Questions re: Weber 44 IDF carbs:
1. Is anyone running these on a stock engine, and if so, how do they perform? National Carburetors kit for stock engines is 34 ICT's, lightly modified 40 IDF's, and only 44's on heavily modified engines. 2. What problems do you introduce using 44's? other than dumping too much fuel in the engine...... 3. Venturi's are 45mm, someone pointed out that one should use 40mm venturi's - is that with a stock engine? 4. Anyone run 44's and then convert back to EFI? How did that go? Labor cost? TIA, GN |

It'll be more work than just slapping on a set of carbs, but I think you'll be happier in the long run if you install the original D-Jet setup. Plus, the car will be worth more once it's all done.
If you're going to stick with carbs, the 44s are too big for a stock engine. The 40s might work for a 2.0, but might be too big if you still have the stock cam. The 34s will give you the best drivability around town and fuel mileage, but you might sacrifice a little on the top end on a 2.0. |
