Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

The spree intakes came in today. Wow. They really add some serious acceleration to my spree with the 48mm kit. Takes off very strong. It was raining and I have to dial it in a bit. Will post pics tomorow. I am running a 21mm carb. hehe. Wait til you see this.

Do you have any pics of your spree intake mani and your spree performance pipe, Taz?
I cannot wait to see what you came up with for the pipe...

It's about time someone manufactured a pipe for the spree!

With the 48bbk, 21mm carb, CT Mani, and exhaust pipe i would bet the spree could go a solid 45 all day long.
Couple in the clutch mod and bigger tire and the wimpy spree engine just turned into a relative beast!

Not without the gears it won't.

Ok, so once I find someone to machine my head, I am considering the next step of the resto-mod to be Taz' Carb/Intake kit.

First question, and this is for everyone, how does this compare to the CT Mani that I see talked about all over the board? Could this be adapted to a 6 reed setup?

Second question, for Taz, is the only available throttle cable color blue? Much rather have a black one...nothing vinyl dye wouldn't fix I guess.

It IS the CT manifold with an adapter to fit the Spree. Yes you can use the 6 petal reeds, but you will not see any performance increase from them.

Sweet on the IS part, but what about what you had said here:

"The 6 petal compared to 4 petal reeds will improve the bottom end and mid range throttle response and performance. The old multiple carb adage applies here, "a lot of little holes is better than a couple of big holes." The top end will not be hurt and depending on the area of the reed openings can be improved."

The 6 petal will help the bottom end but without a variator the Spree isn't going to be able to really utilize it. I will be saving my money when this set up goes on my Spree. Increased compression and finding some higher RPM clutch springs will help more than going with the 6 petal reeds.

Ok, thanks. I'll roll with the original until I get to point of being in the "what the heck can I do next" stage.

Insetad of going off topic, I'd like to know more about these higher RPM clutch springs if you have time for a PM sometime soon.

Taz, can you tell us a little more about the reeds you are using in this kit? Are they metal, fiberglass, carbon-fiber?

If its just the regular CT mani they come with fiberglass reeds

Cool, good to know. I'm really thinking about going with this thing. Hopefully Taz will chime in with a full breakdown on the kit when he gets a moment.

If this doesn't tell you what you need to know, Nothing will.
