Australia Weber kit specs

[MasterTec]

I see an Australian company is selling Webers for the Festiva:

It's a hefty price tag that's for sure!

Does anyone have any experience with this, and does anyone know the Jet sizes that are used with this kit?

[DriverOne]

Yeah, that's pretty expensive... I guess you pay for bolt-on. It is REALLY nice, though.

[Bert]

It's pricey for sure but boy would I love to go back to maintaining a mechanically operated vehicle without electronic sensors or controls. Webers were lusted over 4 decades ago by slalom racers and were always more of less out of reach to hobbyists even then.

OK I ended up just asking him what jets are in that kit. Here's the response:

Main Pri 120, Sec 140
Air Pri 160, Sec 170
Idle Pri 60, Sec 50
Emul F50, F66 (F6)

^Nice im gonna need to get a better intake for mine, matt dickmeyer told me the stock carb intake is a horrible design, when i get some more money i would like to work with him to build a better one.

[drddan]

!!!! Whoa! That IS expensive!

...and its nothing really but a Weber 32/36 carb you can buy here for about $265. Only issue would be the adaptor to fit the Festiva intake pattern, and its not hard to make one! (I did!)

i have that setup on my car and have been running it for almost a year i drive over 4,000miles a month and my car runs great. just bolted it on and it is silky smooth and the power of the car is much improved

^^^ you never had to change the jets?

Re: Australia Weber kit specs

Like I said in the other thread. You could get away with putting it on and running it without tunning it but chances are very slim jets would be right. When I got my weber it came with 150 main jets and it ran fine, I drove it for about 2 weeks before jetting because the back of my car was covered in black crap and my gas mileage was way down. I went from 150 mains to 100 primary and 120 secondary, which is a pretty big change. Now my case I was running way rich which explains the black crap on the back of my car...if you were to put the carb on and run it and it was very lean, then you run the risk of damage to the engine. Lean condition will burn your valves in a fairly short period of time.

You know what you could do is ask and see if anybody who owns one of the australian ones would be willing to look at the jets and see what comes in it.
