I'd like more pics of your setup. I've never seen that carb hat berfore.

 

I am pretty sure those photos came from Sevenstock, don't remember who took it though. You might want to try posting in the Sevenstock section too.

 

That car was at 7stock, but these pics look to be from JCCS a week later. Those
16" SSRs in the 4x110 are rare. First time I had seen a full set of those outside of my own

 

I have 6-15" SSRs, a pair each in 8, 9 and 10" widths. I also have 8 centers. 4 in the 5X114.3 RR pattern, (going on the widebody), 2 in the 5X114.3 FR pattern and a pair to fit the GSL-SE. After I get the big brake conversion finished on the widebody, I may put the 15X8" wheels up for sale with the SE centers. Unfortunately the FR set of centers won't fit any of the rims I have.

I would imagine it's quite hard to find the 4X110 centers. Best place to find them might Yahoo.jp or contact kenn chan here on the forum. He's the one that sourced the SSRs for me including 4 brand new center caps. He found the center caps, a pair of centers and the 8" rims on Yahoo.jp. Ken is outstanding to work with for sourcing parts. Odd thing is, he has a harder time finding 1st gen parts in Japan than we do here because they get crushed sooner than they do here.

Sorry I can't help on the carb hat, just wanted to follow up on the SSR info.

 

Go to Mickster. He took pics of the car at JCCS.

Yes those pics were from JCCS. I somehow misses it at SS XI

 

anyone find out who's car this is?

 

Pretty sure That's a CarTech 1C Turbo Kit.

Yea I found someone selling a cartech kit just like teh one pictured with a 40IDF... yukie. I was hoping the hat would fit a 48IDA the king of webers.

 

48dcoe.

 

DCOE is sidedraft

 

That is correct, I was just replying to the guy above who said 48IDA is the "King of Webers"

 

Ida is about a million times better than a DCOE!!! all the E does is ruin the idle circut and make the carb so you can't boost prep it with out removing it...

 

I beg to differ.

 

That would be ye ol 51IDA

 

I guess i'd have to try one someday and see how it compares.

 

everything i have read says the IDF series is better for boost than the IDA. i previously owned a 48 IDF but ignorantly traded it for a dellorto. i love my dellorto, but i wish i never would of given up the IDF.

 

Idf > Dco > Ida

 

The only reason the IDF is suppose to boost better is because it doesn't have the troublesome brass floats, but it has the shitty rubber accelerator pump that tears from boost. The IDA is just a vertical DCO. On a IDA rotary you can run a shorter intake length and get more peak power with out the hassles of vapor lock, extreme heat soak, and custom cable required with a DCO and lakecities manifold. Nothing is better than a JayCee 51.5 IDA. I've built cars with most all the setups out there be it DCD DCO DCOE IDA IDF DGEV and I like the IDA the best.
IMHO
IDA>IDF>DCD>DCO>DCOE

 

pm this guy his the one that build this car (rotaryengineering)

 

Gotta get Robert in on this

 

Ida is about a million times better than a DCOE!!! all the E does is ruin the idle circut and make the carb so you can't boost prep it with out removing it...

 

It's also much easier to deal with getting it on and off (maybe I just don't have the right tools, but my wraparound DCOE manifold is kind of a PITA). Plus, when your floats get stuck down, an IDA just floods the engine rather than dumping gas all over your engine bay like a DCOE. Ask me how I know this.

IDA FTW.

 

I've had a DCOE for about 2 years and NEVER had that happen.

 

thats cuz my carb is the shhhiieet!!!
