I really wish I found your videos sooner it would've helped me with a better carb choice. I ended up getting 40 dcoe carbs. I was wondering if you could do a video on sealing and pressurizing weber dcoe's and also other mods like diaphragms for running boost?
Good day good Sir thanks for all your amazing videos on the nissan 1400. Please if you could help me what is the torque spec in NM for the nissan 1400 head bolts please. It would really be appreciated.
I have done a couple of turbo builds in the old days with side draft Dellorto's and it works fantastic, those builds was on cross flow engines so the turbo heat is on the other side of the engine. The A14 engine is a non cross flow so all the heat are going to be below the carbs. With the DRLA the float bowls are above the manifold, partly shielding it from the heat, especially in traffic. And i think it will be a cool build.
you can depending how high you want to boost. at higher boos pressure gaskets start going brass floats collapse, so it is always advisable to use a carb designed for Turbo use. Like this one.
Thanks for the great content. Looking forward to part 3.

Hello, eagerly awaiting pt3.
What fuel pump and fpr did you use
I will make that video in the next few weeks.
We need part 3! Is there any issue running a weber 32/36 for a low boost application?
The 32/36 has been used, i would not advise to use it. you will need to do loads of mods in it. Part 2 is coming, thanks for watching.
Why didn’t you go with side drafts?

Can you not convert any carburetor to run boost?
You’re the expect around these carburetor things?
