Hi, Ken....Check out
Mazdatrix. On their home page, click on racing, then click on
Weber IDA carbs, and you will see that they have both the 48mm and the
51mm. The 48mm costs $575.00, and the bored-out 51mm, part
number 16602, sells for $850.00.
If I thought this would bolt right on to a manifold, and have
provisions for leaning at altitude, my EFI would go back in the
closet. Did I say I like to keep it simple, no high pressure
pumps, fuel sumps with fuel returns, MAP settings to deal with,
etc? I find it much easier to simply lean the mixture with
altitude than to try to set up all this fancy EFI system. Thanks
for the info. Paul Conner
Way to much as I gave $350 for
my 48 and the 51 was the same but they were out and the 55mm was about
$500 as I recall.
The leaning system that I have on my
Weber work fine up to 16,000 ft which is about the top end for my
coot.
There are pros and cons to a carb vs
injection and a thought that I have had is to run a Weber as a
throttle body for injection but have a switch to change from the
injection to the carb, very redundant but more complex but all it
would add over injection is one extra pump
