Use a nova 1.4sr(14nv) distributor and coil etc.


And the carbs setting up for your engine if they haven't been done.

What size engine is it?

Any other mods?

Any reasons why you went for R1 carbs over webers/dellortos?

all that for a 1.2??? fairplay, not many people consider it worthwhile but i've always wanted to outta curiousity over the performance gains.

just outta interest, how much have you paid for the carbs?

i did a similar setup on a nova 1.4, used 1000cc suzuki bike carbs on a 1.3 ported and gasflowed head. didnt get time 2 finish it so sold them. dont forget u mte need to get the bracket to move the alternator (it mte catch the carbs)

how would you go about getting the custom manifold made up and what sort of cost does this incur?

bogg bro's/\ £170

Theres no chance you'd get 100bhp tbh.
I'd be happy with 75-80.

You still have the spi's biggest restriction, the cylinder head. Crap flowing/small ports.

just put a 1.4 bottom end on it, or even a 1.6 gte lump

the carbs are far too big for a 1.2, they use r6 carbs on 1600's!

R1 carbs on a 1600 should see around 130bhp.
