is ur TS magna carby? if its EFI forget carbs.
webber is a brand of carb... bigger u go, more fuel/air can b mixed i spose = more kw.
and twin 30's should b left on a mini :bowrofl:
if u want to go twins, look at something like twin 38's.

Would a stockTS GLX with twin 38 webbers be quicker than a stock TS exec??
dont no much about ts but webbers kick ass man im telling you.
Induction note is fantastic!
I miss carbies!!
My mate had a vauxhall nova 1.3sr with webbers k&N, Extractors,
it would kill 2.0i astras and puggs.
Fuel is a bit expensive in England though.
Depends on how well you've got the carbs tuned. Should be able to get the same performance, or better, without too much hassles

im thinking the twin carb TS would go pretty close to, if not beat the efi TS ay. i'd rather go to efi myself though... computer helps alot. with the carbs youll b chewing some fuel alright lol
yer ya cant really beat EFI for economy, but u can match it in performance easy :) (maybe nto full aftermarket ECU tho)
twin webbers take up a helluva lot a room too, im told twin webbers wont fit in the 2.6 magna cos of height issues
tho u could always make bonnet mods :cool:

its a backwards step, it will only sound nice and throaty, but not go better.
for a large engine like 2.6 u could need as large as up to twin 45's depending what other mods, theres over 800$ just for the carbs , there is probably no adaptor manifold available except for sigma, thers another 300$approx if it fits all under the bonnett, other wise a custom one would need to be done costing much more.
then there will be no improvement in top end unless u do other things to the engine to process the fuel, maybe flooding and poor economy. and if u do other mods upgrading the fuel system staying with efi will still be better.
for low end there would be a loss of power going to carbs, it would only perform as well as a carby 2.6 magna. the efi system on magnas is very good for low end and mid-range because it only sends a fuel pulse on compression stroke not all the time like other efi systems or carbys, and u will lose that benefit.
having said all that there is nothing like the sound of them, blip-blap the throttle just to hear it. :badgrin:
