I have a mildly worked G200 (extractors, exhaust, bit of bore done i think??) and I was thinking of getting webbers. With the petrol crisis these days I don't want something that will kill me on petrol though, so what's the best set? and how much?? and is it better to get new or used???
Thanks for the replys!! |

Well if you mean webers in the plural sense then it really comes down to IDF vs. DCOE, IMHO the IDFs win on a technicality. DCOEs require the use of a nasty 'S' shaped manifold (most commonly available brand is lynx) which compromises the integrity of the system. A set of 44mm IDFs should make better power and will fit when on a 'normal' manifold. If you have them set up on a dyno then any increase in fuel consumption will correlate directly to an increase in power, that is to say that the air:fuel ratio should be the same but you are flowing more air and hence more fuel.
I deliberately mention that because there is a misconception that aftermarket carburretors 'waste' fuel.
So if fuel economy is a problem don't use the extra power, drive conservatively, or better yet, inject your gemmy. |

| Cool.. Thanks mate! Just another quick question, I heard that Webbers are illegal in Victoria. This true or false?? |
