I have a build log set-up on D-series but figured you guys would appreciate it to right? lol

Just a quick over view, i bought this in Aug last year and have loved it ever since. Its a GTS-R5, done quite a bit of work to it but still have plenty to do. So with that, PICS

First day i got it, Got it for 2k with a bad throwout bearing.



Ordered the bearings the same day and a week later trans out and replaced.


Cleaned and put it back in


A week after that, i realized the front end was very soft. Well it turns it was on tokico blues with cut oem spring. So it blew the front shocks, bought replacement front shocks and some springs



Battery tray was pretty rusted, so battery was moved to the back


Not where the battery sits now, but just a picture in the back


Also being a 20+ year old car i got to replacing all the bushings with this.


So it stayed like that for a while, till i came upon the almighty Carbed thread on the old Club4ag. I seen that and knew thats what i wanted. So i started doing my research, and tried to accomplish it as cheap as possible.

Ordered fuel line and fitings


Some carbs


Made my own flange


Had this fuel pump lying around


Welded up intake (its different now)


Then got to work. Dropped the tank, pulled all the lines, mounted everything up.




Quick FPR mount


New set-up for the tank


This is how it sits today


I just sold my civic yesterday so i have some more money to play with. So i just put in an order for a megajolt set-up, cant wait to get that on there

Where did you purchase this kit from?

real nice build! keep it coming!

Thought about using some bellmouth stacks on the end of the carbs? Will really smooth the airflow going in, definitely helps with making power.

^Those are very high on the list of things to get. Probably once i have this converted to an EDIS system

Just got two pretty package at my door this morning



Going to a junk yard this friday to source the rest of the edis parts

Edis set-up it done, wiring is a mess. Getting it cleaned up next week
Edis bolted to where the coil used to be


Pulley and VR sensor


Coil Pack Mount


Good By Distributor


Little Video of it running

Thanks! And it drive kinda like a normal non-tvis blue port. 3500rpm and under it is a pig, but once i open it up at 4k it starts screaming

O ya heat, hammer, and welder. Having the joy of using your own creation

Started looming all the wires up, still have a little more to do but ran out of loom.

Howed you get the trans so clean looking? I have mine out right now and its taking me forever

Superclean, scotchpad, and a pressure washer

Sooo this stuff came in earlier this week




Today this happened



Tomorrow the head, bock, pistons, and rods are being sent to a machine shop. And i just put in an order for some ARP head studs and rod bolts. This coming week is going to be exciting.

I've always thought that carbs needed to be horizontal/leveled to the ground. I guess it doesn't?

glw the build

90% of the time you would be right lol. These are downdraft carbs, you look at the floatbowls when you are holding the carbs straight up and down. The bowls are about 30 deg away from being flat. On a bike they can be mounted normally because the engine is already slanted at 30 deg.

This stuff came in

Cleaned and painted many things
Crossmember


Oil pan


Engine Plate


Mounts and other brackets

Installed the ARP rod bolts and assembled


Checking to make sure nothing binds


And Bottom end finally assembled and painted


I have new valve springs coming in and they should be here tomorrow. So hopefully i should be at 86fest

I've seen other instances with these carbs mounted slanted so I've wondered why, but thank you so much for clarifying it with me!

Please keep us updated with the build, thanks!

Springs are here



And In


Head installed




Motor is in


Getting ready to start, will be started tonight

Awesome Enjoying watching this motor come together.

Thanks, there is plenty more to come.

All finally assembled


Work i did in the letter for the valve covers



Even did some work on the oil cap


I got it started in the garage, found a couple coolant leaks on the block and had a vacuum leak with one of my injector plugs. Fixed those things and the car idled beautifully. I let it idle up to temperature, shut it off, richened up the idle screw and the needle jet and then took it for a spin.

Going down the street i have my eye on the temp gauge and it was reading a little hotter than normal, which was to be expected with higher compression and thinner cylinder walls. But soon after it kept on climbing, i immediately shut the car off and popped the hood. Turned out my radiator developed multiple hairline cracks that didn't show in the garage. So i let it cool down and got it home safely.

I already bought a new radiator, a bigger one at that, and i have a dual fan set-up in the garage. So that will be put in for better cooling, other than that mishap the car ran great. Bottom end is already better than it was before, i had to order another set of main jets, have to go a little higher than what it is now.

Are you going to run any kind of filters now? Would be a shame to kill the new engine from eating dust and road grime.

Cool carb setup! It's nice to see something unique on here!

Yea, i have been running filters. Just a little filter sheet i cut up and zip tied on there. I always ran filters, specially around my town, we have mostly horse trails instead of sidwalks and it gets very dusty. I finally found some cheap little pod filters, those are on there now.

Thanks!!

Cool set up. What bike did you get those carbs off of?

What size pipe did you use for your manifold? im assuming it was bent to shape in a vice/press?

Just curious if you had any more detailed pictures of your fuel lines in the engine bay to how you connected them to the carb setup?

Those carbs are off a 2000 Yamaha R1

The pipe is 2" outer diameter and 1.75" inner diameter
