Hi Guys
I'm new to the forum.
I'm building a JC Midge which is essentially rebodying a 413 to look like a pre-war roadster.
I already have a single SU fitted but wanted to know if it's possible to fit twin SU's.
If so how?

Re: Twin SU
Again, why fit twin SU? If you are using the original 1.3 motor best will in the world it's never gonna be quick.
Upgrades could be a G16 16v vitara motor or the twin cam 1300 from an old Swift GTi

Re: Twin SU
If you want a multiple carb set up it's easier to go quad bike carbs. You can actually get a really big increase in power that way.
There was a big discussion on the possibility of a twin SU set up on here years ago but it was deemed too much hassle as it would need a complicated custom inlet manifold.

Re: Twin SU
Webcon do produce a twin Weber dcoe inlet manifold, it's not cheap but is very pretty!

Re: Twin SU
I'd love to see a G16 bottom end, G13b twin cam top end, mated to bike carbs or bike throttle bodies. That'd be pretty awesome.

Re: Twin SU
I had a JC midge, sold it on eBay years ago. Didn't know it was anything to do with an sj.
