other carbies for 2tg??

[auzzi_17]

Couldnt find any other threads about this.

But has anyone tried to put a single carby on a 2tg?

I could get mine rebuilt for about $500. Or I could get a 2t manifold and new single downdraft carby for the same price and not worry about tuning every 3 months.

Can anyone comment??

Thanks
Blake

2T manifold will not fit.
Mod'ing a 2TG sidedraught manifold to take a single downdraught carby, such as a 32/36 Weber would be a lot of work and expect to loose a lot of power.

You can buy 2nd hand solex's or dellorto's to replace you current ones, but they could be jsut as bad as yours.

If you can find a rebuild guide you could buy the rebuild kit and rebuild them your self, kits should be around $70.

Chuck a pair pofDCOE Weber's or Dellorto's on it, they'll bolt straight on and are a heap better than the crappy Mikuni's that come with 2T-G's.
From memory I think 40mm ones will fit the manifold port the best.

well i just moded a 2tg efi and twin side draft manifold to fit my 3t head that is the same as a 2t so i dont see why you couldnt do the same the other way? but i would just get some 40mm webers and get them on there and ya will not have to tune them all the time, or just get EFI

A small adaptor plate is very easily made to mount a 2T or 3T manifold up to a 2TG, port spacing is very close to the same but the bolt spacing is quite different.

Just had my solexes rebuilt - I was quoted $85 for the kit (x2 obviously, being 2 carbs) and when the job was done the invoice said something more like $135 each kit (which the man at the desk adjusted to the quoted price, and dropped thier "10 hours labour" down to two...and THAT is why I am learning to do my own shit to my car..)

The problem with these cars/engines/carbies is that they are getting older and older, and parts are getting harder and harder to find. If you want to keep that engine, expect that things are going to get a tad expensive. I paid $500 for timing chains and a full set of guides for a 2T-G!! BUT I could justify the cost because I really love that engine and my celica, and well theyre probably going to last another 10yrs or so. Same with if you rebuild your carbies now, provided you look after them with clean fuel, theyre probably going to last a fair while before you have to rebuild them. With a single down-draught carby you will probably lose out on some power there, and they can still be a PITA, or still need a rebuild kit...

Best advise I can give is keep looking around for a better price on a rebuild kit, or maybe see if "Rodger" can help you (toymod's solex man). Once these things are rebuilt, rejetted and tuned properly, you wont have to do it again for a long time, or for 3 monts for that matter. These engines are a LOT of fun once setup properly.

Good luck...

Yeah silli has a good point there I dont resent a cent I spend on my car because it makes me happy in return... everytime I drive it (the times that dont result in a tow, anyway )

Good to see you still advertise your ignorance in public.

For Blakes benefit here is a scan from the works of TRD themselves, who sell solex Mikuni and weber carbies.



Blake,

A single carb on your 2TG will be a backwards step. No matter what you choose your car will only run as well as its state of tune will aloow so to acheice the best results whatever carby set up you have needs to be in top working order. Have your choice of carby rebuilt by someone who actually knows your carby type and you will be impressed with the result from any of the top 3 side draft set ups. Be it Solex - Mikuni, Weber's or Dellorto's.

Since you already have Solex - Mikuni's then investing in a different set of twin carbs is in my opinion a poor investment unless your mikuni's are broken or the replacement items are new.

So I guess you haven't been told today?
Every time this comes up, you are demonstated to be wrong and I am right.

So please, if there's any ignorance/stupididy to be shown .... go right ahead.

Folks, he's good at copying stuff selectively out of books, but no good for real-world stuff. Listen to his advice with great caution.

Bill,

Your the only person who ever thinks your right ! Your ego wouldn't have it any other way. And paying people to do things for you so you can claim you did them doesn't count as personal experience. Real world ? I unlike you have owned built and developed more 2-TG's than you have looked at. I have used weber, delloto's and Solex Mikinu carbs.

I just thank god you only polute our forums and not our events with your attendance. Not since smuggler has there been a bigger online stain than you. At least with him people knew to ignore his posts but you have the added blemish or misiforming those who want to learn and that will always be the greater sin. In the interest of the thread and blake wanting answers how about we agree to grossly dislike each other and let the thread take its natural course.

Yes dear, whatever you say.

Sounds like I will be getting these carbies rebuilt. I wanted to go Efi, but I am already in trouble with the missus for spending too much time on this car.

I am calling all around sydney on monday to find someone who is familiar with these carbies.

Thanks for the help guys,
Blake
