re bike carbs, usually in a block of 4...can you break them down into say 3 & mount the like a down draught?

I may have a cunning plan! As getting hold of a triple webber manifold is pretty much out of the question as for costs involved...

Also looking at putting on an electric fuel pump & bining the mechaical pump, what is the best pressure to set the pressure regulator up too?

bike carbs have to be mounted at the same angle they were on the bike... because of the fuel bowls, stick them level then just dont work and pour fuel every where...

deffinatly easier to make or have a manifold made than try to split the carbs..

I thought that, but having looked on Bogg Bros web site, they have them mounted in all kinds of ways

Sure they aren't throttle bodies?

I've got bike carbs on my Corrado (not VR6 sorry) so have done some research and there is also a PPC article from 06 that explains that yes you can split them and yes you can use them as downdraughts.

Good mod. Go for it. Plus its pretty cheap to do.
