H6 running carby

[G Trash]

hi im new on here this is my first post actually. iv recently added a Lancaster 6 the my fleet of subys an just a random idea. im thinkin of building a custom intake for the h6 an using anything up to an including a 650 holley... ill build a custom set of flows an a full exhaust also run a link setup for ignition ( or something better if any knows of a unit that would maybe plug up to my sensors an coilpacks) I already have hks adjustables an 18in mags for it an would also do some head work...any ideas suggestions help would be awesome thanks

ITBs and definately convert to manual

[G Trash]

yes definite switch to manual should hav stated that. I thort about ITBS but theres a bit more in the setup. a high flow single carb to keep it as simple as possible im just wanting to be different I guess....I have a bg5 gt 5spd in good nick an was told its gonna fit?? also have the same box rwd just a welded c/d

[pl0x]

It will fit, just need to make sure the ratio is the same as the rear diff

i know im going to sound like a hater, but im against all of this, good luck to you for doing it but i think this is a pipe dream

[G Trash]

its just an idea. I will change this car from its currnt from just putting ideas on the table. I love the 6cyl engine I just wanna hear it rev freely

+1 but I figure encourage it and could see a cool project or buy the spoils

[DacerX]

im going to step away from this thread and see what happens

wont fit under the hood

the more wonts an donts the more I want to do this.....

there is quite a few in jet boats and they love putting carbies and dizzies on oem efi motors . havent seen a ez30 with a carb just yet but dont see why it cant be done

[Jesus]

Nothing wrong with this idea. I have one in the pipeline involving a 1st gen EZ30 and twin carbs.

Having already done a carb swap on an EJ22, i can say the results were bloody excellent and produced a much more RAW exciting motor than i wouldve got converting the body to EFI. When an EJ22 sounds this good weberised, my loins fizz at the notion of the noise an EZ would produce

Oh this bit needs correcting tho. It just wont....ever. The heads are s***. As we can see in this nice graphic showing the difference between phase one heads and later AVCS style heads. No matter what you do, that early motor isnt going to enjoy revving.

Not many people on this forum can say they have run both motors without a rev limit set just to see what happens. At 7200 I got bored and changed gear with the first motor, It wasnt making any power at that RPM anyways. So far ive managed 8500 on this one and only shifted for fear of my alternator escaping through the bonnet.

I don\'t see your reasoning, the cold start and idle quality of an efi vehicle not to mention the efficiency is just great.

I know you think it\'d be cool but I think itb\'s would be cooler and a turbo would be cooler again

[Jesus]

If its going in a Lancaster, then yeah its fucking stupid. Especially if you\'re going to the hassle of putting a Link in to control ignition.

But if its going in something else, i can support the idea.

[Joker]

[G Trash]

This is like stancing a car out. It fundamentally makes it worse, in exchange for an improvement in aesthetics...

[Jesus]

And look how popular that s*** is.

Seriously, make up some spacers to fit the fuel rails, convert to an EZ30R intake manifold then put some cams in it if your feeling brave.

Would be quite interesting I think and relatively easy to do. It also wouldn\'t look like a rangi piece of shit sitting out of place in an Outback/Lancaster

no this is not stance.. I smash gravel on lowpro 18s not guards.
