September 21, 200718 yr Its the name that carburator game its so addicting trouble is i get mad when i cant figure it out! yea! so whats this carburator mabey some one with a little more experence on this matter could be loads of help. Its on a 87 hatch but i dont think its the origanal ea 81 or carb but im not sure so heres some pics! http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h229/lowjt/Jordan007.jpg http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h229/lowjt/Jordan006.jpg http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h229/lowjt/Jordan005.jpg there hope this works and thanks ahead of time ! spokanesoob
September 21, 200718 yr Author yea i dont know either how can you tell the diffrence i guess is what im asking is there somewhere on the carb that says it? i look good and hard but i could be blind you never know.
September 21, 200718 yr Hitachi, from the vacuum line mess coming off from it. This is what a Weber looks like:
September 21, 200718 yr crapachi ROUND weber SQUARE that should help weber has more of a square mouth on it with square butterflys. the hitachi has around mouth and you only have one butterfly in the top for the choke. am i right correct me if im wrong.
September 21, 200718 yr crapachi... QUOTE] I resent that!!! I HAVE A HITACHI JACKHAMMER!!! and it rules!
September 21, 200718 yr components match the diagram of a hitachi. I don't have anything carbed anymore but back when I did I thought they had the weber name or the hitachi symbol stamped on the side of the body didn't they? of course you usually had to clean a lot of gunk to see it
September 21, 200718 yr Author yea there was lots of gunk. this might make it easyer to rebuild the carb now is that all i need to know about the carb is what kind it is? and is there a fuel mixture adjusting screw ? thanks spokanesoob
September 22, 200718 yr crapachi ROUND weber SQUARE that should help weber has more of a square mouth on it with square butterflys. the hitachi has around mouth and you only have one butterfly in the top for the choke. am i right correct me if im wrong. Might wanna rethink that bucko... Hitachi it is since its a 2 barrel round mouth carb. If it was a single barrel round mouth, it would be a Carter-Weber which, unless you know how they work, can be more hassle then a Hitachi. Now there are people running the Weber (either a 28/32 or a 32/36 on here) or its look alike Holley 5200 which was made by Weber but has smaller barrels (GD and I discovered this after I bought one and compared) but it works better then a 32/36 when put onto an EA71.
September 22, 200718 yr That's a Hitachi - looks bone stock for an 87 Hatch. Should be a DCP-308 variant (30/28). Carter-Weber's are single barrel and are completely unlike the one pictured. Weber's (DGV, DFV, Holley 5200) are aftermarket only. GD
September 22, 200718 yr Holley 5200 which was made by Weber but has smaller barrels (GD and I discovered this after I bought one and compared) but it works better then a 32/36 when put onto an EA71. I've since found that this is only true for *some* 5200's. They were made by Holley under license from Weber and are roughly a copy of the DFV series carb with added emmissions equipment and sometimes smaller venturi's (depending on year and model they were used on). They are a crap shoot IMO and are only worth bothering with if you know how to rebuild one and get it cheap. A Weber can be had and installed (if you rebuild it yourself and buy the adaptor plate) for well under $200. But SPFI can be comparibly cheap if you have a decent source for parts. GD
September 22, 200718 yr Ahhh more info on the Holley 5200 is awesome. Only reason why I got it is cause someone had it for sale at PIR's swap meet one year for $15 and it was rebuilt:-p
September 23, 200718 yr the choke and the opening at the top of the carb both look like hitachi to me as well. I think a carter-weber is backwards from that and has different components.
September 23, 200718 yr Ahhh more info on the Holley 5200 is awesome. Only reason why I got it is cause someone had it for sale at PIR's swap meet one year for $15 and it was rebuilt:-p What PIR?? Phoenix International Raceway??? (the most uber track ever ) No It cant be.... so what is it?
September 23, 200718 yr the choke and the opening at the top of the carb both look like hitachi to me as well. I think a carter-weber is backwards from that and has different components. yes Mike but with the theory "round is Hitachi and square is Weber" is too vague especially when someone comes on here looking to see what kind of carb they have. Which is why I mentioned the Carter-Weber having a round barrel on it. PIR... Portland International Raceway
September 23, 200718 yr What PIR?? Phoenix International Raceway??? (the most uber track ever ) No It cant be.... so what is it? Sebring, Road Atlanta, and Laguna Seca are three tracks that beat PIR in the US alone.. PIR FTL bee-otch!!!! :-p Of course, Sebring hasn't been the same since they neutered the hairpin.. but still, so many different surfaces, so many bumps.. its a hairy course.
September 24, 200718 yr yeah but, PIRs better................ because... um. oh it was in that movie taxi!!! OH YEAH! although seca is in lots of things... hmmm. So what you gonna do with that carb?
