bit of a tidy up for the 4nr nats

just thought i would share a pic of how the engine bay is coming along slowly a few more things i want to tidy up and do i.e polish the rocker cover

today was an accomplishment thanks to rich(snoozn) and retep180 (pete) and massive thanks you you guys!

fitted some bigger jets he had laying round and they made a big difference it runs and drives alot better, found where the squeak was being generated from also

just need to to a couple of other minor things which should sort it completely *touch wood*

ah ok will give it ago i can get my hand on a gauge i can stick on the end of each carb and adjust to suit

similar to this

i dont have vacuum points on each runner

fuel leak sorted thank god runs funny so just need balancing i think have to start on the choke so ill rig one of them up at some stage too

fuel leak fixed! runs a bit funny but didnt warm her right up will have a crack at balancing them in the new year

only bought the parts to help stop the fuel spitting out the vents as a couple of the needles were touch and go, shaneo i might hit you up for the carb balancer in the new year once i sort the over fueling issue

cheers, i have ordered new float needles etc so ill replace them for piece of mind that should rectify the over fueling problem *touch wood*

next step is to strip and clean everything

well i fitted this

even turned pressure down to 1 psi and fuel was still pissing out these 2 vents

maybe carbs need a freshen up?

Went around to alert motorsport and picked up some fittings for fuel reg. So ill chuck that on tonight and see how it goes

another question the fuel reg i have here doesn't have a fuel return line? do i need to run one of this carb setup with mechanical pump or will it be find without it? what have others done?

Good luck, carb people think bike carbs belong on bikes hahaha

haha yeah thats my thoughts to... cant really take it to either or as they will just look at me sideways

its lowered on cobra springs with custom made bilstein rear shocks and shortened front housings with monroe inserts to retain travel at ride height (im too lazy to make bilstein inserts for the front )

i know its a easy fix but at this point and time i cant be bothered im tempted to just pay someone to do it for me, if you can recommend anyone please let me know

haha everything is for sale, there has been a couple of times i have had it on trade me but people have talked me out of it but atm im contemplating selling again its only done 59,045km too

cheers man, oh yeah you will mean nigel/lofreq's accord haha

I have had the car since early - mid jan and thought i would chuck up a build thread for you all to check out

Bought the car from Turners in Hamilton bone standard deceased estate and thought it would be a good base

then ordered some springs to what i thought would be a good height not the best pic

i swiftly decided it wasn't to my liking at that height so i proceeded to lower it more and cheers to snoozin for lending me his brights racing wheels to use until mine arrived from japan. i had tried on another couple of style wheels for ideas also (sorry for bad cellphone pics)

thought i would paint the inner lights yellow to see how it looked

once again the bug bit and i lowered it a touch more ( slowly getting to the right ride height) also added a tractor flap for the lol's which now just sits on my shelf in the garage, i also installed a cd player but hid it in the glove box as i wanted to keep the interior looking as factory as possible

my wheels eventually turned up from japan and no time was wasted getting them dipped and painted (colour was chosen/mixed after a few beers and bourbons)

Rich/Snoozin invited me to the Millen ranch along with some fellow members

and parked up with its sister car in kopu on the way down

finally got my ass into gear and started sorting out my yzf r1 carb setup so now the engine bay looks like this

have a few minor issues to smooth out with the setup to get it driving properly... if i dont sell it as is

The air leak is not going to be fun to find.....

awesome thats reassuring! cheers for the reply i will get it on asap and see how it goes

Hey guys i finally got my carb setup on to my 2-Tc, im not running a low fuel pressure reg so i think its over fueling it as they are meant to run at 3psi and its spitting the fuel out the front and vent holes at the top. I have also noticed a nice little squeak noise its making which is hard to tell in this video until the end when i shut it off.

Any help would be hugely appreciated!
