Time for a little more power

Bram, bram! xD

£500 is surley cheapish for a brand new set of webers?

Didn't even know you could still get webers brand new!

What are these going on?

I thought it wasn't too bad for a new pair. I swear they were more than that before. The way I saw it was a second hand pair costs quite a bit, then with the rebuild kits and a set of jets and chokes it's pretty close to what I paid, except this way I get the new style carb with the better fuelling, all the seals are brand new and no wear on the spindles. Seems they had stopped making them but someone took them over and continued production.

Bike carbs wouldn't suit it, it's an all 60's style Anglia.

WEBER = subscribed!

I wanna come play! IF you need a hand (not that you do I know) I'm only round the corner!

 

[Thomas. PLease.]

what car are those going on?

 

[latercomer2]

Awesome stuff, can't wait to see the engine rebuild.

Very nice, what sort of power will you be looking at ?

I used to have a RS Mexico with a 2.1lt pinto and twin 45's and had about 150bhp out of it which is mad when you think of modern engines but cars back then didn't weigh very much

SCHLURRRP!!

3 of them sitting on top of my V6 would be pretty awesome

How would that work then? Planning on cutting one of the carbs in half?

No, that's one venturi for every cylinder then? 3x2 = 6? You'd need downdraughts though, IDAs or similar.

I was assuming directly bolted to the intake ports... doh.

 

[Lashout_UK]

Ah ok

Stranger things have been done though, was a time when halving twins was common! - "Split" Webers or Dellortos just for one venturi!

that wouldn't work as i have two intake ports per cylinder so would need to get a mnaifold made up to fit which is why it'll never happen as it'll cost to much

I have twin 40 DHLA's on my Midget the induction noise is addictive. A spanish company is now producing brand new weber's as they aquired all the tooling AFAIK.

Pay attention at the back

Should be pushing mid to high 140's with a bit of luck. Not bad for an old 1500cc Cortina engine

This seems to be where mine are from. I hope the quality is there, looks like there are a few improvements and a few new jetting holes comparing them with my old ones
