Looks different to my DCNF weber.

Have you tried doing an image search on google?


barls - February 28th, 2005 at 03:16 PM

maybe a dcn or similar its definately a twin non progressive i think i can make out the webber trademark on teh top but not sure


~air fooled~ - February 28th, 2005 at 03:21 PM

yeah its a webber.. nah i havent tried an image search, farkin good idea though! so what do you reckon barls, a good bit of gear or pissweak?


~air fooled~ - February 28th, 2005 at 03:22 PM

as in what does progressive mean?


barls - February 28th, 2005 at 03:33 PM

it should be good mate, a progressive is one that opens more as the throttle is increased. this one looks like a twin non progressive ie like twin carbs but in the one housing ie 1 throat for each side

It is a syncronis Weber-non progressive (both barrels operate at the same time).They go well on the 1600.They work the best when run flat out. Use an EFI fuel fliter on the inlet as they block up easily,otherwise good choice.:P

oh awesome sounds the shit... thanks heaps mick and barls!

well flat out is what you want on the beach. flat out in 2nd, and hard all day. so then this should be good. :cool:

Definetely either a DCN or DCNF weber.

Dont run more than 3psi fuel pressure on them as it overpowers the needle and seat and overfills the fuel bowl.

Good all round carby - significantly better than standard, esp for a car that will cop a flogging.


~air fooled~ - February 28th, 2005 at 04:37 PM

gets better and better eh! hahaha... i will be just usin the conventional mechanical fuel pump so over 3psi shouldnt be a problem should it? car will deffinitely be flogged...

Keep clear of the frosty mornings if ever you drive south. That modified manafold will freeze because it is not heated and out in the air. Had heaps of trouble with my 2L motor and webber set up. But I live in Central NSW not Brisbane


~air fooled~ - March 1st, 2005 at 08:24 AM

the manifold is modified!? as in how? this gets better and better! :):)

yes it's a great carby, but looking at the first pic the gasket needs a good haircut. I know it don't look much but it is. plus the stock filters are hopeless cause they let to much crap in.

The one I have looks the same (manifolds the same as well) and I've never than a problem with it..... but then I don't have problems with kadron ever.....;)

oh yep i see what your talkin bout mate, little brown buggers goin around the barrel... will get onto that... what filter set up you using moose? got a pic? it came without the filter so im lookin for ideas... obviously a high flowing filter that can handle sand and dirt bein thrown at it... ive seen some people running k&n pod filters that are mounted vertically... whats the deal when it rains?? these keep the water out?

I'll see if I can did it up for ya today........ and take a pic
I used and 8" pod style K&n with a micro sock over the top
the mount was home made using 1mm alloy and a tig.....lol

RamFlo do filters for DCN's and DCNF's. I've never had a problem with them, but I aint a 'dune man' like moose is.

The carby I have set aside for 1.8L type 4 for the baja is a 40DCNF with a ramflow.


~air fooled~ - March 1st, 2005 at 12:46 PM

yeah that'd be great mate, thanks, no hurry though...


~air fooled~ - March 1st, 2005 at 12:48 PM

all pics appreciated! :D ive gotta buy/fabricate the adaptor also...
