Webers
Hi guys,
a mate of mine gave me a set of twin 40mm IDF webers and I was wondering if they would work ok on a 1640 TP with a standard cam???

yes - 40's are good for a 1600
BUT - that said, it all depends on the jetting - and that can be changed.
I reckon they need 32 vents, 135 mains and 50 idles
Others may tell you smaller.
Have a look and tell us what is in there

I would run 28MM vents other wise you will take away the driveability of the engine, will not pull from down low.

I would go with the carbs too. I agree 28 vents for a otherwise stock 1600. Would really benifit from a good exhaust and then headwork.

thanks guys, I will check the jets and go from there. One other question, do I need to take out the engine to put the weber manifolds on?

Nope 
You actually need the carbs off to fit or remove the engine.

mmm.............. putting the manifolds on is easy
getting the 34Pict manifold off is the hard part
Shoot me...................... but you also need to think about Weber Windows as well
I happily cut a hole in the side to get to the mixtures and idles.
That is better done with the motor out
The other problem is if you have "short" studs.
I had some manifold studs that were VERY short and I needed to change them
That is better done with the motor out

Really ???
Even with the windows cut in had to be a contortionist to tune my 44 IDF's... I used to get the back of the car up on stands to be able to get me arm
up under the guard easily and reach in. Ditto for when changing plugs.
Am thinkin you must have really tiny hands or somethin....

Ahaaa!......You have a Kombi, or a Karmann Ghia. [Or are you a gynecologist?].
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

You guy's must be a bunch of shiela's....I tune them regularly without holes cut. Mind you it makes for some interesting language.
Certainly easier with access holes, especially for #'s 1 & 3 sparkplug change.
Fit IDA's, heaps easier for access....lol

Hmmm.... must be a thing with different manifolds or something... with IDF's in my '70 engine bay, no way in hell would you get the idle jets out
without the access holes.
But oh well - EFI now, so it's just sit in the driver's seat and play with the laptop for me !!!

problems tuning them , and my hands are big.

So I checked out the jets on the weekend, it has 140 mains, 45 idle and 32 vents. I should hopefully get the manifolds and linkages on the weekend,
what is the likelyhood that it will run ok with the current jets?
Cheers

It'll run, but I'd expect larger idles will be needed.

I have a good selection, most are $8 each. You'll normally pay alot more than that. Feel free to PM me once you know what you need.

Hi again,
So i finally received the empi inlet manifolds and went to fit them this weekend and had some issues.
firstly the studs were too short and secondly the manifolds need a fair bit pushing to get them past the tin wear, so I decided to pull the engine out
to fit them.
removed the engine replaced the studs with longer ones then fitted the manifolds, all going well so I thought I better check the webers mounted ok
before I put the engine back in. To my surprise the webers hit the fan shroud, I am using 40mm IDF's and I thought they should go straight on. has
anyone had any issues in the past? do i need a different fan shoud?
One thing I need to point out is the the webers are quite old (manual chokes) and were originally off a mates Gemini, I would have thought that 40mm
IDF's are all the same? any thoughts?

And it'll still be tight, sometimes needing panel beating. Best with a 36hp style fan housing, but then the replacement ones still often need work
for German compatibility
Not all manifolds are created equal.

I actually cut the both sides off my fan shroud to get my 40 idfs on my baja, we then patched it up and painted it. looked like balls though.

ok thanks guys, I have had a look at some photos online of engine bays with the webers and most of them seem to have a seamless fan shroud, mine has a
seam which sticks out, maybe its an old one. I will buy a new dog house one this week and see how I go.
If I block off the chokes does the engine still start ok?

Agree with matt, 50idles and maybe 135 mains with a 28mm vent, then with a little head work and exhaust 32mm vents and 140 mains.
