Set the idle up in the summer, turn it down in the winter.

So Hyper, which came first, the chicken or the egg, errr the Mikuni or Weber. I detect a note of disdain for the Mikunis in your bump..

Only reason I would go with a Mikuni before a weber is because of the OMP lines built in. I am lazy and don't want to start pre-mixing. They also work well on a stock port engine.

The weber will make more power though. . .

Did you see a desent HP increase with just the carb and not the exaust?

(looks like the stock header on there)


To everone:

Wouldn't it make better power if you curved out that intake manifold a bit more. Those sharp angled bends have to be cutting your intake velocity down a good bit.

with a little imagination the webbers can accomodate OMP lines. you just have to built it in yourself w/ little brains



wackyracer's RX-4 w/ my previous mazdatrix custom 4port 13b w/ modded 48 IDA w/ OMP lines built in-house. and when i say built in-house, i mean the garage. ask wacky

haha I am in FL its hot as *** here AC stays. Nahh tried that I bumped it up to 1.2k and it was unreliably steady with AC in the city. It would stall coming down from higher revs for a red light. Works fine on my turbo FC's. So I went back to one solenoid and throttle opener, took some tuning though.

Now you're asking for it.

Really though the factory throttle opener canister and solenoid could be adapted to any carb, if you really wanted.

Or you could shut the A/C off when you're sitting there idling.


I found that stripping the interior out makes it approximately 400 degrees hotter in the car in the summer, basically a car becomes a toaster oven. I can't handle that kind of heat anymore. If i stripped the interior out of one of my cars, I'd adapt some A/C for sure. (I say "adapt" because the OEM type stuff has got to be horrendously expensive by now)


Steve, glad to see you got the carb mounted up!
