hey, i just found out that i'm gonna have to get my nikki carb rebuilt,
now im kind of thinking i should just upgrade to webers or something instead.
is it possible to change carbs?
thanks.

 

yes, but you have to switch intake and such. www.racingbeat.com has full setups, you'll get the picture.

depending on what you want to do with your car you can get it modified by local forum guy Rx7Carl, for alot less than buying new setup.

 

my suggestion? 48 or 51 weber IDA or 48 or 55 weber DCOE. they're not harsh on the street.

 

im just worried that they sound a little rough for everyday driving,
i just recently bought this car so i'm gonna keep it relatively stock for awhile.
so is it really worth it to rebuild the nikki?
why rebuild it though when i could just replace it with something better.
anyways any more info or opinions would be appreciated, Thanks.

 

Have used Holleys w/ a RB intake for 2 custom engines & have had few problems except for w/ the 750dp which has proved clearly is too much for a street ported 13B. I recomend go for the full RB set up & leave the guessing to them.

 

I have the full RB setup, and needless to say, Sterling and Carl have recieved an order from me for a Sterling Carb. I hate that stupid *** holley.

 

full rb setup sounds very expensive...
i just wanna get it fixed, it makes driving the car so frustrating, sometimes it stalls for absolutely no reason when driving around... even at like 4k.
anyways, thanks.

 

Maybe could you detail your problem? Maybe it'll be an easy fix that will require NO money at all. If not, than it isn't that hard to rebuild it. Just stay with the Nikki if you want a good little streeter.

 

I agree with sticking with the Nikki. They are easy to rebuild, just take notes and remove a lot of stuff you don't need if you are going to remove the rat's nest. I even removed my choke, but you may need it up there. There is several good threads on this and the Haynes manual isn't too bad on the rebuild steps. I bead blasted the carb body and airhorn and everything else I was going to reuse before I tore it apart, then sprayed it with engine clear coat after it was back together. Seems to do great. I avg about 22 MPG without a light foot. Good luck..
odd

 

yeah thanks, i think i'm just gonna stick with the nikki.
get it rebuilt i guess, at least then it'll will be running good.
thanks.
