I was planning on swapping in a FE3 from a KIA into my Ford ZX2 project (http://www.wihandyman.com/forum/show...ild&highlight=). However, I just acquired a '89 Nissan Sentra, and the lure of swapping in a SR20DET is too much for me (this engine is very popular around my area). So with one high HP money-pit in the works, I gotta rethink my plans for the ZX2. The car (well, shell of a car) is actually currently for sale. But if it doesn't sell, I has a idea I might carry out.
I always wanted a high-revving, very responsive car (It had initially been my intent when I got the ZX2, but the Zetec engine just doesn't perform so well in N/A form). I still plan to stick with the FE3, but in a mild build N/A form.
Now heres where things get tricky. I know in order to tune a EFI engine, I will need some sort of tuning software and hardware, maybe even a expensive and complected standalone. Thats just not a option for me. So I came back to something that I heavily researched for my old Corolla, and something that my dad has ALOT of experience in, and thats carburetors. More superficially, Yamaha R1 carbs. These carbs are alot more advance then the old Webers and have a tone of support. I know alot of people frown upon carbs on modern engines, but these carbs has been used to great success on a number of engines and made great numbers.
Making a manifold is not a issue, spark is. I've read that a E5 dizzy can be used in the FE3 to go carb. Is this true?
