stingray

wish the RB26's weren't so expensive. i'd like to get that or a JDM S15 SR20DET along w/ the 6sp. that'd be sweet.

doesn't have the choke on AFAIK. the lever is there but i don't think it's working. there's no change in RPM if i have it in either position. i've never seen gas dripping from the carbs either. maybe it matters, maybe not, but would very dirty air filters contribute to this problem? i don't know when the 3x carbs were installed so can't say how long it's been run in the current config but they do look pretty dirty. i wouldn't doubt that they're still original.

how would you tune 3x mikuni carbs? it's a 280 block in a 73 w/ a 4sp if that makes any diff. seems to sputter @ anything over 4k RPM. maybe cause the flatspot is around 3-4k from all the freeway mi. is there anything that can be done short of dyno tuning? under WOT from dead stop, it sputters till 2.5-4.5k range and does it till limit. w/ less of a lead foot it's not as bad but still does it in higher RPM's. seems to run very rich cause it smells like fuel inside the car. also the black carbon speckles in the driveway can't be a good thing. my uncle had this car in storage for a few yrs. till i picked it up 2-3yrs ago to make it my daily commuter. i think i'm getting maybe 10MPG which i think can't be right considering i'm not driving it too hard (though i know the 4sp is hurting mileage on the freeway)
