In draw through you can run what ever you want. Just need to size it correctly and play with the jets.

The limitation will be what carb you can get cheap and what adapters you can find/bodge together for cheap.

A single side draught weber will work, ditto dellortos or any other side draught type carb.

I think the old Werritt special sigma turbos ran a single 1.5SU. Those kits pop up occasionally for cheap.

I've seen holleys used but it's ugly as the carb is designed to sit flat so you need this 90 degree bend/adapter thing. Plus the holley premium...

I reckon it'd be cheaper trying to find an old analogue microtech fuel only comp (ah the memories) and run the original injectors.

Emanage blue running 2 1000cc injectors? Cheap as chips. :)

This ..

probably wouldnt cost much more than a webber would anyway

This,

wouldnt work, as i'd need a factory ECU to run the Emanage off

Lol yeah Matty, toying with some ideas

Had a quick flick through, but has anyone suggested "boxing" the carby?

For terms of simplicity and dirt cheap cost, you could run a smallish single injector that comes on with boost, rigged up to the distributor for switching/duration to match the engine speed, but obviously will require a high pressure pump and some electronics....

Not room to box the carb, and doing that still never works quite right, because the Carb then has no laminar airflow running through the ventruies, as its basically just stagnant air.

Also doesnt solve the issue of the boost pressure forcing fuel back through the metering blocks and into the bowls.

      Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
