I have been sorting through some questionable past mechanical choices that were implemented on my 1.9 (1.8 with 96mm cylinders). Currently it seems to have some type of single Weber a 32 I think that seems to have come off a Ford car. Not a good choice of carbs by any measure. Of course will be going back with dual Webers but I am struggling between the 34 and 40. The 40s are much more attractive than the 34s but there is a sizable cost difference. The 34s are about $400 and the 40s $600. I plan on driving the car on the road and I am just looking for something that has the ability to be drivable but also deliver the performance when called upon. Other than appearance, is there any reason to go to the 40s? It seems that the 34s would be sufficient. Thoughts?

The 40's are FAR more tuneable, and you'd get two thirds of what you paid for them if you were to sell them used. The single-throat 34's would be worth a third of what you paid, and that difference should be a good indicator of what people in general think of those two different setups. In fact what YOU'LL think about them about a year from now.
The IDF's are harder to set up, but your car will run FAR better once they're set. |
