DP 650 carb, i had this massive set of jets that came with the carb. that damn car never ran right.. guess thats why Mazda intended it to have EFI.. but it was a cool car nonetheless i will stop rambling now..

no body?

I have a $48 credit with pierce manifolds actually, so thats where i plan on buying the missing jets from, but i need to get an idea of a good starting point. does anyone sell a jet kit that has like 6 of every jet LOL?? OH and this is an L20 engine, not L28 like most people run. its still the stock engine, BUT it had these carbs installed at one time.

Ok, i got this car with the SU's installed, but it came with a broken down set of DCOE 40's and a F.E.T. Manifold. I've pieced everything together for the manifold, and 99% for the carbs (looks like the owner was attempting a rebuild, but gave up on it??) my problem is thatr i dont have any idea what size Idle jets to get. here's what was installed in the carbs when i got them: Aux. Venturi: 35 Chokes: 32 Emulsion tube: F11 Air Corrector jet: 220 Main Jets: 140 Pump Jets: 45 Starter Jets: 100 F 5 so i have the idle jet holders, but no idle jets anywhere in all the crap that came with the carbs or the car, ive been told you guys have some awesome guys on here with a LOT of knowledge and might be able to help me out. PLEASE tell me someone can help me get these last pieces so i can set up my carbs soon. the SU's are cool, but everyone wants trips on their old school skyrine LOL Thanks, Tim.
