Carbs,
Best drivability are Dellortos 36mm for your engine. Next would be Webers, Italian, Spain, avoid all else unless you have to. These will be 40mm 44 and 48 are to big. BTW, them Germans being crafty bastards happened to us carbs, on some of the European 914s. And I am not talking 914-6s I am talking -4s Some times you can find these also. I would also not shy away from the single barrel dual carb units on a basic 1.7L build. Used a lot in the VW crowd, and a re a good little carb if your not looking for big numbers. Here is a set of Redline Weber single carbs, $419 not sure of quality And a good article on understanding VW carbs. And Ebay Dell 36mm complete kit, there about, you will also need a fuel pump. I like the CB Performance Rotaries. |

I like the CB Performance Rotaries. I think the redlines you had the link for seems perfectly doable But the photo showed the manifolds that didnt seem to be for a 914? But being as my 1sr car was a baja bug and my neighbors builds class 5 bajas . They always use a single carb dual throat weber over dual setup With dual port curved manifold and the carb in a airbox I guess its easier to protect 1 vs 2 No cross linkage No multiple fuel lines Since it will be taking a beating they avoid the dual setup So i wouldn't be opposed to that setup But any guy selling a single carb 914 manifold is probably a asshole (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) |
