Carbs, possibly to EFI
Hi, this is my first post on ths forum so please be nice 
You will probably tell me to do one, but here goes
I have a set off cbr600 carbs fitted to my 1.0 micra k10, great fun, gave it a real kick up the backside,
These carbs are fitted to the engine with a manifold made by bogg bros, my question is, if I were to convert to fuel injection, would the EFI throttle bodies from the later bikes fit my manifold. Are the outlet diameter the same size? are they spaced the same as the carbs
Any help greatly appreciated

generally, ya, they're pretty much spaced apart the same within reason so long as the years aren't too far apart. however, you need to be concerned with the OD of the TBs where they go to the boots. that is not always the same.
so as far as your question, the only real way to know is if you were to experiment. im sure you could either buy some off ebay or buy a set of TBs from a junkyard. i would try to find TBs that are the same size as your carbs. (if they're 36mm carbs, then you'd want to find a set off of a bike that used 36mm TBs). f4i TBs would probably be your best bet i would assume, but i don't know. i've never worked with either of them.
then how would you go about going EFI? mega squirt? how are you going to adapt all the sensors?

Hi, thanks for reply, I've asked questions before on bike forums to help with the build of my car and got banned straight away so appreciate it!
As it stands, this is just a thought, haven't taken it any further yet as wanted to know if they would fit, as I dont really wanna fork out on another custom manifold. Would probably go down the mega squirt route too.
The reason for asking about the TB's, is I'm actually building a blow through turbo set up with the cbr600 carbs, injection was gunna be a back up if I can't get this to run right
As I understand, turboing these carbs is quite a tricky affair......but hey, learn while doing ay!
Sorry if this goes off topic now. But does anyone have any links to blow thru turbo projects they have completed wit there bikes (instead of cluttering up your bike forum with car stuff )
