why would you want to go to all the trouble? Why do you think this will be a good idea? Are they a good carby, are they known to be a great carby for offroad use? Why not just stick to a Sierra one?

It funny you mention that cab, as i was told my a mechanic theyre very similar to the the sierra one(it was the first thing he said when he popped my bonnet) theyre an aisin aswell. He even used a mitsi gasket, when he took mine off, and put it back.
The only thing i'd be worried about is the angles, will it cope? probably not.

i have found the carbies of early subaru's (ea81 motor) to be very good offroad and on angles, bolt pattern is basically the same, but sorting the vacume lines out can be a real problem if your not to good with carbies.
mate had one on his 1.3 with the head skimmed to raise compression 1 point and its haeps faster than my 1.6

In that case I would say there is something wrong with your 1.6. Otherwise a carb swap has netted him a 10kw power gain.
I currently have a 1.6 with the intake and exhaust from the 1.3 I pulled out of it .. the 1.6 absloutely kills it for performace, yet gets slightly better economy as I dont have to wring it's neck to make it go.

i drove it before and after we upped the comp and did the carby. before car wouldnt even sit on 100 consistently after it would wind of the clock
the subi carb is of a 1.8 motor, but unless you know where the vacume lines go its very difficult

a suzuki that will wind off the clock??? :shock: :shock: :shock: now thats a first for a stock motor.

Ive used stock carby, corolla carb and even a weber and the weber was the best for outright grunt and revs but lacked at low revs.

pffft .. get a Subi carb .. the first layer of gravity await's .. :D
Hey it might work really well.. I am just a bit dubious about the "wind off the clock" statement
