I am thinking of putting a weber carb (32/36) into my '94 vitara.
Has any one had any experience with this mod?
Thanks.

How did you go? What questions do you have? You will have to do a few mods first but it shoukd be fine. Is it a d/d? I dont run a choke on mine but only needs about 30 seconds of light throttle to be able to idle.
Big power increase and alot easier to work on once you mod it to reduce it flooding of road.

I hav'nt done it yet (but i will be), i was just after oppinions on wether it was a worthwhile mod.
What are the things i will need to do for off-road use and what are the mods you mention?

You will need to seal the fuel bowl and re vent it to stop fuel covering the air jets on downhills as the weber works best on "backwards" you will also have to set the float correctly. They do have problems but a hell of a lot cheaper and easier to rebuild than the stock carb and has a big power increase. I ran mine for years without do anything other than unbolt it of a cortina at the wreckers and bolt it straight onto my zook backwards and was happy but now Ive been fine tuning to get even more out of it. If you want some more info got to www.zuwharrie.com and search webers and read anything by sarge he is an absolute wiz on these things.

I read a thread on www.offroad.com about whats better for a toyota (2.4l??) a 32/36 or 38 and it was half and half so it should be enough for a 1.6
