try this one.

 

this one seems to work. seems like a huge increase sor a carb. maybe i am a little off in my thinking. what do you guys think? 60 or not?

 

It'd be a lot cheaper to go with a Sterling/Carl carb. You could replace the fuel pump and add a regulator and still spend less money. Not sure what to make of the 60 hp increase. I'd be very sceptical. That's a 50% increase over stock - just from a carb?

Just my 2 cents.

 

does the sterling/carl carb offer good performance? where can it be purchased?

 

To purchase a Sterling/Carl carb PM either Sterling, or rx7carl.

thats 60 hp with a port job

with stock ports, 10-15 hp tops

 

No,

That's 60 HP with the carb, ignition, and complete exhaust.

You'll need the whole package.

A lite flywheel would be another nice addition.

 

nice

 

maybe it is worth looking into. i have heard that those weber carbs are hard to tune and makes the vehicle difficult to start when cold. any thoughts?

 

It says UP TO 60 HP.

 

on a perfect engine. realistically i would say 40-45

 

The DCOE (sidedraft) webers have no cold start issues as they are a choked carb unlike the IDAs (downdraft) that everyone associates the Webers with difficult cold starts.

Also, though I lack the experience, I think Webers are one of the easiest to tune. You are only tuning a 2 barrel carb versus a 4 barrel. Less parts to change and they're all right there, easily accesible.

Just to through it out there, the Webers have a long history with exotic (European) cars. Not to mention they look really good on a rotary!

The up to 60HP gain is for engines that have been ported and also have a free flowing exhaust such as the RB road race setup (long tube primary header). If you're feeding more air into the engine it has to be able to exit too.
