small shot of NX with a 3 duece on SBC ??

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by turboroadster, Jul 27, 2009.

  1. I'm not new to nx toys, but am to tri set ups. I was curious, heres the specs persay...SBC, edelbrock intake and carbs have progessive linkage and I'd be using a "wet" kit.
    question is:
    do I have to hit all the carbs with plates or can I just squirt the center carb?
    I figure it runs perfect with the center carb and then dumps the outer 2 carbs at WOT, that equals decent fuel distribution to all cylinders from the center at cruising and normal driving, so was wondering ....
    if you think it will be ok for proper distribution from the center only?

    yeah, yeah, I know....NX is the devil.

    I'd say distribution would be awful.....probably end up with a broken crank due to the harmonics.

    Fogger on the underside would be my vote.
     
  3. yeah, wasnt sure, it distributes fuel to all cylinders from the center during normal driving, so that got me to wondering.
    hidden underneath to all cylinders would be cooler indeed:D
    pretty easy to install a plate though if it would work, I guess one could do all 3, but it would look aweful with all the hoses etc, prolly still be able to use one set of selenoids, but still 2 hoses to each plate times 3 would look like ***.

    Yeah, just triple plate that *****. That should be fun till the parts fly. I'd probably put some cheap air cleaners on it though, that way when it blows them off you won't be out so much money.

    Keep us posted.
     
  5. ^^ hahahahahaha. nah, wont do it, just was thinking :) I'd rather keep the edmunds filters on and the crankshaft where it belongs....reckon I'll leave it alone

    Spacers drilled for foggers is one of the best options. The best being direct port into the intake. I borrowed a pic of Littleman's truck as an example.

    I gotta hand it to Littleman. That is a crazy looking setup!

    Dunno if you could setup Direct Port injection for a Tripower setup, depends how high it rides I suppose.

    On a 3x2 to keep it clean the ideal route for direct port would be from underneath. You're getting involved at that point so if this isn't intended for serious race use there wouldn't be any advantage over drilled spacers.
