4 barrel manifold.

"Hey Kyle,
I had Dual 44 Webers but I got tired of the damn jets plugging up all the damn time.
So, I looked for an alternative & tired this intake. It is absolutely awesome. It runs on 2 barrels until you want to get into it, and then all hell breaks loose !! I can turn over 31.50 15 tires in 1st., 2nd & 3rd. I haven't tried 4th yet. It has so damn much power now, it's crazy. You can actually hear it through the exhaust. I put on over 800 miles this past season, trouble free, most of which was run on trails & sand up North in the Michigan woods.
You won't be disappointed. Here's the link to show you what I bought on eBay."

Ive seen that on flebay, now if you just had intake end peices that would flow as much as the motor needed, but if it's a small motor and dosent require more flow there good to go.Ive run duels for about 80 years now with 1 pluged jet as I recall, but I keep good filters&outer wears on my stuff .and living right hear by the ocean of mexiaco where the sand is so fine it's like powder might have something to do with it also,(the beach sand isant realy sand, it's quarts dust or mica dust something like that, snow white powder.no not the majick dust thats gets off raindeers. a good carb does wonders for a good motor, a junk carb, can make junk out of good motors too.

I just found this interesting, now that I'm gaining some experience with American V8's I've found out how awesome and simple edelbrock/carter carburetors are.

Kadrons did not like me very much.

[modok]

yes, it certainly is "interesting", to have an intake with four barrel carb with less HP potential than kadrons.

I am always up to discuss alternative arrangements........ but dude, that is stupid

[72KYLE]

Oh you air-heads

so set in your ways.

To be honest with you, in my head was forming an extensive technical explanation about the thing. But instead I wrote "stupid", because for one thing it's a hell of a lot shorter, and also because you didn't ask any actual question.

[fastwagens]

what size carb is in the video. Im thinking of playing around with a 4 barrel with a mechanical secondary

[madmike]

I'm with Mark on this one ,I have a Predator carb on a 1915 turbo and It's like a toilet flushing when u get on it switching to a 40 DCOE all the N/a 4 barrels I've seen run like ass

Hate to pull your chain but it was proven 30 years ago that a 4bbl does not work on a VW engine. All you youngsters are welcome to waste your time and money relearning what we learned many years ago.

I vote that this is stupidest vw build at year 2013

Are some rednecks actually buying this SHIT?

2 or 4 four barrel with plenum intake is always much worse than single throat per cylinder = dual 2-barrel carbs.

I knew a guy that tried a Johnny's 4 Play on his drag bug and claimed it went 2 seconds slower. I got this info after seeing it for sale on his swap meet table.

Yes people that do not bother to study history are doomed to repeat it.

Yes, it's interesting and I can see where the theory behind it might've sounded good...

But seriously, if you want 4 barrels, do it the right way and get dual carbs.

[DarthWeber]

I can't wait to see the new empi dual 4 bbl carb kit!

first off 4 bbls do work on these motors very well, as I have them on my bug but there is 2 bbls over each head feading each cylinder independntly,(empty hpmxrsidflomnop). yes a motor can be made to work well with a four barrell in the center. a four barrell over each head would also be nice if it was the corect size and the intakes made corectly, but it would take a good amount of fab work&room in the engine compartment.would it be better than a 48 ida? possiably. could it be tuned for street driving better?probably. but I dont think what is in this add is going to set to world on fire. if it were made from the carb to the heads corectly yes it would be a nice peice.....

[fastwagens]

the same things are said about the holley bugspray. i ran a bugspray for a couple years on a 1600 with great results. (not including fuel econemy).
i now run some dell 45's on a 1915, and i am very happy with that.
i like to try things out even if it said to have been sone before. im always up for a challange and the advancements on carbs have come along way.
why not try its fun.

[jsturtlebuggy]

If you think that manifold will work with no drivability problems then you must be able to shit through a straw too.

There was a good 4 barrel manifold many years ago but it disapeared.
The main problem is not the carb but lack of carb heat

[Dale M.]

A four barrel is dual Weber IDF's or IDA's....
