Dead Roman Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I would very much like to use an l28 for a motorcycle project but I have some questions and I have been doing quite bit of searching to find answers. I used to have a turbo motor for a z build but that is long gone now so I dont have any way of taking measurements or vizualizing what I need. 1. Could you theoretically run 6 small carbs, one for each cylinder? My thinking behind this would be to use very short individual intake manifolds. 2. Will there be any negative side effects to using very short intake manifolds( basically 1-2 inches long) 3. Is there any kind of "low profile" distributor design out there? Basically the smallest most unobtrusive ignition setup possible? Any way of getting rid of the distributor that O am not aware of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctc Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Try searching. Diddler(sp) on here is using GSXR throttle bodies. Carbs would work on the same principle. Runner length has been discussed, both pros and cons. A few have gone crank trigger and don't need the distributor. Search, then ask very specific questions or this will end up in the tool shed.

BlueStag Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I would very much like to use an l28 for a motorcycle project Wow. What sort of motorcycle takes a cast iron block straight six? Why do I have the feeling that this thing is not going to be brilliant at taking turns? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dershum Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Wow. What sort of motorcycle takes a cast iron block straight six? Why do I have the feeling that this thing is not going to be brilliant at taking turns? A rather long and heavy one? Sounds like something out of Monster Garage...

Dead Roman Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 Its just a goof around project. Its not gonna be very good at anything really. Going for an old, inline 4 indian boardtracker style look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
