brendan Posted August 24, 2008 Report Posted August 24, 2008 (edited) hey people i have a fully worked 5k and its running the standard 5k carb is there any cheaper option to put a bigger size carb without changing the manifold cheers! Edited August 24, 2008 by brendan Quote
minishoulders Posted August 24, 2008 Report Posted August 24, 2008 Yes get a twin choke weber 32/36 carb with an adapter plate. Quote
Felix Posted August 24, 2008 Report Posted August 24, 2008 Yes get a twin choke weber 32/36 carb with an adapter plate. A much better option is a 28/36 DCD weber (fits on a 32/36 DGV adapter plate). If the DCD is from a MK1 GT1500 cortina, the stock jetting will get you very close. The 1500GT's have a warm 1500cc non-xflow pushrod motor standard. A couple of DCD's have gone off recently on ebay for around $80 plus post. Add a rebuild kit for around $40. Note that a 32/36 DGV is designed for a 2 liter motor. You can get good results on a 5k, but it will never be anywhere near as sweet as a 28/36 DCD. Quote
philbey Posted August 24, 2008 Report Posted August 24, 2008 there's an adaptor plate on Ebay to suit at the moment for 30 bucks. look for Gem Parts australia, they always sell them. Quote

brendan Posted August 24, 2008 Author Report Posted August 24, 2008 is there any place in the western subs nsw i can contact to purchase the webber cheers! Quote
Felix Posted August 24, 2008 Report Posted August 24, 2008 (edited) Watch ebay for the 28/36 DCD's. In fact I just bought another one. :jamie: Hmm, I might just run twin DCD's on the 5k in my ke15. ;) This 32ADFA would be a good choice for a worked 5k. It is the same as what Xany runs on his 5k.

styler Posted August 24, 2008 Report Posted August 24, 2008 as long as your motor is worked and needs a bigger carb you should be sweet, don't over carb it though as the venturi vacuum signal will be too weak for low and mid range. Quote
