We're not boost prepping the Sterling Carb yet. We need a turboed model of our own, and frankly we spend enough time helping tune non-boosted systems.
We will in the future, and part of the time management solution to all that will be a forum that I'll start specifically for owners of our products where everyone (including us) will be able to participate in set-up and tuning discussions and share new info.

Sterling, the nikki carbs you modify are they prep for 13B serie 5 engine as well ! Also, what intake manifold would be used with your carb ?

It's just a Nikki that flows 465 cfm. You can put it on whatever you like.
There are a few members who have had great success with it on their 13b.
Carl is configuring 12a manifold porting for it now. An early 13b manifold will need to be modded to mount it.

when i get the sterling nikki done would it be a good idea to also upgrade my fuel pump? if so what is a good size of pump im looking at the holley red or blue but have seen many people on the forum used carter pump and regs latly.......


i will be getting my carb done by ya'll sometime as soon as i get some cash what is the turn around time for a carb? do i pay all up front and then send my stock carb to you once i receive the sterling and then get refunded the core charge?



later days
