someone on migweb did actually get bike carbs to run on an x16xe but i dont think it was easy nor reliable
so aftermarket is the way to go with your engine

CORRECT
ive done mine and sold 2 full sets since and i also have another full set for c20xe if anyone interested u2u me

speaking from experience you will need a after market ecu anyway to get the best from them.

Budget and Carbs however?????


But if you bring inthe word "budget" and "engine tuning" your never going to get a really good gain in power.

I have been looking at fitting bike throttle Bodies to my X16XE and am looking for any advise available also I have been told I will have to change my ECU or will I be able to keep the standard one for the time being as I am doing this on a budget and the car is a daily driver
