Carbie suggestions

[Bluerex]

Yellow golf has an old grotty single throat Weber with manual choke. It’s ok but I figure it might be a good place to start for some cheap performance gain.
I grabbed the twin-throat Weber manifold off e-bay last week, so I am looking for something (second hand - but not too buggered) that would bolt up.

I was bidding on a rather nice DCNF till e-bay cancelled the seller’s membership (and all his sales) DOH!!!



So guys, what are my options (max budget for this mod approx $150)

32/36 webbers good cheap option
mine off a 2l f eski jetted out
plenty of options in the parts for
sale as metioned

What is the difference between progressive and synchronous?? I know in principal but what about drivability? (Note that ecconomy is NOT an issue)

Edit: Still interested in opinions, but after a trip to Peter's Magic Carbie Box - I have a 32/36 in my hot little hand that should keep me out of trouble.

Re Carby

Hi rexy we were running a dgav weber( bolts straight on) on the yellow car till we put twin dellortos on The carbies still here it will cost you postage if you want it contact me off line Trevor

I think that if economy is not an issue then some flat slide carbys (as seen on them there Le Mans Prosche racer thingys) are the order of the day.

you need a different manifold that fits the carbie that you purchase, apart from that plug and play (make sure the jetting is right )

Thanks heaps Trevor, but I think I am set now thanks to the continued magic of Peter's back room.

Thanks all, I may go twins at a later date, I just have to keep reminding myself that this is not meant to be the "big bugdet" rally car (- John Rawson still has custody of that one ) it's just to punt around in at khana events etc
