hi everyone,

 

today i got given a weber carby for nothing, i know nothing about carbies so i have no idea if i can even use this thing on my 5k motor. i have written down all the numbers i can find on the thing.

 

there is a little tag on one of the bolts that has the following written on it:

 

Weber

86 DA UD

A 6 G 15 (the 5 looks like an upside down 2)

 

on the side of the thing there is what appears to be a serial number imprinted:

 

34 ADMOC 007791

 

i was told it was out of a 2lt toyota motor from a camry or something.

 

i know its a bit vague, but if anyone can tell me what this is and wether or not it will be useful to me i would greatly appreciate it!

 

thanks all

 

Charl

Its a 34 ADM, commonly used on XE/XF Falcon's.

 

Way too big for a 3K/4K motor.

and now for my next question....

 

ive been reading up on the forum about what to do to a 5k to get some decent power out of it.

 

now i want to stay "legal" if i can but I'm after a recipe for success with my 5k and havent found anything like that on here. many people have different opinions and what i would like in this thread is for each person who has done a 5k to put down what theyve done to the internals etc, and what the results were. that way we can all use this as a reference for newbies to compare the options to see whats best suited to them individually and approximately how much it will cost them.

 

i hope this hasnt been done before, if it has i have not had any luck finding it so please point me in the right direction.

 

looking forward to some inspiration.

would a pair of Stromberg CD150 carburettors with linkages from Triumph 2500 be any good on a 5k?

Not bad - Better off with SU's though, strombergs tend to be harder to deal with and tune, and also harder to get parts for.

 

BUT - you will really really struggle to find a manifold for them. I was going with the SU option but just couldnt get one. If you have ~800 bucks, buy the twin Dellorto's Kangaroosa is/was selling and use them.

 

I currently have a 5k down at API Engines in Lonsdale, they have started on the block at the moment. Read this thread I posted earlier, I will let you know how it all pans out.

Yep, twin Dellortos are the shiznizzle.

 

I had a twin SU manifold but sold it off fairly cheaply and it was brand new. Thats going back a year now though.

 

It was a Lynx brand too. I may be able to source one for you if you're really keen Charl but will be a fluke if I can track one down that brand spankers for ya.

 

PM me if you want me to see what I can do.

 

Cheers
