Weber 32/34

[SKoob]

I have a 1.3SR its got a weber 32/34 on it, i was wondering if there are any different types of this carb. Or is there just 1 type of 32/34. I am having trouble finding an airfilter for it :? Does anyone else have a 1.3SR with a weber 32/34 and has found an airfilter that fits? Where did u buy it from, what make is it? I don't wanna drive it like it is :? All its got is a little box thingy that has no element, and isn't designed for one.

yep piperx and k&n do them. u might need to take the box u refer to off?

got any pics? u shud be able to see the buterfly valves on the top of the carb, and then a couple of screw holes around the outside at the top of carb? a plate mounts on this, then the filter ontop of the plate

i found a pic of what i got on ebay, when i tired to upload it to the album on novaload, it said there was no room. I have no website so i can't put it up

ram air do them, ade has the part number for it, he says they are the best cause they let air in from above aswell as sides.

i have found an air filter and baseplate made by a company called ITG, r they anygood?

[Dicko]

yes but usualy expensive!!

and ade says cos mike told him first :D

[ade]

you want a base plate for the 32/34 and the filter itself - codes are rs2,239 with 40mm filter top (the foam bit)

ramair have a website - think its ramair-filters.com - could be .co.uk and could be less the minus sign. do search on google.

Look under weber 32/34 - gives you the various makes

Make sure 40mm filter top as any higher will hit bonnet

heres the bit i was on about

pic don't work

[SKoob]

so r there diff types of 32/34??? :|

[mikeoxford]

so r there diff types of 32/34??? :|

nope

there are three diffrent types of ramair filter for the 32 /34 though

what sorta performance am i looking at, if setup properly, and a performance back box?

[mikeoxford]

what sorta performance am i looking at, if setup properly, and a performance back box?

well as a comparison use this

on a book figure of 82BHP engine. i saw 93BHP with a mongoose stainless steel exhaust system, weber 32 34 and a janspeed 4 branch manifold.

so with them mods i got 11 BHP

[SKoob]

I take it thats a 1.4SR then?

[mikeoxford]

I take it thats a 1.4SR then?

nope it was a carbed 1.6 engine, with a VERY cr@p head, more restrictive than anything ive ever known to man, shouldda seen the size of the ports! it was similar in characteristics (square ports etc etc) as a 1.4SR and also it had a VERY shit cam in, the astra or cav? car it came from was not a sporty model, engine code 16SV and the cam is as flat as your nans t!ts. the engine was built for economy for performance.

so i whacked on some twin 40s, put in a kent ast2 cam. B+ head.

then the bottom end went :lol: it was weak to start with though. just novas knew it. and gave me a replacement bottom end.

thats a cavvy carb top box and its prolly been fitted because the original airbox wouldve hit the bonnet

you could just do what ive done and fit a cone filter to the end of it/its pipe

what is there at the moment out of interest? a nova sri box or summat?

[rgv_stu]

so r there diff types of 32/34??? :|
yup - the 32/34 just refers to the throttle plate size


aragorn i got a similar one to that but it doesnt need the adapter plate fitting so will sit closer to the carb. it also has a loverly breather hose connection too :)
i will post a pic when i get a chance

[SKoob]

will the difference in type affect performance??

[MC]

Most people don't get the full benefits of a 32/34 coz they dont match the manifold to the carb. You need to enlarge the manifold entance to match the carb size otherwise the restriction is still there. You can also modify the butterflies, and a simple ram pipe setup would also help.

[SKoob]

how do i go about matching the manifold? is it best to take it somehwhere to be done?

[MC]

Yeah, prob best done by someone with the right tools.

CP is an expert at porting and matching!

MC

[SKoob]

CP? anyoen on here that lives near me that wud consider doing this? I live in wiltshire

[rgv_stu]

just buy a burr and do it yourself

i done a few now and its easy peasy

its a secret mike ;)

[mikeoxford]

its a secret mike ;)

:cry:

[beghy]

'You can also modify the butterflies'

HOW? :o

[rgv_stu]

you will have to search the scrapies like i did ;)

or wait for someone on here to tell me whats its off :D is it off a vaux? will i find it on EPC?

[rgv_stu]

the new novaload competition is to find out what its off ;)

or i could sell you this one for ?100 :)

[Aragorn]

aint vaux

we need to find cars that had them fitted as standard since thats the only kinda car thats gonna have a box like that specially made for the carb

[rgv_stu]

aragorns on the right lines :)
it is a factory fit item and its not vauxhall
first clue is that it aint off a landrover which was the only vehicle with a 32/34dmtl as standard ;)

any guesses yet :lol:

[MC]

Fiesta XR2?

[SKoob]

is it a fiat?

[rgv_stu]

no and no

good game this :lol:

http://www.novaload.net/forums/album_see.php?id=822 This is a pic i found in the album submiited by snowface, is this machined for a 32/34 weber? if so howe did u do it or where did u get it done? :?

[Will]

yes it is, thats on my car now :P:P

will be T40 soon i hope

[SKoob]

so u wud be selling that manifold then? if so how much u want for it?

[rgv_stu]

i did that manifold and will (novanutter) bought it job lot with the weber i had

its a normal manifold with weber adapter plate on and then ground out to suit.

[SKoob]

so what tools did u use? :? what diff in perfromance does a machined inlet manifold have?

[rgv_stu]

a burr and a die grinder

if you just fit the weber adapter you are still in effect flowing thru the same ports as the pierburg did summot like 26/28mm so by opening out the manifold you can make more use of the 32/34 mm weber throttle openings. what i have done is much better but not perfect as the manifold could do to be a bit bigger. there is still a step at the front of the carb adapter although i have smoothed it as best i could
