I Need a Carb for a 18R-C?? Whats the best Choice the K744 From Redline Weber or What..Gonna use it for a daily driver but would like some performance out of it also.. Can you help me to the rite direction??
Thanks ..

 

18RC....I had that engine in my 73 celica. Exhaust and intake on the same side right??? Had a 32/36 in mine.

 

Yes non crossflow, makes for easy tune up work! I just had my stock carb rebuilt...

 

bah that stock carb sux..get a weber when you can afford one...craigslist has a bunch for the cheapz and you can rebuild em with a pocket screwdriver

 

I can probably get a weber for 75 bucks from a friend. What necessarily makes the stocker bad?

 

I'm literally in the middle of this particular upgrade. Took the 32/36 DGEV that I had purchased not too long ago for the 20r in my 77', and purchased a few jets to swap in to tailor it more for the 18r.

My 72' came with a tired Made in Italy 32/34 and I had initially thought that linkage adapter would work for the 32/36 DGEV. Not so.

So back to the store I go tomorrow for the correct linkage adapter.

Everything else is pretty much done. Even started her up tonight and set the carby up with a nice lil' baseline to work with. It's just tough to really dial it in without being able to at least take her around the block.

Still.......I must admit, old cast iron sounded 100 times healthier and mean as f**k. Sure, they're nothing like a 2xr, but if your compression checks out, and you have other vehicles to turn to (just in case), nothings wrong with messing with an 18r and running it till it burns a valve or throws a rod.

 

which in my case was a week after buying the truck..

btw if you want an 18R with a burnt valve i have a motor laying here that im going to have to scrap if someone doesnt take it..

 

I think that is what happened to mine, before I got it the head was redone and it has new gaskits... Im going to drive it easy because im tried of driving a neon around and my Z has a busted windshield and I have plans for it while it is down.

 

After you get a weber slap an 8r on top of the 18rc block head for a hybrid.
