16v quad throttles or twin carbs?

These sort of threads are about as informative as a Ford vs Holden argument. Everyone has their opinions and states them as if they are indisputible fact.

They both work, they both can be good, they both can be expensive (check retail price on a pair of new 45mm Webers). Make your own decisions.

mikuni RS is where its at. the price you pay, for what youre getting..im strongly considring them fo my "2nd stage" with the coupe.

that or the OE type bike carbs if youre a tinkerer (maybe slightly more suited to a 20v)

the limiting factor is always the ignition set up. if you're confident you have a handle on that the tuning of the above set ups isnt all that hard once you have a read. you basically are only alterting one jet. (4,one in each carb) and here are decent guidelines to the point that you should be able to get the to run pretty well just using the suggstions people have made.

there is always the argument of "oh but it will run rich in the mid range".. seriously though, how spot on are most peoples 20v's? most run pretty rich on part throttle etc as well.

Agreed about the ease of tuning. While I haven't tuned a 4AG on carbs, I've tuned a few single cylinder motorbikes with a wideband recently and that is so simple that even I can work it out. I don't think it would be fundamentally any different when you've got four of them fitted. Though you should be able to tune out any midrange problems too by changing needle height and get good AFRs through the entire rev and throttle range.

This thread may have persueded me to do a carb set up eventually.
