[Fot] Weber vs Mikuni

[Charly Mitchel]

Last season I ran triple Webbers on my TR6 and it ran slightly better than my PI setup.  This year I switched to 3 Z-S carbs and I ran every bit as good as the Webbers if not better.  The Webbers sound a lot different, raspier, so for sure you'll sound like you're making more power at the least. The PI was much smoother sounding, and the Z-S are very good sounding also.

  -"...hitting a wall at that point..." : is it possible this is rather pointing to the camshaft than to the SU's? If it are the carburettors, maybe the power would decrease more gradually above 6500 rpm.
  -In general one choke per cylinder is better, and 2 Webers 40 DCOE isn't overkill I think
  - what about trying HS6 SU's on your actual manifold?
  At what maximum rpm is your engine still reliable?

  I'm looking into switching out my twin HS4s on the 1296 race engine to either Weber or Mukinis. I know this has been done for years and I'd like to get close the best set up out of the gate. 



  I don't think the SUs are up to the task of moving enough air with the new ported head and Stahl header. I've worked on the SUs and gotten them to finally deliver a good AFR , 12.6, at 6500 RPM under load but I seem to hit a wall (figuratively) at that point. I suspect that the openings just aren't big enough to deliver the mass of air required. (spreadsheet or other flow calculator link appreciated)

  Biggest gate I suspect is the intake valve, 1 3/8" head (~35mm) HS4 is ~38mm at best.



  Recommendations? I've seen all these setups at the track, each with pluses, minuses and overkill cause it looks cool. 



  One weber DCOE 40 or 2? what jets, tubes etc for a starting point? Best manifold? 



  2 or 4 Mikuni 40? jet size?


  thanks
  mike
