Mensaf Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 After looking at pictures across the net, I somehow don't think that this is one of them: The inlet looks totally different from this: Anyone care to chime in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 no, it's not it's a open box by the looks of it, a quick cheap copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHO-Z Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 It looks to be set up for Mikuni or SK Carbs by the look of the top covers for the float bowls attached. I have about $30 invested in my plenum and I think it will work just as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savageskaterkid Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Azcarbum is selling this. Its not an actual HKS surge, its a knockoff, but it does have a pretty cool look to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daeron Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 if you re-read the post, it is actually referred to as a knockoff piece, but it looks to be of decent quality. I think the term used was "HKS-style." As noted here and in that thread, it comes with the mikuni/sk jet covers drilled with the pressure index hose running to them to pressurize the float bowls for on-boost enrichment.

Tony D Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 On mine, I actually cut the holes in the same flange as the carburettor throats, same as HKS does. That auxillary jet cover thing is wierd, and unrequired if the proper gasket and plenum openings are used. Makes removal a snap, as well.

Mensaf Posted June 29, 2008 Author Share Posted June 29, 2008 So would something like this be worth getting for a turbo setup w/mikuni's? I'd rather not have something blow into 10,000 pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savageskaterkid Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 It looks to be a nice piece, would work with mikuni's. Came so close to buying this, but couldn't justify the money as I already had my SK plenum, and the Z needed that money in other ways. I'd say do it. Azcarbum got me my SK plenum, he's a great guy to deal with, and the stuff he sells isn't exactly plentiful here. It sounds kinda ricey to say it like this, but his stuff is AUTHENTIC JDM...yo.

Mensaf Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 lol. Good. I'm new to carbs, so I might sound like a super noob at times. Appreciate the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savageskaterkid Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 you looking at doing the triple carb turbo setup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mensaf Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 Yea. Got the triple carbs, manifold, and downpipe. Working on the chassis for now, and upgrading all the necessary components. Looking into boosting a stroker motor as well. I just can't find a piston combination to set the compression ratio low enough yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
