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

The Brat/ EA81 does not have a timing belt or chain, it is all internal gear driven.

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

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 the weber carb and intake system of your choice

 

avoid the carter / weber system, as I am assuming you are trying to upgrade from

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?
