CARB'S 32 to a 34 adf

[106usj]

Do we all agree the engine i have has been replaced from the original with a 2.0 132 engine as i have searched Google to try and find ways of identifing fiat engine numbers that are on it and with no luck.
The engine number and type are on my previous post
Any one have any ideas  please post when you have time or after festive season.
Thanks.
I made a mistake with numbers i put a 0 instead of a C so engine number as follows. On the engine type the first digit could be a c also hard to make out but i think its a 0

132 C2  000  TYPE O73 4715

I did find this on google.

www.international-auto.com

1995cc engine types as follows
123 C2 040      132 C2 031

According to Enso's post and link on page 1 post number 2 the garage
Subject - engine numbers in mk 1 131 special. Author Cooter131

The engine number tallys up with the data 132 C 2. 000 is the 2000CC engine Category B.
will i get any more info from the engine type numbers i have  073 4715. //
Was there any real differance between this twin cam engine and the original 131 B2 000 //

I am getting too old to remember numbers but I think the 131B1 1995cc engine (original 131 Sport/Racing engine) is rated at 115 bhp while the later 132C2 engine as fitted to the 132 and later 131 Supermirafioris was rated at 113bhp. The driving differences are apparently more than the mere 2 bhp would suggest but I wouldn't know.

Out of interest, the 115 bhp engine in the Lancia Trevi is a 828 B1 000 and uses a 34 DAT 2/251 carburettor (or 34 DAT 2/151 for A/C and/or Auto transmission). The engine in Lancia installations is tilted 20 degrees so I would think a Lancia inlet manifold is no good for a Fiat 131.

Intresting so the manifold on ebay will only fit either the fiat only or lancia only not either or !!

I know of a genuine 131 sport engine with genuine 60k miles when it was removed so i might just look into trying to buy it of the guy.
When ever i get round to the respray i might just do a swap and replace i will see. The engine i have is running well so far so no issues there.
Just need to get the 34 carb on. Still dont know why the 32 carb was fitted ??

what about a set of twin 40 or 45s?

[106usj]

CK.
I have thought about it i bid on a few second handers but lost them by a few pounds.
I priced a brand new set to fit the 131 tc 2.0 a set of 45s with complete manifold for about ?750 about 3 weeks ago, i am so tempted to credit card them but i am going to wait and get some more together.
The 45s is something i will do for sure.

Jaysus I have a set of very clean 40's on original manifold and they are no where near 750 pound if you want as they wont bruise the credit card too bad..

Red Lad.
I know that is very steep i just picked a random site and asked for a price for Fiat 131 set up email followed.
Weber 45 DCOE ?497    Linkage ?80   Manifold ?167   TOTAL ?744.
If you have a complete set of 40s with manifold send me a private message and  maybe we can do a deal i hope.
Thanks

This price was offcourse for all 3 items brand new,  but even still  i know it was a steep price hence why i never  replied to the email. For a while there were 3 or 4 on ebay uk for reasonable prices in oct - nov but i missed them on bids various types Dollerto and Weber.

[sid131]

not steep thats about right for new stuff, carbs are probably a bit dearer though?

[106usj]

Brand new weber45 DCOE ?497 - linkage ?80.
Sid ?
What is the better set up for the 131 tc engine the 40s set up or the 45s set up ie which runs better with the engine and which gives least grief.
Thanks

[Thotos]

40 would be better for a standard 2 litre engine. And the downdraught IDFs will give a lot less grief than the sidedraught  DCOE.

 Re - twin 40s & 45s.
Right Theo thats good to know.
Thanks.
? Have you read the article in Retro cars mag Jan 2010 issue 19 page 82 about the piper cams set up fitted new to the golf with the before and after bhp dyno readings intresting........
