I know for sure that Im going to stick dual carbs on my 1975 2.0 But the mechanic said its going to cost $500-$600 for the carbs he hasn't looked yet to see what he can get. I asked if they were weber carbs and he said those are going to cost alot more. Im thinking about getting some carbs online myself and just pay for the labor to get them put on. That will probley be cheaper. But Im not sure of any good places. Im looking for some good carbs that arn't going to be over kill but will make my porsche run really good.
Im asking for help with the carbs and I have made my mind up that Im not sticking with fuel injection so please don't tell me how good fual injection is and how I should not go with carbs. Thanks to all those who help (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) |

QUOTE(Scott Schroeder @ Mar 23 2004, 10:28 AM) fire away.... i hate carbs (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) but i think you're right. a good carb setup does not devalue a car, IMHO. i'm not a CW. if it works, it works. i used to work with carbs and dual setups for years on my VW-Bugs. (had probably 10 of them over the years). everything from stock single carb to dual & quad with homemade linkage and manifolds and kompressors all kinds of trick schtuff. i knew how to work 'em and then i bought this VW-Bus that had a 2.0L Type4 FI engine in it. 100 HP made the bus going like crazy. ripped the engine out and threw it into my bug. that WAS an eye-opener. i didn't know sh$t about FI at the time. hooked it all up and it ran. no cold start problems anymore. fired right up everytime. perfect idle. smooth running. i haven't looked back ever since. i love FI (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) Andy |
