The aftermath. At least the kids liked it!
This was the 85 GSL that had 84 GSL-SE running gear.

I love the small racingbeat decal, cause they are a great company since a long time testet their parts.

Re: new member
It's a fix
Burnouts are soooooooo easy on a bike; two fingers for the clutch, two for the throttle, two for the brake. Even Stephen Hawking could manage it
You were robbed! And who's paying for the tyres, lol

Re: new member
That number is probably correct. That is without doing a few tricks. On a friend's '83 12A with RB header and free intake and ignition work, it ran a 15.9 in the 1/4 mile.spirit r wrote:Corrected me if i fault: 12A Engine+ Racingbeat exhaust = 136RWPSARXFB wrote: This was the 85 GSL that had 84 GSL-SE running gear.

The car, 85 GSL, that did the burnout had a 13B transplant. It eventually ran a 13.96 1/4 mile with a stock S4 (86-88) 13B. The 207,000 mile 84 GSL-SE ran a 14.38. (I accidentally overrevved it ONCE, otherwise it would probably still be running the stock engine)The huge gains are the RB "street port" exhaust and the ignition. Running the leading plugs direct fire/wasted spark through a CD box is amazing. Ignition timing gives the rest of the free power.
On my 13B's I ran 26°L/16°T as suggested by Paul Yaw. However, after spending hundreds of dollars testing spark plugs, the standard NGK BR9EQ-14 worked best for a real street, drag strip and autocross car.
I might have to post videos.

Do you know some link from yaw about highly moded nikki feeding for example an full bridgy 12A with crossports up to 10000 U/min. Only read something about Sterling and oneiros nikki mods.

Re: new member
I remember reading it a long time ago. I have owned two highly modified Nikki's from Tri-Point Engineering. Compared to the stock carb they were great. However, changing to an (any) aftermarket carb produced more power. The modified Nikki's were mainly for race classes that required keeping the stock carb. The mods are expensive if you pay to have them done.spirit r wrote: Do you know some link from yaw about highly moded nikki feeding for example an full bridgy 12A with crossports up to 10000 U/min.

The RB Dellorto 48dhla was far superior to the Nikki. It's a fantastic carb for the street but the power limit I found was around 200hp, beyond that the Holley did well.
