#7: Re: twin webers? Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sun Dec 19, 2010 3:45 am ---- You'd also have to find a way of providing the ignition...carbs are a step backwards in terms of technology.
#8: Re: twin webers? Author: Nimminz, Location: Durham, NE England, UKPosted: Sun Dec 19, 2010 4:22 am ---- carbs stopped being fitted to production cars at 1993 IIRC same with when catalytic convertors came in.
Last carburetted production car sold in UK was a Volvo 400 IIRC.
Its just another intake + fuelling system. Could probably be fitted to any car with enough work.

#11: Re: twin webers? Author: mjsroofing, Location: south walesPosted: Sun Dec 19, 2010 5:33 am ---- you can use twin webers on any engine, but you will need to do some mods, electrical wise, most banger racing cars use webers and old rally cars, twin 45's were very comman, and can add soem bhp to
#12: Re: twin webers? Author: Spanerman, Location: Neath, South Wales.Posted: Sun Dec 19, 2010 5:40 am ---- Throttle bodies are today equivalent
Much better fuel metering!

that's what i don't understand. so do you mean carb is better than electronic fuel injections?

It aint lol
Webers were what we use Throttle Bodies for now,,
They where a inproved carb system like TB's would be on my new car
#15: Re: twin webers? Author: Spanerman, Location: Neath, South Wales.Posted: Sun Dec 19, 2010 10:23 am ---- Yeah, the better atomisation and metering of injection put carbs to sleep about 20 years a go
#16: Re: twin webers? Author: Aaronwillis, Location: IpswichPosted: Sun Dec 19, 2010 10:45 am ---- I used to have a xr2 on twin 45s
#17: Re: twin webers? Author: Nimminz, Location: Durham, NE England, UKPosted: Sun Dec 19, 2010 11:45 am ---- twin 45s are what my car would have if i had the money, either that or a big ol' turbo
#18: Re: twin webers? Author: mjsroofing, Location: south walesPosted: Sun Dec 19, 2010 11:54 am ---- they are better than injection systems because you can tune them more, injection systems are much better for mpg and reliability and emissions, weber just throw s**t loads of fuel in

sorry my mistake i was on a couple of sites then and got mixed up, easy for things to get a little heated some times in it. sorry mate.
#27: Re: twin webers? Author: Mattie-RS, Location: A Track near you ;)Posted: Sun Dec 19, 2010 1:05 pm ---- Id bet Throttle bodies are better than Webers
Much more control with TB's than Webers
#28: Re: twin webers? Author: mjsroofing, Location: south walesPosted: Sun Dec 19, 2010 1:16 pm ---- yeah your right enough mate, theh only time they are better is when you have a kit car or simalar and cant have the wiring ecu set up, or if you cant chip/remap an ecu to get the bhp , so i would think its rare now that ant one would use them but you can get some wicked performance out of a set of twin 45's and they sound great. it all depends what you want then for i supose
#29: Re: twin webers? Author: Mattie-RS, Location: A Track near you ;)Posted: Sun Dec 19, 2010 1:21 pm ---- Definatly,, i aint doubting them atall just technology has moved on

yur right enough mate it has, hence kit cars, and bangers racing so its easier to set up kill switches etc, very rear you see them now.
#31: Re: twin webers? Author: Rob2859, Location: HalifaxPosted: Sun Dec 19, 2010 2:01 pm ---- bout a webber carb for my dads kit car when we had it. much better over the standard carb but injection is much better. With carbs the fuel vapour is drawn in with the air current rather than being pumped directly into the cylinders
#32: Re: twin webers? Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sun Dec 19, 2010 2:14 pm ---- Carbs are prehistoric mechanical things which are less reliable, require more servicing and don't give any more power than the modern equivalent - the fuel injected throttle body. Electronic fuel injection gives you the ability to give the engine exactly the right amount of fuel throughout the rev range, this can't be done with carbs. Carbs can give the same peak bhp figures as fuel injected cars but they can't match EFI through the rest of the rev range.
Banger racers don't use twin carbs. They use a single downdraught carb.
Just to clarify something. A single carb is comparable to a single point injection throttle body. Twin sidedraught carbs are comparable to independent throttle bodies.
