April 21, 200520 yr I've heard a lot of good about the weber carbs but i want to ask your opinion. Im thinking about putting one on my EA-81. Will it make a big difference in the way the car accelerate? Will it cure my cold engine hessitation? Is it clear how to hook up all those damn hoses under the hood to the new carb?
April 21, 200520 yr Do it. You wont be disappointed. They're a biatch to tune, but when they're right, boy they're right. My 32/36DGEV rocks.. if I ever part with my Brat, the Weber stays with me to go onto the next roo.
April 21, 200520 yr Yes, they are very good. It's not bad to install and the vacume hose mess disappears!
April 21, 200520 yr Is there a noticable improvement in performance with the weber carb? how much does it cost? Does it improve fuel economy? My wagon is only getting 22-23 MPG's and I sure miss the 30MPG's that the EA81's were giving me the last 10 years! Edit: can someone tell if this is the correct carb or not? http://www.stoveboltengineco.com/acartpro/product.asp?productid=95 it doesn't say what model/size it is, so didn't know. For $65 vs. what I'm seeing them go for on ebay, etc. - good deal if it's the right one...... Or http://www.stoveboltengineco.com/acartpro/product.asp?productid=97 Or http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7969644177&category=33550 ???????
April 21, 200520 yr car will run smoother. choke problems dissapear, more power, mileage will be better or remain the same, most of those hoses don't need to be hooked up, you will just take them off. it will sound better and look cool. what else? do it.

For $65 vs. what I'm seeing them go for on ebay, etc. - good deal if it's the right one...... that doesn't look quite right. it may be the holly weber 5200, wich i think will be less powerful. it is a very similar carb and will work on a soobie, but it's not quite the same as a weber 32/36 dgev (or av the one in the pic has water choke like av. i say go with ev the electric choke) i had problems with hitachi carbs for YEARS! i am nothing but happy with my weber.
April 21, 200520 yr Had the Weber on my Brat for 3.5 years now and it really does simplify life, you can actually see all of the motor now. Just took my 195/75/14 allterrains off two tanks ago and installed a pair of 195/70/13s that I had in the barn to check mpg with the odometer reading right for a change, 29.5 mpg average between two tanks of gas. The Weber really adds good bottom end power to my Brat, I would say go for it.
April 21, 200520 yr looks like I'll have to save up for one - they are a spendy unit! And one if I sold the car would stay with me! LOL!
April 29, 200520 yr Author Thanks for all your input guys. Ive decided to go ahead and buy it this summer. I need more power!!
April 29, 200520 yr yes go ahead , at first mine on my 84 brat really fkgkgkfol , but after everything was hooked up right it is great ,
April 30, 200520 yr a Weber will make your Subaru the ultimate machine. but I dunno, I don't even own one, nor can I afford one... lol.
