L16 with dual carbs

[datzenmike]

Metal sinks to the lowest point in the pan, stays forever. Wood chips will float, so not near the oil pickup. They come out at the next oil change. Someone on here tore down an L series and found a wood wedge still floating between the chain and guides that some PO forgot to take out.

I just use the plastic one that is available.

L20b and 32/36 weber. Is a HUGE uprade over a stock l16 with a 210 head. Hell, for be it was a giant upgrade over a hack job motox l16 (POS motor due to how someone modded it, but still more power over a stock l16). All comes down to your knowledge of the motor/carb.

Been daily driving mine (L16 dual 40s) for the past month or so while my 4runners been broke. No issues really, I don't see why they can't be daily driven?

Hot damn they sound good at wide open...

It's warm out in Vic.

[mattyhacks71]

It's great

[datzenmike]

It's dual 40s weather.

Who says that? Lots of European cars and a handful of Japanese cars came stock with dual side draft Weber or Solex carbs.

 

When properly tuned and combined with the right cam, they do sound very cool.

Get a set of nice su's call it good while you save for a better engine

I have a manifold

[banzai510(hainz)]

My Banzai is a Mikuni solex 40s  and its fine. Just gets rough in HOt Stop and go traffic on hot days.

Then I drive my 521 with 32/36 weber DGV

You already the side drafts, i say run it and see if its you. I only have 32/36 weber, L18, daily driver, even just a 4 Speed, good to go on daily runs.

It takes a whole day or more to get them set up properly. They benefit from soft mounts to the manifold. It's important to get the linkage set right, without binding, on either rod or cable setups. Making sure the stops and balance are set properly is hugely important. And then the fuel PSI and hoses, possibly a heat shield...

 

It takes some time, but I think it's worth the effort.

 

I have a template for a heat shield that I have made many times. I make the shield from two sheets of aluminum with asbestos cloth sandwiched between and riveted together.

[mattyhacks71]

^Thats my only complaint I think. The rod setup results in some shitty pedal feel, it also binds sometimes. I'll likely be investing in a Lokar cable kit

The centerpull style linkage is the only way to go.
