ZC Carby conversion? Info Plz*

[Kawasaki]

I Remember someone saying something about the yanks doing zc swaps and changing them from efi to carby... now i have tried to search this but I have come up blank so any help/links would be greatly welcomed.

check out www.d-series.org . . . there is a ZC recently , with dual carb'd and custom header putting 130hp to the wheels with 0 other mods. So far looks good :)


BTW , AFAIK , backwards converting a EFI engine to a carbied injection is illegal ?!?
Would possibly be better suite to track tho.
Carbs are a bitch to tune lol.

ahh yes i forgot about being legal :D, carby would be alot cheaper than changing to efi

Cheers

hmm... but i wouldnt take that 130hp at the wheels to seriously. yanks churn out some really overinflated dyno figures. the honda tuning books that come out of the states are a good example - D15's with just a pod putting 100hp atw. i dont think they even make that much at the fly!
but back to topic - any advantages from a carby conversion would be far outweighed by its disadvantages and it would not be worth the cost. EFI just allows far easier tuning
