Sick of Nikki carb. It wont let the car idle or rev. So the question is turbo or twins

Have decided to first get the motor running with the holly carb I have to make sure motor is good before adding turbo. Also have my eye on a j15 motor which might be better suited to the turbo

Finally a break through. Having lost all motivation then going away for 5weeks, I dragged my self out to the garage, and took a serious look at the motor. Found out the idle screw was wound right out, the fuel right out and the wound firing order. So after 2 hours of sorting it finally runs. Still need to work on dwell / timing but its a start. Now I can finish cleaning/bleeding the brakes and sort the sill out. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10152492567536295" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Its a start, the goal is to have it running and wof'd by x'mas. I need the garage space for a new business venture.

Sweet. Did a mock up of the sill today, to make sure our folders at work can do it. Looks like I'm going to have to do it in 2 bits. Hopefully will get the actual one made tomorrow. Will post photos of finished parts
