[QUOTE="aditrahim, post: 1005570, member: 14849"] [b]Carbs Crabs.[/b] Dear all, Carbs for VW: Weber - 34mm, 40mm, 44mm, 48mm for usage in classic VW's 34mm - suitable for engines up to 1776cc, normally goes for about RM 2,800 brand-new, inclusive of shipping. 40mm - suitable for engines 1600cc to 1914cc 44mm - suitable for engines 1776cc to 2110cc 48mm - Unless your engine is maxed-out modified, and you've got tons of money to burn, don't use. Highly uneconomical, a pain to tune, too expensive and only suitable for engines 2110 cc above. If used on smaller engines, you're just choking your engine to death. If U happen to read of weber 52mm, these are not carbs, but rather throttle bodies to be used in conjunction with a fuel injection system. Best all rounder carbs, easy maintenance and reasonably priced - Weber 40mm Best rare carbs - Dellorto 36mm/40mm - Ah Teck has some...hahahhaha If U use the car on a daily basis, your best bet would be to source out 34PICT5/6 (T5 or T6, for those in the know). These carbs are from the Golf MK1/2, and they are relatively simple to maintain and provides enough power for a 1600 engine that would be both torquey and economical. Just make sure that the carbs are down-draft carbs, not side-draft ones (alfa,fiat). IDF's and DRLA are for streetable cars, while IDA's are mostly used for drag and race cars. If U have the dough, up to U to splash it all on go-faster parts, but bear in mind, it will be a neverending quest, and if your cashflow is neverending, fine enough. Don't let the passion get out of hand,I learned it the hard way. OK, last few advises for this session: - Before you all install all these monster/power parts to your engine, make sure you beef up the transmission and drivetrain, with suitable transmission mountings from Rhino, Gene Berg or EMPI. Standard mountings would not last under constant sprinting actions, because it doesn't provide enough flexibility. - Make sure your braking system is sufficient and efficient. - Don't forget to upgrade your exhaust system, as it will unleash some promising BHP's. Install a proper extractor system. Use a crossflow muffler to gain more top end, straight flow muffler for sprints. Anything else that needs attention, just point it out to me.
