First Thoughts On That Cheap Ebay '' Weber '' 32/36 DGV

Ok, so this was supposed to be an unboxing of the cheap Weber 38 DGS that can be found on Ebay, however it was boxed incorrectly and is infact a 32/36 DGV!
With over 30 years experience in the Weber 32/36 and 38 twin chokes I decided to purchase one of these cheap Chinese copies of this iconic carb that was fitted to the more performance Ford sOHC '' Pinto '' engine that found homes in the MkI & II Escort , the Capri, Cortina and Granada.
Lets get this thing out of the box and take a look.

My guess is original was zinc and the Chineseum Aluminium. Learning the hard way about Webers. Not loving them so far, but we are somewhat committed... or should be.

Looks like the Weber/Holley I rebuilt yrs ago, old one ended up having shaft play and made a vac leak, customer bought a new one.

A friend bought one, it runs good but bad build quality, the linkages on the carb hit the body and interferes when accelerating. Will have to pull and hopefully file or tighten

Hello 👋 it sounds like you have the DGS , most likely a 38/38 as fitted to the Ford 3 litre "Essex" V6 as fitted to the UK Ford Granada mk1 and the Ford Capri . I have both original Weber and a Chinese copy which I will be testing in the future.

I cant wait to see comparison tests. Old school fuel feeders. I take it this carb was not electric choke after as advertised.

I've got the 32-36 on my 258 ci in a old Jeep, put in the cross shaft bearing kit and glad I did. Runs great on all angles too.

I have not had chance to try it yet.... however I am currently putting a Pinto engine together which it can be bolted to and tried. Please check my latest videos for this build.

Amigo the cheap weber carb work gd for my experience i build a d15b2 with po8-3 head VTEC but i didn't plug vtec at all i put some better spring and retainers and a delta 272 cam y8 head gasket and im probably around 10.1 compression to 11.1 and i made some distributor adjustments and fit the odbo distributor on head and used a 32/36 Weber carb from ebay and i can tell you my CRX sounds like a v8 ford and run like a Ferrari big big difference plus she is peppy like hell people don't believe how beautiful she sounds with the 272 delta cam and how fast she is well she have stage 2 clutch and 10 pound flywheel jjjj 😁 and she can pull nice to 82 hundred rpm im real happy with the cheap weber carb i dont if you feel the same amigo about the carb

I just got one of those Weber carb.Was wondering how did it perform?

@BLOWN8CYLINDER 10 ай бұрын

To be honest not had chance to try it... I have both the 32/36 and the 38 for two engines I'm building up.. however other projects have got in the way. Please check my videos for the "other projects " .

I couldn't agree more, and apart from the weight difference the castings look very much alike. I will investigate more in depth and check internal dimensions and jet sizes.... I'm glad they copied the earlier version of the Weber with the exposed mixture screw for the idle circuit air - fuel ratio. I have now had a 38 DGS copy arrive which I will try on the Essex V6 once built up... Just a shame I don't have access to an engine dyno!

@@BLOWN8CYLINDER yes, some performance/efficiency numbers would be helpful. I enjoy watching Robot Cantina for his mile per gallon testing, you might enjoy.

@tikka25000 Жыл бұрын

Kind of hard to judge something like this by looks and weight, it should be judged by performance? Aluminium is the new zinc.

@BLOWN8CYLINDER Жыл бұрын

A valid point and one which will be tested in the future.... I have worked with the original Webers for over 30 years and I was quite excited to take a look at one of these copies..... and yes, a lot lighter but as long as the drillings in the body are the same, the venturi shape is the same etc it should perform the same.... I have both a 3 litre ''Essex'' V6 and Pinto engines to build up , I have both the 32/36 and 38 copies to try.

@@BLOWN8CYLINDER yeah I used to have twin dellorto's on my Datsun and now building another one, webers etc are 1k more expensive so thinking of giving these fajs a try. It's certainly no high end motor so little confused as to buy these cheaper version or will it be a case of poor man pays twice.
