Ok, I'm aware some people wont like this. I'm aware dept of transport also wouldnt like this....
But I'm interested anyway.
Early 3rz's ran a distributor of sorts, i believe the later ones still have the hole in the head for the dizzy, just blanked off.
I'm just wondering whether it would be a massive backwards step performance wise to convert an efi 3rz to carb and dizzy.
My reasons are simple, I just really like webers/dellortos :) . They sound hot!
By my way of thinking an efi 3rz is a 2.7L four which makes about 150hp (flywheel) at 4500-5000ish rpm. Lots of 2L 4 cyls can make that at high rpm with webers, so I'm guessing the carbs wouldnt know if they happen to be on a 2L 4cyl making 150hp at 7500-8000 rpm or a 2.7 making 150 at 4500 rpm?
Anyway was just wondering what the general consensus was from other people, from a performance point, disregarding emissions and economy which would obviously suffer.
Ive seen 4age's and sr20s running sidedraft carbs and was just thinking it could be cool.
Aparently LCE in the states have built 2rz and 3rz NA carb motors for people in racing classes that specify carbs so it has been done anyway.
Interested to hear some thoughts.
