Any updates Jeezus on getting this carb to work well in your stockport 12a?
|
None yet, just trying to get the jettings down before I buy them.
|
I ran a weber 48mmDCOE on my stockport 12a for a while. It ran like a bat out of hell above 3500, ran like complete crap below that. I played with jets and what not for quite a while. The idle wasn't that great cause it was large and it will bog/stumble if you get on the gas below 3 grand. It would start ok with 3 to 5 pumps of the pedal. I replaced that with a 45mm that started and ran alot nicer for a daily driver, but just didnt pull hard up top like the 48 did. If you can live with the really crappy low end, it will scream up top well past 7k.
|
its all in the tuning...
IMHO, a 45 is a waste of hard earned cash. It looks nicer than a Nikki but performance wise, I'm not impressed. Ask mazda83 for his opinion. he upgraded from a 45 to a 48 IDA plus he has ridden in that SA with stock 12-A and IDA. |

You dont have any dyno runs with both setups, do you? Can you estimate how much hp you got over the 45 with the 48 in top end? Thanks. |
For a IDA carb only use F10 idle jets. The air bleed for the idle jets is in the idle jet holder. Run 65f10 idle jets with 120 idle jet holders.

Slammed gsl finally told me that he loves his finally tuned yaw..but driving mine the other day..there is a noticeable power difference...now he's going 13b and a weber 48.. |
One of the things a lot of folks don't understand about progressive 2 barrels like
webers, dellortos, mikunis, etc is that for a stock port rotary you have to use the right sized venturis so that the idle and the progression circuits work well upto full throttle. Lots of times folks put a 48 whatever on there with the biggest venturi on a stock port and then get upset when it doesn't perform well except at WOT. The problem is without a smaller venturi in there at idle the stock port can't get enough velocity for the air and fule to mix. |
n0ferz, the car would idle fine with the 48. It just had to be set a little higher, like around 1000 to really be happy. As wackyracer said, i didn't enjoy the 45mm. As for seat of the pants dyno, i would say the 48 put down around 15 extra horses, especially in third. The carb transitioned alot better in third fourth and fifth than it did in the lower gears because the rpm changes so quickly in first and second.

65F10 idle jet 120 holders 37mm Chokes 135 main 120 air All correct? I will be ordering them tonight if this is good. I tried PMing Rotaryshack to see his recommendations and if he sells the jets but still no answer :( Thanks to everyone so far! |

you need atleast 170's for your mains. Let me know what you need i have some extra jets lying around i'll let go cheap since they're just dead weight to me.
|
As I always recommend, invest on index and number drill bits. Drill them out until you find the size that fits your driving habit. then go to the partshouse and purchase the correct size. this is what you do when the 48 IDA you just purchased came with VW specs (smaller jets etc etc)
|
There is a great deal on ebay under "weber jets" from 'carbpartsdirect'(which is actually pierce manifolds) They will sell you 24 mains for $25 plus shipping, IIRC about $10 for 2 day. They were all 115's when I got them so you can punch them out to anything usable for us.
By the way, I had just had a full bridgeport 12A on the dyno this week. We are forced to run 40mm vents but I got the AFR flat at 13.5 from 4000-9500rpm with 240 mains, 170 airs, F11's. If the car gets below 4K rpm when its running we have bigger problems than afr's but it was just a little rich down low. You can make these carbs work on just about anything. |
they are good guys too. stay the hell away from weberpartsdirect and carbs unlimited.

The RX-4 that we sold early 08 had a bridgeported TII block with 51 IDA. I had 45 venturies on it and that puppy was a beast on the freeway. that was just during break-in period and not fully tuned to its potential. Too bad, it was sold

Jeezus. Clear out your PM inbox and your sent items. I'm posting my reply to your PM here.
Goodnight. Thats new :) So I would need 65F10 Idle jets, F11 E tubes, ??? airs, 190 mains, and the 38mm chokes. How much would you sell the E-tubes for? |
i replied to his pm too.. i think he is trying to buy one set of jets one time and have the car run perfect. not going to happen.. each car is different so your going to need to buy a combination of jets and play around until you find your cars sweet spot. te most we can do is point you in the right direction :)
