Which weber?

Post by M4tty69 »

Hi all,

Since i got my GT2 a lot of people have said 'are you going to slap a weber on it?'

apparently they give more economy aswell as a bit better performance, But which weber would i need?

Its a 1991 GT2 1.8 8V

Cheers in advance :)

Its the 32/34 dmtl. It won't make that much difference to economy or performance, its a little more responsive but not by a big amount. The main advantage is its a much simpler carb with much less to go wrong.

theoretically, it should be worse as it is smaller than the standard. but any idiot can set up the weber to run passably, where as there is probably only 3 people alive who can properly set up the pierburg
