Carburettors, Inlet Manifold, Ram Pipes, Linkages and K & N Filters

Not all Twin Carburettor kits will fit every single Vehicle. Kit Cars in Particular need the correct inlet manifold and Carb set up to ensure correct installation. Inlet Manifold manufactured by different companies varies in length and angle.

This wide-bodied Westfield can be fitted with all types of engines. The OHC engine with twin carburettors on our short inlet manifold can retain the carburettors within the bonnet. However you must have the correct ram pipes and filters. This also applies to the ROBIN HOOD Car. However whenever possible it is advisable to have the carburettors protruding through the bonnet into fresh air. Fresh air will be much denser and therefore produce a much better running engine. We will be happy to advise on all these issues and of course all the other type of Kit Cars.

Golden Rules for Carburettors and Ram Pipes

• Carburettors must not be over tightened on the inlet manifold. This causes frothing.
• The end of the ram pipes must have at least 30mm clearance before any obstruction, either from the vehicle or the air filter.
• For instance twin 40dcoes fitted with the standard ram pipes [38mm in length] must be fitted with air filters with an overall depth of at least 68mm, i.e. K & N filter No 56.9265.
