Title: Carb Question for 1.6 8v swap
Post by: SNJSamurai on February 15, 2012, 06:56:24 PM

Im in the process in finishing my 1.6 swap in my samurai.

I used the 1.3 intake manifold and I am wondering if a Weber Carb would be a waist of money and I should just keep the stock 1.3 carb?


Thanks

I use the weber carb with the same set up. I bought a jet pac and tuned it. It gets into the power band by 1900 rpm and keeps building until 4500 rpm. I do have a torque cam and it runs much smother than the 1.3.

The Weber will give a lot more power, the stock 1.3 carb is quite restrictive on the 1.3 and more so on the 1.6.

Sorry about the really late replies guys. School, Work, Etc.

I read on ACKs about the toyota carb but it was a little confusing. Is there a better explanation?


Thanks

Why didn't you use the fuel injection that came with the engine?

Boxcar, I sent you a PM.
I am very much interested in putting a corolla carb on a 1.6L 8V in my Samurai. Actually I would like to put it on my 1.3L until I can find a 1.6L and then do a full swap. Is that a possibility?

I found these on ebay (http://www.aaaaautomotive.com/Items/64-9249?&caSKU=64-9249&caTitle=New%2071%2072%20Corolla%201.6L%20Remanufactured%202BBL%20Carburetor)
Will it work or does it have to be a 1976 77 carb? They are both for the 2TC engine.
