Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Maintenance and Repair / June 2006New carb on '85 Corolla, pass emissions?
Hey all - I may have posted this a while back, I can't remember, so my apologies if I have. Car is a 1985 Corolla SR5, 221k miles. Runs well but uses about a quart of oil every 3000 miles. I want to put a Weber carb on it to increase the horsepower, right now it's making 70 hp (flywheel). What i'm worried about is the emission controls - the current carb has lots of vacuum lines running to a variety of sensors and whatever. Weber told me that "these will be plugged off, cleaning up the underhood area". Will this make me fail emissions? Or can I still hook up some of this stuff somehow? Thanks! (The exact carb I want to install is a 32/36 Weber 2-barrel, replacing an Aisin 2-barrel.) > Hey all - I may have posted this a while back, I can't remember, so my > apologies if I have.

This is probably not the best idea you can come up with for this car. >> Hey all - I may have posted this a while back, I can't remember, so my >> apologies if I have.

What would you recommend, then? trashing the car and buying a new Corvette is not really an option. The car is useful, its a hatchback, runs well, I've put a ton of blood into fixing the car up, just want a little more pep. Even the air conditioner works now. And it's the rear wheel drive variant that is so rare now. |
