got carb?

[Sgt. Pepper]

Anybody else here, besides me, who's running carbs? My '85 CRX is running a stock 1.5L EW1 with JDM carb, K&N air filter, NGK plugs and wires and is devac'd. Just wondering if I am the only member running carbs. BTW, I have no plans to swap to FI anytime in the future. As a matter of fact, I am rebuilding another 1.5L EW1 carb'd motor with hopes of producing a bunch more hp.

I am running a carb on my 82 s-10 with a v8 in it.

that would be an insane build. i'm up in the air right now if i want a carb'd 302 or just save me the troubles of efi.:o

My DD is a 89' Accord with a 2 barrel.

carbs > nothing... the DOT hated carbs so much they outlawed any car manufacturer from using them after 1987.
i had carbs on my ae86... sucked

Wrong, 1986-1989 Honda Accords had carb's. Mine is an 89' and still has a carb.

:roll:. Carbs make more wot power than efi and are much easier to tune. The downside is drivability and variance to weather. I doubt your DOT bs. If I'm not mistaken, the last carbed car in the u.s. was the subaru justy. And carbs sound better. Again: carbs ftw!!!

My carb hates weather variation.:(

i had a carb on my 2.8L 82 s-10 :) it never let me down the whole time i had it. ended up donating it though, due to heater core, rust, and all kinds of problems like that

and ofcourse i have carbs on all of my bikes (katana 750, gs550L, yz125)

hey action park- the setup you mentioned... is that a turbo drawing air from the carb, like instead of blowing through the carb? that would mean the carb is sending fuel through the whole turbo and intake pipe right? pics?

[Action Park]

Yes, that is correct. The entire mixture goes through the turbo. http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc260/bloatedseal/DSCF0357.jpg

LOL @ "JDM carb" :mrgreen: first time I'v heard that.

And carbs are increadibly easy to tune compared to a EFI system. Main jet, Secondary jet, and a squirter....that it!!! it's cake!!

Yup, JDM, CDM and USDM. Next motor will have a CDM carb and intake. Not quite sure of the differences, maybe different levels of emissions?

Here's a look at a fully decked out US carb on the left, and the stripped down 2.0 version on the right. It's almost as small as the Canadian carb now!

What car did you take those carbs from? The carb on the left is the exact same carb that is on my 89' Accord.

I borrowed that 1st pic, not sure where the carbs came from. Still looking for a canadian carb pic.

My bike is carb'd. Terrible throttle response FTL.

[Ender81]

Oh yeah I forgot to mention the 78 cb has carbs

[poolmike]

Dual SU's on my Minis. Always ran a Holley double pump on my Jeep when it was a gasser. Love carbs.

Those are definitely Keihin carbs.
