Hey!!!!
SparkyZA
How are things going on your side?

Yes, yes, welcome, we've grown the ZA members quite a lot in the past few months.

36 Weber gives good power, and should be on par with the SU's in most respects. However you might notice a slight improvement in fuel consumption with the SU's even when you trap it a bit down the coast between Camp's and Landadno... very nice sights, and lovely twisties...

No, I just lived there for 7 odd years, moved back to Petoors about a year ago.

Have a look at Rowland Manifolds they make all kinds of manifolds for all kinds of cars. I wonder if they would make a manifold for the A series to bolt on a set of throttles from the 20V Toyotas...? That'd give you plenty more power, and electronic control.

What I do notice though, is that they make a set of "Toyota Throttle Bodies to DCOE" intakes. Maybe that's an option...

If you only want to know about "power" (not fuel economy, throttle response, etc). Then a good condition 32/36 will in general make more power. The 32/36 setup flows from 235 to 330 cfm depending on venturi size, far more than twin Hitachis. See 32/36 Carburetor.

On an A12 or stock A14 it would be a wash (the A12GX only put out 83 horsepower), but with modified cylinder head, camshaft and exhaust the 32/36 appropriately tuned should be superior.

HEHE... I i'm also South-Africa, wanted to know the same thing with my bakkie. I have a 36 dcd7 weber on a maus performance intake with a 272 cam and speed spot custom brance and free flow... weber's always have a dead spot... but they do sound #$#$#$#$ awesum. Anyways let us know about the stats. my bakkie make's 38 at the wheels. :(

going 2 south africa in april, flying out on the 31st of march, looking forward 2 seeing the dattos.

wasup u guys. Ok, here's the thing. Got the twin su in garage and the adapter plate. Only need the linkage between the 2 carbs. Phoned 2 places who could help, but sounds like the su's won't make a real performance difference(from what i here on forum so far).

Any suggestions on what whould be the best performance carb setup for it, without being way expensive.

38/38 weber ?

oke it depends on what you did to the engine, if you want real power put side draughts on it. They aren't so expensive to come by. Got my set of 40's for R600. But i'm tired of strugling with a 36/36 dcd 7. the 32/36 is alot easier to get to work. But the power difference ... eish.

As said before. There is only one way.
Put the Su's on and see how they feel.
Maybe you will like the better fuel economy,throttle responce or torque.
By the way. We all are curious what differance it will make comparing to the 36 weber.

@Clive.
R600 is a damn good price for sidedrafts.
Here in Bloem they go for at least R900.
How does your bakkie feel now comparing how it was before.
Is it difficult to start in the mornings when still cold?

If i get sidedrafts for say R1000 +-.What other conversions or parts etc. whould i need to buy. I need =- a total cost to get it on my bakkie. I get @ moment 48 kw on wheel (motor is 60.5 kw). What difference whould a sidedraft make.

Well it has been mentioned before a Rowlands intake would work :) and they are in cpt. Then a Surge tank to give fuel evenly to the draughts and linkage and a 4 to 1 branch.

Haha well it starts ... takes awhile to get to work properly though. but i get this white smoke from my exhause if it idle's... to lean, to rich ? :( can't be my rings or mechanical because with my 36 36 it idle's clean.
