Weber carb vs su carb

[So_nice]

while searching for financing company to loan for the starlet, i was offered one starlet by the 2nd hand car dealer. according to him the said starlet is running on weber carb..my question is..

 

1. is weber carb necessary for normal ep80?

2. will the fc be alot higher compared to su carb?

3. is the maintenance higher for the weber carb?

contact Uzi, he's now the walking dictionary for weber carbs.

Put twin webbers. Maintenance is not higher & easy to change jettings.

 

But if the weber is very old & worn, there might b problems & getting spares nowadays might b tricky.

ic..

 

the major concern is about the loan. some tricky parts i have overlooked. like agreement fees for the loan and stuffs..

i have own a few starlets in my life... any all i can say is think too much . and you might as well as chop off the balls off a raging bull. Weber is fine, if fact you might have a bit more of a performance then a regular jap carb.. and crab is proably the on;y thing that will give you better performance in a non// fuel injected car/

go for it... don't think too ,much(like every singaporean) as long as the engine is sound. it would be a steal...

anyway. to go back to a OE is only less than 300 plus labour.

Starlet is the best budget car you can get... thrust me

The real question here is what do you want?

 

In all honesty, is the weber necessary? NO. Stock carbs can still power your starlet.

FC higher? MOST DEFINATELY. More power = more fuel consumption

Maintenance higher? YES. settings can run. This is where the SU comes into play, almost maintenance free.

 

However, if you want power, than don't think too much. Just weber it!

agree with what daniel said,

why not you just get the car and get used to driving it for about 1 year first,

then decide on what you wanna do wit it.

like me, im still on the utmost stock 1E carb, but with some tweaking and caring, i enjoy performence all around the corners too, except for the straights. that's about all, and i'm happy with it, cause i'm getting 18km/l :)

[So_nice]

18km/l??

 

how did u do it?

[Dionyeo]

run stock and take care of the engine :)

[Swiftboi]

mines i tried before with 1e engine whole car stock lah, full tank can go abt 580km but the 'e' light pop out dun dare to off the engine find a nearest to refuel.

OK.

 

If you like sound. Weber is good. The carburetor roar from the Weber is like a lion calling out. I believe it is a top draft DCNF that is found in the carburetted Lambos and Ferraris.

 

If jetted properly, the FC will not kill you. But a Weber is like a high end PC. Lots of parts and gaskets. Must maintain and clean up the muck. Spoil, must buy elsewhere. Therefore expensive.

 

SU is very simple. It is organic 2-in-1 shampoo. Set it drive it. That's it. No need to maintain. Even the original carburetor needs to maintain. SU carburetors can be bought from up north. Use the Iswara's 1.3 carburetor. However, to fit the SU, you need the special intaike manifold. Weber just fit some adaptor piece on it.

Even the original carburetor needs to maintain

 

What sort of maintenance are necessary?

 

So for carburattor toyota engine there are 3 types of carburattor? The stock, weber and SU? Any quick way to identify which is which? Thanks.

[Swiftboi]

hmmm..... the roaring sound.

[Swiftboi]

can the inlet manifold be customized? how much?

[Kozmix]

i never heard of SU carb before..

whats it stand for? is it a carb that can fit on any carb cars?

[So_nice]

for the carbs anyways to tell the diff?

[Swiftboi]

last time singapore got dealership to find parts for those gasket and jetting for weber now if any spoil u have to go north or far far place to find it. So i think best to stick to something can be done at our local or nearby only maybe jaybee.

[So_nice]

like tat weber carb seems kinda of diffcult to maintain.
