romcat Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 Hey: Just got an 86 4WD Wagon, my first Sube. I've seen mention on the web of swapping out the stock card (Hitachi?) for a Weber. Can anyone clue me in as to the pro's and con's? Thanks, Romcat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHATBRAT Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 I agree, I used to use CAPS when I got on here because I was too lazy to capitalize the letters that needed it and I thought it looked better but after many complaints, hints, nagging and begging I crossed over to " the other side" It's not bad, come on over. Don't be afraid. As for the Weber, I don't think there is any Cons, It's all Pros from what I hear. Some people have a little trouble with the install but that's the only negative thing I have heard. Not too bad from what I understand,. Everyone that had trouble got through it with the help of the great people on this board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romcat Posted December 5, 2003 Author Share Posted December 5, 2003 OK Sube fella's what's the weber model commomnly used? I'm looking for better throughput but in drivable power, not maximum power at some unusable rpm. BTW is there a K&N filter for the stock airfilter box? Cheers, Romcat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom63050 Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 You want the Weber 32/36, very common carb used on many cars. Comes with air filter if you buy a new one. Try http://www.webercarburetor.com or http://www.redline.com . You will also need the two-piece adaptor. You may have to go to the hardware store to get the proper screws for the adaptor. As I recall my kit from Redline for my 86 wagon required me to do so; no big deal. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 romcat, this forum has a very good search function In the box at the bottom of the forum page type "Weber 32/36" Some very good post, threads I believe you will go DGEV and not look back (the EV is for Electric Valve as in choke) all explained in the posts Good luck and welcome aboard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
