Bill Limb built up a bank of three NSR carbs for an NS I believe, and I think Dave "Elegy" Reynolds was going to do the same, but he's not been around on here for a couple of months.

Hi, I have done this conversion on an NS engine in an RGV frame, only just ran it for the first time a few days ago after a *GRRR* problem with broken 500cc barrels.
Anyway you need two sets of NSR carbs, I used MC21, and 1 set of NS carbs to use the brackets etc.
The biggest problem is you have to bore out the NS carb to reed rubbers to allow the NSR carbs to fit. I got a company in Reading to do it for me, cost about £40.
The choke is different, the throttle drum off the NS400 also has to be used, and on mine I had to file it down in one place (or a bracket or something) to get it to open to full throttle. Somewhere on the NS400 forum there is a post about it.
I have no airbox, will have ramair filters due to space constraints, and I went for 192 jets in the front, and 195 in the rear - this wasn't done scientifically - just a guess to give me a safe starting point. I've not ridden it yet.
I'm curious about this one.
The JHA NS carbs are simply bored out stockers.
Not sure where the gain is over this and a triple set off an NSR?
Certainly unsure about the gain vs. ££ equation? _________________
The NSR carb swap cost me £20 for a second pair of NSR MC21 carbs, £40 for the work to the rubbers plus about maybe 2 to 3 hours of cleaning and fiddling, plus about £10 in new main jets. Someone with the right sized pillar drill could probably save the rubber work.
I recently bored a set of NS400 carbs for a mate, but haven't got around to putting them back together yet. Got to get Andy's carbs put back together first or I'll be in trouble. Shhhh.......don't tell Andy
I thought about the MC21 carbs being used instead but seeing as matey wasn't too bothered I never looked too deeply into modifying the carb insulators. The NS carbs are tiny by comparison.
I got the job basically because this guy had seen the Jha conversion and had asked for details. Just bored out stock new carbs was the answer so nothing fancy, and seeing as he had three sets of carbs he donated on to the cause.
Let us all know how it goes with the 21 carbs. Gotta be better than those piddly little standard things.
I 'had' a set of Terry Shepherd 500 conversion barrels and pistons to go on the NS/RGV, but they got broken by a courier.
A few guys on the NS400 forum have got 500 conversions. The only dyno chart I've seen was 70 bhp - Although someone told me they had a dyno trace for 90.2 bhp, but I haven't actually seen it.

Cheers for that chap - I have a source for carbs and I'll be asking him to check availability soon (ahem).
The stock NS carb seems a waste of time to use as a starting point so the NSR carb is the default.
As in all strokers and having spent a lot of time looking at the NS400 engine, it is as usual on strokers, all down to getting extra induction volume and then getting the pipes right to get the gas out.
I'm not going for the 500cc conversion, the extra piston weight can't be worth much bearing in mind there are 3 pistons but I am going to have some pipes made just for the engine.
90 at the wheel should be easily reachable with a 400 motor provided the stock pipes are binned and the motor is reworked from the gearbox up. _________________ These aren't the droids you're looking for.
Binka
90brake?
Really?
You'll need CR barrels or similar for that. Is that your plan?
That's a wheezy old porting map the stockers have got in there! _________________
It needs a total rework in the porting, bin the ATACs and it needs a lot of crank case work.
The pipes are just so hopeless and, as asked, the carbs are pathetic.
If it makes 90 then hey, great. If she falls over and makes 75 -that's ok too... it's all good fun. _________________ These aren't the droids you're looking for.
I'm not an expert but I can't see why 90bhp isn't achievable from an NS with big bore, porting, carbs pipes etc.
Someone posted a Shepherd NS500 on the NS400 forum which had 70bhp, but even 80s 125s can be made 30bhp - so you only need to match that to get 90 from the NS.
I think it's got to be down to the lack of numbers of people tuning the NS. ie if someone like Mark Dent got hold of one, and did all the development work...
I *nearly* did the conversion to 2 CR barrels on the NS, but it was too much work versus the 500. I'm now planning a really daft barrel swap, plus stroke enlargement, not sure if it will be feasible yet, but if it comes off it will be good.
