Benefits:
Less wiring
If your changing engines 4ac -4ag , its cheaper than converting to EFI
Cons:
More fuel consumption
Regular tuning (you might want to use bike carbs)
Can be a pain to drive through traffic
As they say "OLD-SKOOL"
Just wondering about the benefits and drawbacks of twins carbies on a 4AGE if theyre tuned properly.

One of my mates is running twins on his 16v, hes found that fuel consumtion isn't as bad as everyont makes out, but the tuning is... you have to retune them evertime you change altitude so yeah.
Also, putting twins on a EFI engine is very illigal (in NSW anyways)
Linkages can be almost as expensive as getting a manifold, which arn't to hard to find, but speaking from first hand... they are very cool and quick
CAN be cheaper if you're lookin at going bigger cams, ported, polished etc etc.
they sound hot.
Are there any performance benifits?
And how often do they have to be tuned and what kind of altitude changes do they have to be tuned for?
Does anyone know if its the same in QLD?
How so?
Also the E in 4AGE is efi isnt it? so would that make it a 4AGC?
I did not say that the consumption is bad
I said that theres more fuel consunption
I did not say putting twins on EFI
I said that, a 4ac is carby and converting it to 4ag costs around an extra $700 to $900 for all the EFI wiring, but you can run without EFI by installing carbs.
Carbs sound great, but a high reving engines with a Sports injection KIT sounds allot better.
The engine Im thinking of is
100kw 4AG
rebuilt to include a ported and polished head
balanced crank and conrods
high compression pistons
electronic fuel pump
Ivan Tighe racing cams
custom made tuned length extractors
twin 42mm side draft Webbers
Apparently it revs out near 9000rpm.
You will get more horsepower out of 4ag with this
Chill dude, I wasn't having a go.
42mm? Try to find 45mm!!!
Performance benefits, about the same as a well tuned quad efi... the biggest drawback is that in a locked curve, the power band is extremely narrow, so a computer to run the advance can be quite expensive... so in the end, you might as well go quads on EFI

I know the intake has alot to do with the HP, but wouldn't the engine specs dictate the HP output?
