Would this work? Dellorto 48 on ebay

[MrHanky]

Hi,
 
Looking into carbs for my EGI and came across this
 
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Dellorto-DHLA-48-carburettor-Inlet-K-N-race-rally-mini-/220700840399?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3362cb91cf
 
Assuming I picked up a suitable manifold from MRP, would this work?  
 
Thanks

many moon ago, got the carb oot of sunbream rally car, few jetting changed and a wee modfiy to the alt pump with a home made gasket oot of cornflake\'s hardpaper.
removed the 6p valves from the lower maniford and it\'s reqiured a upper manifold frae Racing Beat.
the power\'s  approx 180-200hp with straight through exhaust.
good power on the cheap..

as long if your\'s engine got standard distrisbor(sp) or get one oot of FB\'s

[Skifledanabit]

all the EGi engines are the same aren\'t they? Could be a good cheap buy, go for it, I may go for something like that soon... anyone want to do a write up on how they did it and what exactly is needed?

Im hoping this won\'t be too hard to install setup, but hopefully will get a bit of help from my mechanic friend.  Just working out how much I can afford to bid on this, and think I will go for it
 
Thanks

same engine but different electrnioc(sp) and done it aboot 18 years ago... before your time...LoL when the petrol was cheap

Now bidding on this
 
Just on the RB site looking at the upper manifold and was just wondering why the difference between the Dellorto and Weber upper manifolds?

Weber
http://www.racingbeat.com/RX7-1986-1992/Weber-Intake/16493.html
 

 
 
Both are for the 13b 6 port.  Is the Dellorto picture a different Manifold?

no, both are not for 6p
upper manifold for the delly and lower manifold for weber IDA(4p)

you can use weber DCOE for upper manifold and it\'s just the same as delly\'s PCD

keep your 6p lower manifold, just buy upper only.
if you got lots of money, buy both manifold........
want a 4p, get one oot of turboII\'s end plates and needing both manifolds for delly or  lower manifold for weber 48 IDA.
Understand?

[MrHanky]

Thanks for your help Mr Rotorheid
 
The car I will use this on currently has a custom manifold and exhaust.  Will this need to be customised further to fit this?  I do also have the stock EGI manifold on my other EGI which is slowly being taken apart, so could use that if needs be.
 
Assuming I could use the Dellorto with my custom one, then I just go for this?  I hope I am understanding this correctly.
 
Thanks again

cannot see why not to do further custom work to fit.
use steel exhaust pipe and get it bent to 90 degree, measured the length,cut it and weld on to the  steel flanges.
remember, beware of the bonnet clearance.

Thanks again. Just need to win the carb now.

is the carb your bidding on downdraught of sidedraught as that may dictate which style of manifold you end up going for

I believe its a side draft.  I think the RB one for the dellorto will be fine with this.
 
Thanks

sidedraft man, "SIDEDRIFT"......................LoL

FYI, good for turbo,it\'s the same make of carb that  lotus used for it sprint turbo model..just a wee modify to the carb to sealed the pressure from the turbo.
