Opinions/Knowledge on Triple SU's

[280zgod]

to my recollection there was a thread like 6 months ago on this site about 6 carbs on the z and someone who had done it and there were pictures of it on this site anyone else remember that?

If you are interrested to sell the intakes to me, please mail me so we can discuss the price and shipping arrangements. If you also have a SU carburator model HS 8, 2", I`m interrested in buying that too. My plan is to build a plenum on the intakes, I think it might work.

240Z -73 L28 Built only for roadracing. The class I`m racing only permitts one single carb./two cylinders maximum. Otherwise I should use triple Webers.

Not such a silly question considering that individual flat slide mukuni's are used on motorcycle engines with great results. I wonder if it has been done on a L series engine? But what a massive PITA to set up, just imagine the linkages....OMG :stupid:

But as Michael says, he has twin SU's now, so he'll just use them and to hell with the exercise and self emptying of wallet.

240znz, I think the multi Mukuni carb setup would likely work very well, as by theory many small ventri's are better than a few large ones, equating to better overall responce. Regarding the throttle linkage, it wouldn't be that big of a chore to build and install. Building the manifolds would be another issue, but again not that big of a chore. Would that look very cool or what? I quess the question would be....could one find Mukuni's appropreately sized for the job. Tuning and syncing the Mukuni's would be the same as on the motorcycle engines with the exception of 6 carb instead of usual 4 carbs. Is someone out there getting excited enough to take that trip? :nervous:

The best advise I can give you for overhauling the SUs is to go to Ztherapy and get the vedio on this . To adjust them go to the tec articles and pull up adjusting SUs . Gary
