Looks interesting, but I wouldn't know where to begin with looking after it.

Shouldn't the breathy pipe on the top of the casing be connected to something?

I wouldn't expect it to make any more power than it does with fuel injection to be honest. It certainly won't have the driveability and accurate fueling through the rev range that you get with an ecu and fuel injection. I suspect he's fitted carbs as a cheap way of getting round the requirement for an ecu to run the fueling with fuel injection.

What escapes me is how people have the time and energy to create a project like this but NONE of them seem to be able to spell or create a mildly appealing advert description ffs.

Almost ALL automotive eBay ads for anything remotely unique, intriguing are like this!

Wonder how reliable 10,000rpm is.

I agree though, poor selling method. Hardly any information on the car either.

Not very unless the valve springs / retainers etc are uprated!

I sent :
10,000 rpm? Is that safe?!

The stock engine has the rev limit at 9,200rpm
He replied:
hi mate,im sure that if a car manufactuer mass produces an engine to rev to 9200 that it will safely rev to ten
Hmmm
