Twin Webbers And Stage 2? Cam .... Worth?


Recommended Posts

Do a search for webers on ebay and you will find that $350 is a bargain... BUT, if the webers need a rebuild, jetting, dyno tuning etc so they run right on your car (and they probably will) that $350 is going to rapidly turn into $1350.

You'd be better of getting a cam and a nistune remap then carbs. Carbs are way cool but if the need a rebuild then it will be expensive, plus theres all the tuning issues that come with them (they can fall out of tune, altitude affects them also).

But if you want them then yeah $350 is damn cheap, but you'll need triple webbers not twin. When running carbs you'll run them on there own manifold or a custom manifold, so it could be hard/expensive to get a manifold, running carbs on the rb30 isnt exacly common but should wield some fantastic results if tuned right, not to mention the orgasmic sound it'll make :)

Have you thought about a turbo? Either way the carbs or a turbo will be an instant defect, where as a remapped ecu and just a cam should be impossible to spot :)

What everyone else said.

Plus its illegal to pull efi off and go back to carb.

Could argue that the motor was out of a patrol though? (they are carby)

Extractors, exhaust, nistune maybe a small cam.

GTS2's had 142kw at the flywheel, only had the above mods (had a piggyback style ecu, not nistune tho)

    • Yeah they sure are available for import now, its great news Matt, You need an import specialist insurer, nothing has really changed over the years about the mainstream insurance companies not touching them. I have my cars with Lumley (same group as NRMA etc) because they insure imports and have a good concept of "stable use" where as long as no more than 2 cars are being driven each day you can have them all on a good rate, I've also had no issues with claims through them. Note they won't insure a car if you take it to the track, even for an off track claim. Shannons are another option but I had a lot of trouble with their claims (they were happy to take the premiums, not so keen to pay out), and I'm sure there are other import specialists too 
    • I'm a lifelong home drummer, was in a couple of bands as a teenager/early 20's then moved to Japan and didn't play at all until 2019 when my missus and I were invited to check out the band room upstairs at a restaurant cafe here in JP. They had a full acoustic drum kit and they let me have a bash for about 20 mins. I went away from there wondering how I could not play for 19 years.... Missus bought me a e-drum kit a few weeks later (Yamaha DTX402) which is basic but lets me play at home in my tiny Japanese house.  Also have an Epiphone Les Paul and little Vox amp and delay pedal I bought for the missus because she wanted to learn to play the guitar, but she never got into it. That was about 8 years ago. I taught myself to play some 80's U2 song riffs like the Fly solo, etc and some other things but being a drummer I don't really have the dexterity in the fingers lol. Ham fisted if you will. So I kind of just mess around with the guitar rather than try to seriously play complete songs. My son on the other hand inherited all my side of the family's musical talent and is a brilliant classical pianist at 16 years old. He'll go on to do something in the music industry here for sure once he finished his schooling. I got him a Yamaha NU1XA hybrid piano earlier this year.
    • If the BOV is plumbed in as mentioned, like stock.... why exactly would it stall? It'd be like stock. Do stock cars stall with stock bovs?
    • You mean a rich spike, as the air has been metered multiple times due to the turbulent air, you end up injecting more fuel causing a momentary dip in torque and quite possibly a stall event. TL;DR, install a Haltech Elite or S3 or R3, convert to DBW, throw all ancient shit into the bin and enjoy the car.
