Hello
What do you think about the fitting of Yamaha R1 YZF carbs on XFlow Kent engine with inlet manifold from Boggs Brothers ?

is there enough space between the engine and the bonnet ?

Thanks

Hello
my caterham consumes a lot of petrol (12 litres per 100 km on road ; during track days: 1 litre per lap on the bugatti track !)

I think carbus R1 is a more recent than the Weber and are more efficient (less consumption, control the flow of air), more powerfull.
it seems that this fitting is possible on a few cars (Mini, Aston, Lotus Elan etc.)
