Nah!-you want triple down-draughts :wack:

triple down-draughts?? what are they? :confused:

If they were better then why do all cars run EFi now? ;)

 

they might be better if you like your car to be unreliable, high maintenance, difficult to set up and smell of petrol.

yea there better at failing emisions,increasing flat spots,decreasing mpg figures,increasing service intervals,washing bores with neat petrol,increasing a chance of a engine fire throu "blowback" so i suppose he,s right they are better at a lot of things :(

thats what i thought! so why do people think they're so good? makes no sense to me.

more likely my brother talks ****!!

Big ones sound pretty good, thats about it.

 

Not as good as an EFi with open individual throttle bodies though.

which is what the 300 has i would guess.

incorrect, zed has 2 throttles, feeding an intake collector which nissan R&D spent a lot of time and money on designing for optimum performance. They ended up with the long 19" runners which you see filling every last inch of engine bay :p
