I am thinking about retireing my 86 civic to the track and was wondering if anyone had info on doing a quad carb setup on one of these, or maybe a twin two barrel setup

Also will putting a headder on the stock motor lean it out too much?

 

http://www.redpepperracing.com for ansers on that. (above and beond just yes)

 

ive got a used Chikara header for it...
$50 + shipping

 

HEY! that's my car!

 

like mine?

 

The only quad carb setups I've seen on these are people who have used motorcycle carbs fitted to modified intake manifolds. There are no off-the-shelf parts to do this with, but apparently it isn't too hard to chop the stock manifold and make it work. A few people on redpepper have done it.

The "hot" (read, expensive but more straightforward) setup is twin Weber sidedraft DCOE's. TWM used to make such a manifold but I believe it is out of production now. You can still find them used on ebay/redpepper classifieds/etc but there were probably other manufactures who made them as well.

Is your car carbed or is it a fuel injected Si? And header won't lean out a carbed engine, but *might* lean out an FI engine just a little bit. If your engine is otherwise stock then it shouldn't make enough difference to notice.

what motor is that? do you have any thread links to post for me with info for it it would be greatly appriciated

 

that looks like an older prelude motor? and those are def. motorcycle carbs, old mikunis prob.

 

ZC brown top

 

not a ZC brown top, its a 86-87 USDM d16a1 out of a G1 Integra. ZC Brown top VC has HONDA in big letters.

 

no biggie. i don't mind you using the pic..

 

So,.. i can use a gen 1 integra motor to get the dohc setup but what about
mounts,
driveshafts,
and i still dont know the setup that works best

post links!!!

 

buy a gen one integera doner car. you need the motor, mounts, transmission, axles, knuckles, brake rotors and discs..

or you can use 92+dx/cx brake calipers and discs.. (easier to find pads and generally a better setup due to the piston being the same size as stock Si brakes, unlike the larger teg piston.)

 

Thats simple for me cuz im in with a couple salvage yards i can just take what i need ...

what about shifter linkage?

 

i'm not sure. i've got a b16a in my car, so i don't have that problem. hehehee.

i believe that you use the teg ones. not 100% sure.check out redpepperracing.com for more answers..

 

ok thanx man and i shouldn't put a headder on it as it is... ive gotten mixed answers

 

Will a headder with stock exhaust lean the carb out too much?

ive heard yes and no
