<div class="moz-cite-prefix">SU sizing. All side draft SU's start
with the premise of a 1" throat. Then the larger sizes are given
in 1/8" increments above the 1" throat. So an original Bugeye
Sprite for example, used 1 1/8" carbs or "H1", TR3 used 1 3/4" or
"H6". Ted<br>

<div>With 1 1/2s carburettors, I suppose you mean HS4? The SU
logic is a little weird. 1" + 1/2" = 6/8" so you would think
it are HS6s, but when talking about HS carburettors, 1 + 1/2 =
1 + 4/8 and they took the 4 to name these carbs HS4...</div>

<div>-"...hitting a wall at that point..." : is it
possible this is rather pointing to the camshaft
than to the SU's? If it are the carburettors,
maybe the power would decrease more gradually
above 6500 rpm.</div>
<div>-In general one choke per cylinder is better,
and 2 Webers 40 DCOE isn't overkill I think</div>
<div>- what about trying HS6 SU's on your actual
manifold?</div>
<div>At what maximum rpm is your engine still
reliable?</div>

<div>I'm looking into switching out my twin
HS4s on the 1296 race engine to either Weber
or Mukinis. I know this has been done for
years and I'd like to get close the best set

<div>I don't think the SUs are up to the task
of moving enough air with the new ported
head and Stahl header. I've worked on the
SUs and gotten them to finally deliver a
good AFR , 12.6, at 6500 RPM under load but
I seem to hit a wall (figuratively) at that
point. I suspect that the openings just
aren't big enough to deliver the mass of air
required. (spreadsheet or other flow
calculator link appreciated)<br clear="none">

<div>Biggest gate I suspect is the intake
valve, 1 3/8" head (~35mm) HS4 is ~38mm at
best.<br clear="none">
