Making The Right Choice 32/36mm progressive or 38mm Synchronous
|
|
To help make the right choice for your future needs In
the past there have been questions and much miss information put out on
the choice of a 32/36 DGEV Carburetor or the 38 DGAS 1)
The Kits utilizing the 32/36 Progressives Weber are designed to
provide the market with an economical performance carburetor conversion
that while increasing Hp also improves drivability and fuel economy over
the stock carburetor. The K551 or any kit using the 32/36 progressive
carburetor is the optimum carburetor for use as a performance
replacement carburetor for a worn out or hard to maintain factory
Carburetor. 2)
When purchased in kit form the REDLINE kit with the 38mm
DGAS Carburetor will perform on a stock unmodified engine without any
problems. This is not going to be an over carburetion situation.
It
will provide considerably more initial torque and acceleration but the
top end performance will not be significantly improved over the 32/36
when used on a stock motor. 3)
The 38mm DGAS Carburetor should be the only consideration if the
engine is in the future or currently going to have any level of
additional engine modification. Such as headers, free flowing exhaust, a
cam, or rebuilt engine. Usually these motors will be improved over stock
with oversize pistons and towing cam. The 38 will enhance the
improvements of any of these items. The 6 cylinder engine applications
are particularly enhanced by this application. In-fact on ALL JEEP and
LAND CRUSER applications with any upgrades this is a mandatory choice.
Other wise the progressive will require re-calibration to work properly. 4)
When using a 32/36 in the same above situations it will require
additional calibration and rejetting to attain the desired performance
and standard fuel economy. There is a jet kit available for just this
reason. The jetting is required due to the performance enhancements of
the additional items. Although the 32/36 does out perform the original,
to receive the full benefit of your investment the 32/36 will require
helpful re-calibration. The 38 on the other hand is the optimum choice
and has a larger fuel delivery system and the calibration to handle the
broader range of improved performance and improves substantially your
other product investments. 5)
While the 32/36 progressive Carburetor will improve your fuel
economy on a stock motor over the OEM Carburetor. The 38 Synchronous
Carburetor will not get less fuel economy than the OEM Carburetor. RECAP The 32/36
DGV progressive carburetor as used in any REDLINE kit is
pre-calibrated and set to run on most normal standard and stock engines
and provide a performance and fuel economy improvement. If that engine
has been upgraded or improved with other performance items there will be
a need to recalibrate or rejet the carburetor in some situations. There
is a performance jet kit just for the Jeep applications Pt No. 701-DGV.
The 38
DGAS synchronous carburetor when supplied in kit form from REDLINE
is also pre-calibrated for use on stock or slightly modified motors and
will not be over carbureted. It also provides the best starting point
for engines that are ultimately going to be upgraded with additional
performance Items with performance over fuel economy being the ultimate
goal.
