motor bike carbs

hey i have just finished making up my manifold to fit my motorbike carbs!!!! its looking sweet and cant wait!!!!

 i was just hopin if sum1 can help me???? on the gti engine you have holes for the injectors!! i was wondering if there is any type of blanking hole or will i have to make one based off the injector size??????

i hope to here from you!!

ive heard all sorts even someone on here mentioning 1p's and ??welding them in?? of some sort or chemica metal them in, why dont you just leave the injectors in as these would plug the holes up,
also i would strongly advise you make a bracket up that holds the bike carbs to then engine, (not to the bulk head) as everytime i bootd it in mine the throotle cable pulld on the carbs slightly and after a hundred miles if that the carbs kept poping out of the silcone hoses.

just a bit of advice mate as this used to annoy me, and also the silicone hoses (if you are using this method) must be completly air tight and resistanced to fuel

didnt wont to leave injectors in because will block the flow!!
i was going to mount a support on rubber washers to the heater matrix holes because i have removed my bulkhead to help fit in the carbs in tidy'r

also wot types of fuel pump did you use???? isnt the gti pump to high pressure for the carbs.

It is yes - You need a high flow/low pressure pump, like a Facet "Red Top" and a pressure regulator that you would use with weber carbs. Not cheap though…

Other alternative is to use a pump of a bike too. Would be better suited to supply the carbs, though may struggle to pull/push fuel all the way from the back to the front of the car.  :dontknow:
