S4 Stock - S4 streetport Weber 50
Engine went bad some time ago....sold my RX8 and now the build starts for the FC. Decided to go Weber...have always loved the style...heard great things about response.....so of we go! Pics of winter...and I guess when its in your blood...it just happens....rotor in the snow....by accident....
I scored an old housing 13B with an aggressive streetport and a 50 DCO S/P Weber...
Car has full RB exhaust already...going to cut and weld up the 5/6 port tube from presilencer...and need to repolish the header. These are pics as I got parts. Have been working on the car/engine for about a week....so far so good.

Got engine pulled...never used any oil...but trans is going to need a good bath. Found some cut wires from neutral switch on back of trans.
Going to run a Dual Friction CenterForce and RB aluminum flywheel still to come...OEM throw out bearing.
Polished the vac pods on distributor and decided to go with something I've had in mind for some time. Black block, polished front cover, polished intake AND carb.

you can purchase air horn caps, comes with a metal screen to secure the foam filter. however, ditch the foam filter and replace it with sink strainer (yeah the one from asian market or $0.99 store) cut out the fitthe cap. this will ensure to get air flow and prevent carb from sucking rocks and debris.
