with the right mods a weber can be pretty awesome off road. i'm running mine backwards with the vent mod done and my it'll only really splatter a bit going down very steep descents. it does feel as though it revs a bit harder too.

If you going to the trouble of changing the intake system, just fit injection. Much better. Single point 8V injection bolts almost straight on.

When I looked into webers a couple of people mentioned using renault carbies from the model with the 3 stud wheels. Think they were a 1.5. Ended getting a weber as it was easier to find so I don't know for sure if the renault carby is the go. Weber was ok but no good at cold starts (had no choke). Now got vit motor so the weber is just sitting around.

Nikki twin barrel mechanical secondary carbies work well and bolt straight onto the standard manifold. They have bigger primaries and secondaries so you need to do a little bit of work to the intake to make it work properly. My intake was rounded out and enlarged with a dremel tool. I think the carby was off a Mitsubishi early late 80s van.
Here's some pics.

corolla carby is another great carby. its the same as the stock carby but has none of the polution gear and if you get the right one it is jetted bigger and works really well offroad. Mine is off a 4K corolla. not as revy as the weber but alot easier to live with.
and this is from someone that started the weber post here.

ok I'm in 2 minds here.
Whats the best option?
No1. i have a 1.3 motor and gear box with a guenuine 40,000kms on it.
Put a cam and a webber/corolla/fuel injection or what ever is the best value for money intake system. and put it in
No2. save a few dollars buy a half cut and do the vitara conversion
No3. put the low kms motor and gearbox in and drive it. (sorta wanted a little more)

Mate if you gear the zook properly with the stock engine with a good sized intake, extractors and ~2 to 2.5 inch exhaust, plus a vitara/corrolla carby or single point EFI and it'll run great. I had my zook on 34s with stock engine being able to sit on 100km/h on the highway with juice left in the tank to overtake plus more than enough power for 98% of the driving I did. I must admit there were a couple of hill climbs that I just wish I had a little more power though.
As they say, add up what you think a vitara converison will cost you then double it. It'll give you an accurate estimate of what an engine conversion will actually cost you.

i've got a weber on mine and to be honest with my low gearing its not that bad when it floods up hill cos you're generally revving a bit anyways to get up... however, and thats a big HOWEVER - i really want to go EFI to get rid of that and improve fuel economy a bit...
lesson learnt - go efi first up.

ok next question where is the best place to get a single point injection system in victoria. what model does it come off and are they hard to find.

Got webber aswell and it konks out sometimes on steep decents but u learn to adjust your style of driving to suit. Found the biggest prob is when it does stall, its a bit harder to start while ur still on the hill but overall think its a good option.

my trick is go low range, reverse and start it while in gear, once you get a bit of wheel movement the engine is forced to turn over, then give it a good rev, hit first and floor it.... haha

Ok found a single point injection set up. $650. does this sound expensive.
any advice on which bits to grab i'm goin to pull it all off the car this week end.
any bits that i will need that would pay not to miss.
eg fuel pump, wiring
