GR86BRAT Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 (edited) i'm confused as to whether the 86' Brat GL EA81 has a timing belt/chain or not. Can anyone help me on this? Also Is it better to do a Hitachi carb upgrade or a Weber 32/36 replacement? Thanks Edited January 17, 2009 by GR86BRAT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bratman18 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 (edited) Thanks Bratman 18, Any views on the Hitachi upgrade or Weber 32/36 replacement? I've seen a lot of people using the weber. I personally have the fuel injection conversion done to my Brat so I can't help with specifics Edited January 17, 2009 by bratman18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subiemech85 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 4 gears run the system rear crank drives rear cam, rear cam, front crank drives dist, dist. you can upgrade to ea82 hitachi carb and intake system -- this is the current method that yields good results and 20+mpg in gen3 wagon, cruises right along at 3k rpm you can upgrade to ea81 hitachi carb and intake system you can upgrade to the weber carb and intake system of your choice avoid the carter / weber system, as I am assuming you are trying to upgrade from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GR86BRAT Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 (edited) Thanks subiemech85, I currently have the regular Hitachi system on my car but it seems acording to post here that the weber setup is much better. I was happy with that info until I seen a Hitachi upgrade post. Which one gives the most bang for the buck?
