[Mk2] [NA] Twin Webers
Hi I am in the process of purchasing twin 40 weber downdraught carbs for my rev 1 and wondered if anyone knows of any issues on fitting them before I buy them.
Thanks

Yeah with careful tuning you might make a tad more power than the efi system.
You will never get close to the fuel economy that the efi system has though.![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)

I had
twin Webers on a 1.6 NA MX5.![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)

Sounded absolutely lovely, on a standard 1.6 engine it would have been about 115 bhp from factory but it was making around 130/135 bhp.
Great throttle response too.
The fuel economy was never that bad or not enough for me to be bothered or notice.

Hadnt thought about them on a MR2 but sounds a good idea.![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)

Carbs are a compromise for most of the rev range.
there are a couple of points where they come into their own.

ITBs with injectors would be a better setup.![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
