R30 L24 power options

[chris MR30]

I have an MR30 sedan with an L24 6 cyl in it. I already have extractors and a 2.5 inch exhaust, and was just wondering if there are any noticable improvements to be had in the induction side and or head? I have a picture from a japanese site showing what seems to be an L24 runing individual throttle bodies for each cylinder, my cousine has done this to his integra and said he can build a set for me, but what i really want to know is whether the L24 will respond to these sorts of mods or should i toss it for somthing else? (taking into account that i will not be paying for the throttle bodies to be fabricated)

they look like motorbike style slide throttle carbs in the pic. Triple sidedraughts would be a cheaper option, but probably not legal on a factory EFI car. I would leave the multiple throttle bodies for last on the list - by themselves they won't make much difference on an otherwise standard engine. The L24 would respond well to a camshaft and sensible porting - there are some areas that can really use some attention on these heads.

Thanks. I figured porting might help but on some engines its all but pointless. As for carbies i used to own a twin webered datsun that was nothing but a nightmare to tune

They dont look at all like SU's or CD strombergs, but, like harry said, they could well be motorbike carbs.

How about some big pistons and an LD28 crank

bah, webers are easy, i found SU's and CD's to be more difficult to keep a good tune with.

SU's a bigger problem than CD's, at least with the CD's there was a diaphram to help keep some continuity.

The biggest problem I had with SU's was the right consistency of fluid in the dash pots.

But with either, a balancing tool was a must.

Spoons

The vacuum operated (or it it positive pressure...) tool is even better though, just adjust each till they push the ball bearing the same distance up the tube (must be positive pressure...)

Bigger problem is the bloody shafts wearing out and jamming up with grit and crap
