realistically speaking they are not carbs. they are individual throttle bodies.

I don't see fuel injectors anywhere, can you point them out?

Default Wow. thats impressive.

That exhaust manifold is a piece of work. Looks the maker also put a front mounted intercooler in front of the radiator. It sure does look like two 2 barrel carbs mated to a custom intake plenum. I don't see a fuel injection rail or any injectors. if you look above the exhaust header on the 2nd photo, the fuel lines can be seen leading into new brass lines. They of course go the regulator which can't be seen. Very interesting. Its a 16V crossflow head. My 2.0 prelude S had similar double 2 barrel carbs in a crossflow layout with 12Valves.

I would like to know how the owner is controlling and preventing detonation. Its very possible that he's running low boost, but with that size turbo and intercooler its not likely.
