Does anyone get TOR? I saw an interesting advert in this months issue one that I can't help but share!

I love my weber so doubling it can only be a bonus! Argh I'm so excited I think I just wee'd a little bit!

As well as the inlet manifold for double twin choke webers Scottie green gets his comment published on page 26 talking about 'what if landies were foreign?'

I was just talking to someone about this the other day. "Imagine dropping an engine with a pair of Weber twin 40s and a stright through exhaust into an SJ. It'd be a beast in a straight line."

I've seen these before on ebay in the US but not for sale in the UK until today
Bet it will go like stink, but its a bet of a pricey conversion as you have to get 2 carbs still!
and those webber 40s aren't cheap!

Imagine it though! A Rowfant body on a samurai chassis with the ARB still on and small lowering spacers, your 16 valve G16 carb'd engine with a pair of T40s and a powerflow custom exhaust.
I think I need clean underwear.
It'd probably end up being a £5000 build but MY GOD would it be worth it! You'd turn heads everywhere you went, especially when you left boy racers behind at traffic lights in a cloud of tyre smoke.

Ace, I'm famous
Yeah like Twiss I have seen those before in the Us, if it's anything like fitting bike carbs to an Sj engine you'll actually not be far off doubling the bhp, wonder what they'd be like offroad?

There is an article on the twin 40 setup here:

Must be at least 10 years old. The drawback seems to be that the filters won't fit on a RHD vehicle.

If I'm putting double twin chokes on I'm not going to bother with filters - bell mouths or nothing !
joke
It does look really awesome, I don't know if I could justify it for my SJ though, I'd want a standard looking SJ with 1.6 8v with this inlet+ carbs, a kent cam & custom exhaust, I'm not into anything much more technical than that...... I'd want it to be in a minter though, like that one on eBay now

In that case you'd just run different filters.
