Hi ive got a 1.6 x16xe which im going to be putting in my mini. I want to run it on either bike carbs or throttle bodies so I can ditch the standard restrictive injection system. Which bike carbs do I need and how do I go about an inlet manifold. or if I was to go throttle bodies where do I get them? can I take them from a bike? again what do I do with inlet manifold?

Thanks David

Jenvey do throttle bodies for the x16xe, SBD Motorsport do an inlet manifold and ECU etc.

Hopefully you have found your answers now, but...

 

For throttle bodies, I'm using CBR929rrs as they happen to be the right size spacing for my C16XE.

 

Inlet manifolds, you could either make one up your self using the original inlet or you could contact BoggBrothers and have one made up for you.

 

You can get throttle bodies and carbs from various places such as motorbike breakers and eBay.

Hi TrialsLife do you have any pictures of yours fitted? thanks for the reply

[TrialsLife]

Not as yet, I'm waiting for BoggBrothers to make up the manifold. As soon as it is fitted I will get a picture up :)

[bluemini1979]

have you any idea on what boggbrothers charge to make up the manifold if you don't mind me asking?

Get an angled Weber DCOE inlet and fit 45mm Jenveys.  They're buff!

Can't afford new jenveys

[bluemini1979]

Or find secondhand

I took a while to find mine.....but they were a great investment.

 

That sound! <3
