i know dcoe's are more of a prelude thing but can u put a 40 in an accord or do you need an adaptor plate or manifold to do it?
what about a 38mm? could that work maybe?

its not how fast you go, its how fast you get going.
smaller carbs will work but then you may lose some top end... most cases you'll need a custom manifold.
Your best bet without going for a new or used 38mm downdraft would be to get a single 38mm sidedraft... someone on here has one that is kinda extra.
They bought 3 carbs (solexes I believe), so you could use one of the carbs and then buy an adapter that will allow you to mount a sidedraft carb to a downdraft base... I think it's only for a 45mm to a 32/36 base... but I'm not sure.

which one KC 172 or KC 190?
its not how fast you go, its how fast you get going.
you'll probably want the KC 172 since that will give you the most mounting options and more clearance for velocity stacks and air cleaners.
You may also need the 32/36 adapter plate for that to mount on... or you can find a way to drill new holes to mount it directly to the manifold without the DGV adapter being used. I would port your intake manifold really good. https://www.3geez.com/showthread.php?t=30234
Don't port as wide as I did... just enough to match the inside edge of the gasket they give you with the DCOE adapter... the important bit to get rid of is the center divider that seperates the primary and secondary barrels.

Or you can go crazy with the KC 190 and face the carb barrels forward... cut a hole in the hood and have ram air.

Oh they are SOLEX 40mm SIDE DRAFT
"INTERCHANGEABLE WITH WEBER 40 DCOE AND DELLORTO 40 DHLA CARBS AND THE MIKUNI CARBS.WILL FIT ON ANY STANDARD WEBER SIDE DRAFT MANIFOLD."

lol thanks i just need one off of hondavtec now...
ram air would be badass... then i'd need a cam...
velocity stacks are the air horns stickin out?
its not how fast you go, its how fast you get going.
for a single dcoe i would go with atleast 45mm, 48 or a 50mm would be even better but i don't think they will fit and if you have any type of emissions forget it
It would be nice but this 40mm should be relatively cheap cheap cheap since it was bought at a low price. Plus it's extra...

hondavtec says hes keepin the 40mm for spare, bad news for me
how much are they new?
whats wrong with 32/36 loss of high end power you were saying?
its not how fast you go, its how fast you get going.
nothings wrong with the 32/36. it's just a small carb so you won't get max power in the higher rpms.
I saw a 40mm downdraft.
Depends really on how much you plan to modify your motor.

if i bought the 38mm i'd need an adaptor for the 32/36 and then another one for the weber to the manifold... i saw some DCOE's on ebay but thats pretty hardcore for me
i could jet the 32/36 but by the time i do that i could pretty much have a 38mm bran new
since i'm talkin about carbs i'm lookin at the vac line removal, whats the easiest approach? remove all the lines, jet controllers, and vac control then put the lines u need in and plug the rest?
its not how fast you go, its how fast you get going.
yeah I would remove everything... including the carb if you have a full rebuild kit.
Buy hew vacuum lines and get to work.
keep the vacuum secondary.
- llia
can i bolt on a weber carb or do i need an adapter?
Here is what you need.
WEBER KIT AND INSTALL FAQ
- llia
so to use the 38 you need a second adapter on top of the 32/36?
bumpage to an old thread for carb people
Holy back from the dead bumpage, Batman! Good thread though.
