hello,

i am looking for any info on putting a weber carb on my 86 M10, like what carb replacement model number, where to buy, outcome like any changes in hp or engine torque, would i need any other mods on engine or outlet ?

if you have done any mod like this i would be keen for chats ..
also is it possible to put 318is shocks and springs on a pre facelift chromie 316 M10 4 door?
thanks,

irish..

Regarding the suspension question - the only thing I can think of is that you'd need the complete suspension legs as the shocks are the thicker 51mm diameter than the 45mm that came with the 316 as standard.

As said on another post, the weber is not cheap. An engine swap might even be cheaper, although more hassle. Have a search around the forum as plenty have already done this swap.

For example - this helpful post below should be in the wiki

That Pierburg 2BE is bloody awful though so I understand you want to change it.

hi toby,

cheers dude for the info, i wasn't sure if the shocks would fit, i didn't do any work on my old I.S. so didn't know the mm.

thanks for the link, the m10 is a good puller for such little horse's but the trottle and mix is slow as winter.. not much impact at all compared to the M42 which is quite fun..

i'm not looking for massive horse's but just a little punch without to much mod, its an immaculated chromie with 24k on the clock, it would be a shame to molest it too much..

cheers man!! :

so any product numbers for a weber conversion kit? if thats needed or is there a direct replacement ?

where to buy? the net isn't giving me much??

try this guy,

thanks lads, got me on the right track,

i am looking at the manual choke version weber 32/36 DGV 5A Manual choke, but i am unsure if this uprated one will fit the inlet manifold, i read that the thread is different on these compared to the pierburg thingy thats on it?

know anything about a solex inlet manifold for m10 that will fit this carb?


thanks.

i converted my pierberg 2be to webers on my 316. i managed to get a kit with a manifold adaption gasket with it that came with the carb. it cost about £250 though.
well worth it once i got back in though

what kind of set up did you get? where from?
thanks

Mark

i've got a weber on my 316 engine i'm removing... pm me with your offer mate... you can have the complete carb and inlet if your like....

i removed the nasty normal one and this made it feel so much better to drive and faster i'm sure...going 24v route so need it going.... last one on ebay sold for strong money!

I just replaced my $&%* Pierburg 2BE with a Weber that I ordered in england from www.webcon.co.uk, it's the 2267092500 Weber model for manual trans.
My mecanic specialist installed it in 1 hour with tuning.
I'm not sure if it's because of the good sound it makes (with K&N filter) but I feel like it's much more power than with stock Pierburg.
Well worth the buy and very happy with it !

I've got a 32/34 DMTL Weber coming off my 1981 316 M10. It's got the manifold, adapter plater, and manual choke cable - everything you need to fit to an M10. It was rebuilt a few months ago (have receipts) using a proper Weber service kit. It's also been jetted for the M10. Since they go for £250 new and £80-£100 used I think £160+P&P is a fair price considering the condition.

I'm aware that's a high price for what it is, but I'm just trying to recoup money I've put into it. I'll freely admit you'll get a cheaper one on ebay! Still, shoot me a PM if interested.

www.fastroadcars.co.uk
Based in Wales and have supplied both my M10 conversion - Think it was about £270-280 for the Webcon kit made for the E30 316, best money i've spent on a car.

Reviving an old thread, but I'm interested in sticking a new carb on my 316.

The problem I have though, is it's an automatic. I see the normal Weber DMTL conversion has an automatic option, but ideally I wanted to fit a DGV.

Has anyone had any experience fitting carbs to an automatic before? Is the cable to the gearbox purely for kickdown, or does it let the gearbox know how much load the engine is under?

Is it worth going for the DGV over the DMTL?

Any answers would be great

anyone still got a webber used for sale?

A manifold adapter from M10 to 2 twin webers would be great if anyone has one?

You can buy manifolds from Webcon for twin 40's. They're expensive but you're not going to get one of the same quality for less.

best to make your own manifold, im just welding the pieces up now, that way you can make it whatever shape you desire

Looking for WEBER carb for my 87 316,anyone have something for sale,new or used???Need ASAP bcs my Pierburg didnt work.....dont know what is wrong with it...works only on brake cleaner...

Something like those is not a direct simple replacement.


This is better and cheaper for you - Weber 32/34 DMTL conversion

I got my car running today with pierburg,but idle is 1200rpm and not running good,so will replace to WEBER next week,only thing what i dont like is that chock cable,my car didnt have it and i dont want to make any holes in my car.....

Can be done neatly

Toby: Thanks for the picture showing the manual choke install.
I was wondering where it could go, without sticking in your face.

Looks ok Toby,will get one weber for my m10 soon!!Hope it will work better than my fu..ed pierburg which now is 1500rpm idle,horrible,i think that is problem with chock....
