TOHATSU & NISSAN 40/50 HIGH FLOW REED INTAKE PLATE (70 CARB BORE)

Air is power!  Let the Tohatsu 40/50 breathe with the FCR high flow reed intake plate to suit 40/50 blocks.  This plate is designed for Tohatsu 70 carbs.  Upon internal porting work, engine builders will typically install larger carbs to meet the larger internal porting capacity.  Tohatsu/Nissan control horsepower through carbs, reed intake plates and reeds.  Fast Cats Racing high flow reed intake plates are perfectly flow matched from the round outlet of the carburetor to the rectangular inlet of the reed cage.  From factory the carburetors are also offset 3mm and now have been centered to perfectly flow match to the reed cage.  A vast improvement over the factroy design and a perfect accessory to match to Boyesen ultimate pro series carbon reeds.
