    A Weber 34 tuned for a 2.0 liter 4cylinder motor with an 32/36 weber style adapter plate

    Then you can get a Weber Carb Hat that will allow you to connect a snorkle/Cold Air Intake to it.

    what a20 was suggesting was the adapter from that carb with a Weber 34.

    32/36 hat should fit the 34 weber as well.

    JAM Engineering

    Scroll down to see the pics on their site.

    K&N

    PIERCE
    http://www.piercemanifolds.com/airfilters.htm

    Those cold air intake adapters are great, they help in the low end, but in the upper rpm's the plenum can get in the way if it is too large.
    You might consider the cheaper route and ditch the air filter plenum and get a foam filter
    http://www.racetep.com/ramflolynx.html
    These foam style filters are great, they have great reviews in the weber community, I've used simmilar foam style filters from eddlebrock. The 600 CFM unit is the most perfered. You might be able to find them for cheaper... I'm thinking $45.

    Here is a spacer, spacers help mixture distribution.
    Problem is there isn't any room to use one.
    http://www.redlineweber.com/html/gaskets/99005.120.htm
    It should help keep the carb cooler, this can be a good or bad thing if you run an electric choke.

    something interesting I found on the interner.
    People have been swapping out the;
    Auxiliary / Booster Venturies in theie 32/36
    They take a 4.0mm Aux. Venturi from the 38 weber or 4.5mm Aux. Venturi from the 40 DFAV Weber and put it in
    the Primary 32 Barrel of the 32/36, or they replace both Primary and Secondary Aux. Venturies.
    As you may know both Aux. Venturies in the 32/36 are 3.5mm
    This extra choke strengthens the carb signal and helps the carb become more responsive. It may not work in every situation.

    Slight modification to the venturi may need to be done... the venturi must be installed tight to prevent any air leaks, shims may need to be used to secure the venturi and push it toward the fuel inlet side to prevent air leaks.

    The Aux. Venturi is #98
    38 Weber

    32/36 Weber


    Interesting Chart on Main Venturi Diameter with single 2bbl carb on 4cylinder engine
    The Blue line represents a single cylinder cc.


    I think the graph was ment for synchronous carbs but I just stuck in the 32/36 progressive in there

    More on the RamFlo

If you want any clue as to any difference, run without a filter once in a clean area free of dust. Most Webers run awesome without a filter, in fact a lot of the SCCA guys used to do just that as well as remove the choke blades. Some even went as far as to cut the choke housing's casting off and taper the top of the carb, much like modern day Dominators. The K&N design of having to go "up and over" that choke housing kills the carbs efficiency pretty fast. The biggest effect is WOT, but some drivability issues also show up as well as overall economy. Some guys have done comparison tests with the K&N and Ramflo side-by-side on twin side draft carbs. The Ramflo two cylinders ran much cleaner on the plugs and had much less "backwash" show up in the carb. Those carbs are seriously affected by air flow direction, they must breathe straight in to work properly.

    I wanted to try that mod. I figured it would help.
