August 17, 201015 yr back to life! Now, has anyone ever done this or heard of this? Twin webers on a dual carb EA-81. I found another one at a wrecking yard today with a subaru adapter! So either i am going to slap this weber on the motor currently in my wagon, or i am going to have a dual weber EA-81. MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! There are a couple of issues you will most likely run into trying this. One i think the carbs are going to be too close together if you are using the traditional 32/36. The other is tuning. You are going to basically have to start from scratch as the tuning for a single weber is going to be completely off if you do duals on the same motor. Finding the right jets and getting all the transitions right is going to be a pain. If you can get them to bolt down next to eachother then your halfway there. I would recommend getting a wideband honestly and tune it using that since there will be a lot more to mess with with two webers.
August 21, 201015 yr Why not just Overhaul those dual Hitachi's thats what I plan with My Dual carb EA81. These are a full mechanical setup no vacuum operated secondary and already factory jetted so why would you change them. Yes with a US spec Polution Vac secondary Hitachi or Worse then a Weber conversion makes sense,however with these carbs being a specific performance model made to suit the Engine it doesn't strike me as smart to throw them away. When you fit this setup on a normal EA81 then the cam and porting differences will require some jetting changes. People out here in Australia have had both the Dual carb setup on a standard EA81 and unfortunately for them A dual Carb engine without the Manifold and carbs. Consensus is that the performance improvement from either option is similar so when you have both together it is a major upgrade,after all whether it is the 108HP version or the Homologation special 120 HP version both well and truly exceed the Turbo EA81 let alone a stocker or the USDM model.
August 25, 201015 yr Author I need a throttle linkage to hook the carbs together. My engine didnt come with one. So either i need to jimmy something or i need to find a supplier of EA-81 dual carb parts (LOL)
August 25, 201015 yr Aircraft guys. EAA is it? http://www.eaa.org/ Looks like you need to join to find Classifieds. Good luck. I'm sure there's a couple other places you might do well hunting at.
August 25, 201015 yr Author I was thinking about pulling the throttles off of regular carbs and rigging a cable system. might work, or there might not be enough room...
August 25, 201015 yr Factory linkage was a bar so that the cable would go to one side and open both carbs the same amount at the same time. Dual cables? I dont think that will work but prove me wrong!
August 25, 201015 yr The factory cable had a bar at the end I have one I'll try to get pics for you If I can find It It may be a few days (in texas right now on a job) I'll post them when I get back home Edited August 25, 201015 yr by 84gl
August 26, 201015 yr Not sure if they'll be helpful, but these are the best pictures I have of the stock throttle and choke setup. I can't take new ones because I just sent my engine off to storage.
August 26, 201015 yr I can't take new ones because I just sent my engine off to storage. If by storage u mean my house then thank you
August 26, 201015 yr If by storage u mean my house then thank you Well, it did go east, but not that far. Haha
