whats a good price on a used set of carbs for a d16a6, i gan get a set for 300. is that a good price? 44mm mikuni's.
thank you guys... also there is no way of getting around running a stand alone with a carb set up is there?

 

300 is good, make sure you get the mani and linkage, check the condition of the carbs as well, but a rebuild kit is pretty cheap as long as the casts are in good shape.
there is no stand alone with carbs, it is, as some put, a metered gas leak, no computers needed. might consider a distributorless ignition though, some put miata system on D series, never had seens it in person. or sds system.
used to be very popular with the Zcar crowd.

300 is pretty good for twin mikunis, manifold, and linkage, considering a new weber dcoe would cost about that or more new.

 

I think maybe you'll like your PGM-FI better than carbs. There's a reason there arent carb'd cars anymore. But if you want to, go ahead, just my .2cents.

 

Twin Carbs are good, they can produce alot of power and sounds bad ***. The only problem with them is constantly tuning it.

 

thank you guys SO SO SO much...
i love your info. thank you guys! your the best. well i am going to try and get them...
were can i get a new weber carb? for my car, if i can get a new weber, i would love that. maybe a 50mm. if its the same or around same price, if you know any where i can get one...
also can i use my stock ECU with a carb set-up? i thought i have to run a DFI/stand alone with carbs, because the computer would be all messed up...
if i can run a stock ECU and make my car run good, that would be great. thanks again you guys!

 

not to steal your post, but i have 44mm mikunis for sale, check my sig.

 

The carbs supply fuel, the distributor handles spark. You may need a way to handle spark advance, but there's no need for an ECU to control fuel. I doubt your stock computer would be happy with the engine running with no fuel injectors attached, but I'm not sure what kind of problems that would cause.

 

thanx, i have a MSD 6al. but i am not sure if that would help with a carb set up much... if there a way to trick the computer to think it has injectors?

 

i have a complete JDM dual carb manifold with carbs and sensors & distributor. i'm kinda looking to get rid of them items for cheap, anybody intrested?

 

for some reason i'm thinking that the stock ecu isn't gonna work. the ecu does control fuel but maybe it will still think it's controlling the injectors??? anyways, 300 is a very good price!

 

hey Donkey85 i PMed you. just wante dto know how much you are selling that set up for?
as for carbs, i guess i will try to pick some up next week, after i get paid and have a little more money to play around with.
well thank you guys...
and any more advice, PLEASE!!! i would love it. about stock ECU's or chiped ECU's or even a DFI type set up. just what i need, or what you people with carbs have on your car. thanx a lot.

 

new carbs are REALLY expensive.. but here's a place i've dealt with before when i had my 240z. They are very knowledgable and awesome. They tend to deal with cars that are older, and more.. carbureted.. but they should still be able to help you. they definitely carry weber carbs, and they have lots of manifolds. here's their website:

thanx man, that site is pretty nice, did not find anything for the A6, but i will call them on monday or something, see if they can get some. also if i get some carbs, they will be a big help for parts.
thank you!
