I'm looking to build another dune buggy and i was going to use my spare A6 block and do a small turbo on it but i found a relatively cheap K24 and i thought that would be a fantastic power plant for the buggy. Just looking for some info, seeing if anyone has done it before. Any info would be greatly appreciated. And yes i did search... on multiple sites for the last 2 hours with no results. Thanks Jay

 

I think someone was working on a setup for side drafts.

Not sure who off hand.

 

That would be some excellent info. I really don't want to do EFI for my buggy build, too much cost and hassle involved, carbs seem to be a nice cost effective alternative. Just gotta find some info, i've been searching my *** off with no luck.

 

Maybe adapt some motorcycle carbs? You would probably need way bigger jets, but having individual carbs per cylinder would be pretty sweet.

 

I know one person that has tried it. But i dont really know what specific parts were used and all that. Just know its been done already.

 

Is this person on the site to where i could ask him a few questions? I need to pick someone's brain that's done it before. It's not the carb part i'm worried about it's the spark and all that ****. Curious how to get all that to work without an ecu.

 

no not on this site.

 

Belt-drive a distributor + MSD box.

I do know of one guy (I think he's on here sometimes) who's belt driving a magneto on a K. I do not have permission to share pics though.

 

idk if it was scott kelly but i thought it was some VW guy.
k series in a CRX with sidedrafts. he's got a site too but i cant remember it off hand.

 

Maybe talk to Bisi about this?

 

I really dont know if it was a carb setup, its been awhile. Jack Sachette had a K all motor in his CRX. I believe he was on carbs in that car, but I'm not 100% sure.

 

Hmm maybe this idea isn't going to be as simple as i thought it would. Sucks when no one wants to share info.

 

the problem i see with carbs and this application is dialing in the fuel mixture, your going to have so many different fueling parameters, vtec, no vtec, the variable cam timing, i think getting the carbs dialed in for all those coniditions would prove to be impossible, now if its just for good WOT performance they would be ok, i just see alot of drive ability issues coming up

 

I probably wouldn't use VTEC with the carb setup, i already thought of that and your right it would be an incredible ***** trying to get that right, actually think it would be close to impossible. I might just have to stick with my boosted A6 option since i already have everything i need. Just wanted to try something different.
