Personally I'd rather stick with a carb because of the adjustability and Ive always dealt with carbs. I currently have carb and I (over a couple months) will be buying another engine and rebuilding it. I was considering swapping to EFI but I wanted to check on the webber carb, how many people have them and would you say its better than efi?
I have a Weber 32/36. It's not better than efi. A weber 38/38 would be probably the same as having efi. I'm going to eventually put on the 38 just b/c the 32/36 is getting to be too small for the amount of stuff I have so far.
I like carbs so I say stay with it man!
Yup, I stick with it cause I'm comfrtabl with them, plus it adds a touch of nostalgia. :)
As for getting it for performance... the 38 is about the simplest to swap on without getting a custom manifold, next would be the dual webers, a guy on honda-tech was selling manifolds for the A20... then there is the miscelaneous... I'm doing the 4bbl conversion, and there have been other manifold modifications as well as bke carbs set up to run on the A20.
I love my carb and am hoping to soon change my Keihien to a 38 weber, I just wanna figure out a way to get Turbo running along side with it.
I wanted to Supercharge with a 38, I tried contacting Camden Superchargers by E-Mail but they want you to call.
LC engineering has a Charger / 38 weber kit but the pully would need to be installed facing the trans end of our motor to work right. Even if we added a secondary drive shaft to intall a pully on the pully side of our motor, there still might be the issue of the SC pully hitting the torque bar from the motor to the firewall.

I wouldn't never recomend turbo the carb. it is the worst setup you can possibly have on carbed engines. IMO the best system is pull through setup. carburator sits on the top of the supercharger or in our case it should be attached to the side kind of like Jackson racing supercharger or simular ones. this will insure proper and fast tunning plus you won't have to preasurize the whole carb. or make big changes to fuel system.
Didn't it come up that the jackson wont work cause of where the compression takes place. or because of the screw design the fuel is seperated too much from the air... I forget. If anything the Jacskon would be great cause it already can fit our head... we'd just have to rig up the carb side.
Yup turbo is just adding complexity... the most commom is a push/blow thru dual DCOE setup... even though you can pressureris carbs thry aren't ment to run that way. Plus with all the electronic engine management you need to add on, you might as well convert to efi... especially since some of the blow thru carb setups I've seen have fuel injectors to add enrichment where needed. That to me defeats the purpose of running a carb.
On the other end running draw thru requires less turning but has more drawbacks.
2old_honda has a manifold he's holding for me, but i am willing to pass it up if someoen else is closer to the swap than me...
Anyone have a 38 weber? I also wanna know how much to expect, because if I call around places they will jack up prices so much for their end. What have you guys been paying for webers?
look on e-bay for used ones but find out if it's be re jetted or what jets it has.
I got two weber 32/36's for $150 on e-bay . New a 38 is about $360 at the REDLINE WEBER store down here.

you'll need to buy a linkage kit, the throttle cable bracket, the adapter plate, the rebuild kit, any unuseable jets, and the air filter assembly seperately.
I hate carbs .... :D
:crying: It's all too much for my sensitive ears.Quote:

Hehe sure.
Don't worry A20A1, I don't really hate them that much. I mainly hate the stock carb with all those spaghetti-like vacuum hoses.
carotman I think everyone who has looked at carbs that have all those vacuum hoses hates them. Its not just you I think its all of us :) I like it with my weber b/c now I have so much room well not really I got those intakes and that takes the room up.
I got my manifold adapter from a20a1 for like 60 and a new in box weber 38 of ebay fopr 255 shipped. Ive been told the limits of the weber 38 is 200 hp or there abouts so Im not sure if Im keeping it or not. ill try it out to see hwat i think but may going with sperate carbs and a custom intake. Id like to see a 250 Hp b20a. I mean with the money Ive spent to only gain 40 HP what a waste. So far. New pistons, headwork, exhaust from the header back, intake work, weber 38, and all the other boltons. So well see.
I'll stick with my DCOEs until I can get the EFI DCOE work-alike injector setup going. Then I would consider supercharging or turbo.
