I run a holley 600 with a secondary jets on a street port 12a in a rx-2 & it runs bad ***. Now I must admit it took me a long time to get it running right but it idles smooth & it accelerates all the way to 9k. The point is u cant expect to slap on any carb & expect to run right.

 

I thought the same thing at 1st too....lol

 

Hey Nick
Before you start buying all kinds of junks, the following should give you ideas on whatever you're getting into. I just hate to see anyone waste their hard earned $$$. Sooner or later, you will have a collection like me.

To late i have a rebuilt nikki a rebuilt holley and mikinu and still dont know what to do the stock carb just seams like to much BS after removal of the rat nets. The holley is to big and the intake i got for mikinu I dont like and dont fill safe using. O well i ll get it up and running 1 way or another.

 

Should Have Bought My Dellorto Setup In The First Place Like I Told You To Do And You Would Be Up And Running

 

yea well i got a kick in the but now. if i can sell some part i might still buy the seup. I am just gonna get enough aftermarket carb and intake setups to run all my motors.

 

wacky racer.......after trying out so many carbs, which one do u think is best for a stock port or a street port 12a???

 

IDA since I dont drive like the lil old lady from Pasadena. Im my honest opinion, IDA is the way to go as this carb can be used on any N/A application ---change of venturies and jets. Its easy to tune as the jets/venturies are easily accessible and parts are easy to find. For P-Port application, its only $150 appx to make it a 51.5 from 48. So its not bad for a 20+ yr old carb and people are always looking for an IDA. In summary, you only have to buy a carb ONCE!!!

There are downside also:
1. I have been hearing people complaining about cold starting but I never seen that problem despite it gets down to about 50* here in Socal during winter. Yeah, east coasters, thats cold enough for me. Anything below that, I may need to hibernate.

2. Just like any other carb, IDA hates the heat (90*+ weather).

3. Suck lots of gas like a typical ****.

 

Thanks wacky racer, now im thinkin about getin an ida,

 

np. Just giving something back to the community as the old folks would say.

 

Yea i would like the IDA but it gets really cold here broke7 just swiched to the IDA i think he is going to have starting problems when it gets cold. Well i won the racing beat intake. So when i get it ill see how things go.

 

wacky racer ida isnt recommended for a stock port by racing beat, so should i run it on a stock port?? if i need to street port my 12a just for a 48 ida i will, but can it be used on a stock port and still get a good running engine??

 

many wont recommend an IDA on a stocker but I have good experience with them. With stock motor, depending on your driving habits, you can use 38-40 venturies so you will need to play with the jetting/venturies.

Bottom line:
You CANNOT just bolt on a carb and assume that its jetted right; I dont care what the store or builder says. There are no 2 engiens that are alike and your location makes a big difference. You need to get your hands dirty. Otherwise, get a darn fuel injection.

To date, Im still playing with different configuration whenever I have a chance.

 

holley carb and intake are for sale would like $300 but make an offer may even part out

 

i switched to the ida because the dellorto seemed to be too small if you are running a stock 12a, 13b, or it is street ported the dellorto is better for every day driving. i had this setup when i had a 13b six port for 3 plus years and was trouble free and i used the same jet sizes all year from winter to summer and the car always started yea i know i didn't get the best milage in the winter but it wasn't my daily driver so i didn't care. i am currently running a 13b half bridgeport that is why i switched to a ida. the ida has a large following with the vw guys so there is plenty of after market parts around but the ida is a carb that doesn't like temp changes. if you are doing more street driving i would go with a dellorto pm me i have one for sale. i am not try to pitch a sales ad for my carb just telling my opnion but it depends on what you want to do with your car.

 

oh yea ask nick his opnion about the dellorto because he is still kicking himself in the *** over selling his dellorto setup

 

Yea i would love to go back with the dellorto but i am going to try and give the Mikuni a shot i have heard just as much good stuff about it. Now that i am going to be having the right intake for the carb.

 

And on a side note if any1 if looking for a dellorto broke7 is a great person to buy from. never got anything but great stuff from him.

 

Yea I had a Mikuni and loved it!

 

what jet did you use on th carb if you happen to rember?

 

Sorry I got it from a forum member who also had a sp motor so it was set up nicely. Some fine tweaking and away I went! You'll be fine. Those carbs are easy to tune.

 

yea and much less of a headache then the stock carb.

 

The one I bought off of eBay a couple of years ago had 190 air and 200 fuel. Seemed to work ok with a stock port. Also had a 52.5 pilot jet.

 

Kool thanks when i get the intake i ll be happy. I was told that this carb was used on a 12a so i hope all i have to do is bolt it up. Holley stff still for sale.

 

bump for still sale.
