I did turbo my ZVH through the bike carbs for a while but because they were in a plenum chamber i missed the sucking noise of them! They do sound awesome on any engine, much more responseive than Webers. They are easier to use, cheaper to buy and more economical to run IMO.


The ZVH doesnt sound any different as its the same head. I was running an EFI head like yours, the only problem being that they dont do an off the shelf manifold for the EFi CVH. I had to get one made specially as the ports are a different shape


My car is only used for shows/weekends so i cant comment on daily driving but it starts/drives fine. I know carbs can be a bit of a pain to setup initially but once they are done they dont require much maintenance.


I had looked at moving to ITBs last year but basically concluded that there would be no real power gain over carbs on my standard Zetec and the cost would have been sky high for little/no gain.
