Thom.

what do you know about this set-up?

was it custom built, or an aftermarket manifold.

i sure like the idea of ONE carb.

not so much for power, but for ease of service as opposed to four.

just jt

It looks like it would be fun.....

Now that would be kewl on 1st gen.

Ran a Holley double pumper on my old Mazda RX-2 with a 12A Rotary with a 10500 rpm redline. That thing was a screamer, miss that old car.

That would be a sweet setup! Unless it backfired. Brother-in-law told me today he seen a pic of a Boss Hoss three wheeler with a blower on it. It was between the handlebars. Don't know about you guys but I've seen blowers BLOW-UP. NOT PRETTY. But it would make for a impressive ride. I can see it now:detective: a turbocharged,four barrel,nitrous bottled venture.:mo money: Skid wins.

I thought it was a UPS truck.

i had a 73 rx-3 mazda stationwagon, factory 4 barrell, 140mph. in '74 the voltwagen rabbit would out run the corvette from 0-60 mph. my mazda would outrun the rabbit. take a look at this v-max built by a speed shop near me. i'd like to crack the throttle on it!!

Sn a VMax a few weeks ago out on Long Island. Had a Holly 450 cfm AND he designed and added a belt driven Turbo Charger. Said it dyno'ed out at 280 hp at the REAR Wheel. Now that's a fast bike. Should have seen the frame stiffeners he had added to that bad Bob. Asked if he had ever opened it up. He said no he was to scared to and that the only reason he did it was "because he thought he could". And he was right

That V-Max is nuts, lol. Too much motor for me.

 

That 12A I had was built by Racing Beat in So Cal. The ports were opened up and had bridge ports as well. Many of the parts were their brand.

 

It would pull the front end of the ground in first and second and stretch the suspension fully going into third. They can build some nice machines.

 

When the RX-7 came out, theirs ran so hard, they had to be de-tuned so other people had a chance the ranks they raced in. They outran everyone all the time.

Sorry, I rant about this once in a while but that was a really fun car. Loudest lawnmower you ever heard.

You could beat him all the way to the gas station. After that, he's got ya down the road!

Hey Skid I got this little Turbo I ain't doing nothing with and carbs can be had without much trouble.... Stove still there? That would be interesting day in the garage.

when I first got my Venture a friend of mine told me about this setup... unfortunately, the only thing I can find now is a Magnasport Supercharger which appears to fit the bill of a single carb setup, but is quite a bit more overkill than that one on e-bay. and at $3500, it's quite a bit more expensive to boot.
