Default bike carbs or bike tbs??

hi all im building a 2.0 zetec lump to go in my quantum {xr2} but now im at a hard decision i have a set of bike carbs i was planning on using with a primetive esc system to get it running ...but i also was going megajolt when i had the money ...now ive landed on some 600cc bike tbs and im thinking of that. I suppose my question is will the 600cc bike tbs be big enough for a 2.0 zetec and how my extra work would be involved thanks for any ideas ..

Tb's for a CAR engine will give the best, like jenvey etc, though you can get tb's from around Ł250 new for a twin tb, so x2.

yeh then what sort of managment would i need the only reason i thought of bike tbs was they are cheap and ive already got some here. that was why i thought of them its probably better to go down the proper route like you say.. im just on a tight budget at the mo in as my subaru is sucking the life out of me too.
