for a 1600 tp i would go for a set of cadrons with an exhaust upgrade to extractors not sure of hp gain but it go go better and as for fuel usage
should not be excessive it will depend on your driving flatout a lot of fuel safe good fuel
good luck

40mm dellorto's or webers. fit smaller venturi's and adjust jetting to suit your engine. Add a quality exhaust system for more efficiency.

Kadrons. A second-hand set is cheap and cheerful and with a 009 distributor and a set of cheapie extractors, will make it more lively

5-10% gain in power..............remember a 1600 isn't pumping out big HP !! With the Kadrons you will feel a lot more torque, so it will feel like
it has added a lot more HP... Just make sure you upgrade the exhaust as well.

yeh its a baja super in the making... see how it goes....
so extractors and headers are the same thing??
some fella has a pair of 32/36 webers for 100 bux, no manifolds are they worth it??

progressive linkage 32/36 weber would work well. All you need to get is the right manifold.

I had a thought, I could be dreaming, but what about a drawthrough turbo setup. Probably cost about the same cash as a kadrons, manifolds and linkage
and would make for a bigger torque/power increase. You'd have to be careful about overboosting it, but premium unleaded would help.
What do you think stanley?

where abouts are you? If you are in NSW, your motor can't be modded on P plates anyway.

The progressives will work but only as a single, unless you do some interesting engineering.

Yes, you use the stock end manifolds and the centre mount manifold then goes straight into them. BTW, a word of warning, the EMPI brand has had
negative things said about the quality of the it's weber reproductions. If you can, I think you might find a rebuilt italian or spanish 2nd handie
might be better than a brand new chinese EMPI. I may be wrong on this, but everything I'm hearing from experienced carb users in the states says EMPI
stuff is not great. This is added to the colourful reputation the progressive has on VWs. I've personally heard great things about the use of weber
progressives on subarus, old peugeots and escorts, so I can't see why VWs engines would be any different, but there you go.
Your other alternative is to try and find a set of cheap 36idfs like I did. They were on Alfa 33s. These are great little carbs and would be well
suited for an offroad 1600.
