Maybe consider doing an Ask Me Anything episode when we get to pry into some of the oopsies, bloopers, mistakes, headaches, and regrets of your projects. We all know that the stuff off camera isn't all polish and success, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants to be aware of the pitfalls of some of these types of endeavors. I can barely imagine the headache I'd make for myself doing this same job. You tipped over the one carb during disassembly and two little pins fell out and my brain went, "WHERE DID THOSE COME FROM?!?" I love watching this work though! Very inspiring, very informative. But what is a minor road block and delay for you would probably put the project on hold for no less than a few days for me, haha. Cheers!!
Those bearings you were talking about are critical. They act as ball checks in the bottom of the accerator pump. You leave them out and you will have a really bad hesitation when you hit the throttle. Many years ago (1975) I rebuilt my carburetor on my GTO with a friend and that ball check was left out. Bad, bad hesitation. Borrowed another carburetor from a friend so I could go get married. Rebuilt the original after the honeymoon, discovered the missing ball check. Sorry about the long post.
So strange to me to see you beautify the outside of the carb, but leave all the corrosion on the inside bits. My style is just different - I would have had the insides as beautiful as the outsides lol. Nice work though, they look amazing.
Cylinder capacity and maximum revs required gives you venturi size required. Lots of charts available if you google. If you are running high revs 40mm will be to small for 2.4L. I currently run 38mm venturi in a 45mm carby on a 2 L. A 45mm carby may be ok but if a really good motor I would think about 48mm Carby. They are a bit harder to find though. And for those who are new to side draught carbys there is a maximum venturi size you can fit in a carby size. Also a bit hard to tell on viewing I hope the inside of those carbs are clean of what looks like loose corrosion. The outside looks terrific.
I had no idea this build was going to go this far and all I can say is it’s super badass. My personal preference would be smaller wheels from that era, such as celica Supra wheels or something else in a 14, but either way this truck is sick and there’s a lot here that I’m going to consider for my 81 celica.
Hi Austin, I appreciate all of the detail that you show in how you are doing the cleaning and coating. The links for the tools are also especially helpful!
Love this idea of painting the DOCEs, and love the look of black wrinkle paint I spotted someone else used. But I'm thinking an etch primer might be required to keep the paint on the muck-metal when exposed to heat and solvents long term.
If you haven’t already you might consider getting a wide band O2 sensor and gauge to help you tune these carbs. It really helped me get mine running right. It’s so nice to just see what’s happening, instantly, for all the various load cases and conditions.
@@austinniemela I ran one from innovate motor sports; at the time (about 10 yrs ago, wow time flies) it was one of the better options for the money, but there are a lot of options these days. Always worked well for me though my buddy got the same gage at the same time and his died after a couple of years.
I had a set of triple Weber’s on my Aussie 265ci Hemi6 cylinder . Ooo the tuning was relentless. Then went Turbo injected, best reliability ever. But the triples looked and sounded cooler than a big beard dragger.
Get a clear 3/16 hose from the hardware store possible around 10 to 12 feet. 2 teets an to elbow, find a board and assemble. 4 long ends fill hose using a colored liquid best is DeX oil .drill and tap intake in all the runners install a vacuum fitting. Use the clear hoses and liquid to balance carbs .it will work as a mercury balance tool. Look up motorcycle carbs balance instructions. Good luck Luis
You should have done the hardware in red. Simple colour scheme that is looking amazing dude! Cannot wait to see it done. Just random thought as I was commenting...I mentioned earlier white edging on the door cards to help separate then from the rest of the door...maybe bronze or red would be better??! Black and red is classic but maybe a bit cliché though...
It's been so long since I rebuilt carbs, I almost forgot how "fun" it was :) JB weld is what I use to fix pitting in those pot metal parts - works like a charm!
Colors make me think of steampunk art 😉. Nice work on the build and looking forward when the engine is back in the car. I like the introduction to Cerakote; pricey but seems to have a high paint coverage. Keep it up!
I think 40’s are too small for a 2.4L engine, they’re usually used on much smaller engines, 45’s would be a better choice but let’s see how it goes… You’re also missing mini velocity stacks that fit inside those air filters.
Hey Austin... still a little disappointed you're not gonna use some kind of forced induction.... but hey... twin 40 side drafts, mega cool 😎😎😎,I cut my teeth modifying with VW mk1 golf gti's (or as you call them, rabbits), and I ripped out the k-tronic injection and replaced with some twin 40's.... the induction noise is something else!!! You may be a little young for this reference, but I got some little stickers for the bottom of my number plates saying 'More throat than Linda Lovelace'.... those that know will know, lol 😉🤣🤣
Keep it NA. The gains aren't worth the money. R engines are a lot of things but high power motors they are not. No need to try and turn them into something they are not.

I run a 32/36 webber..your lucky to find those weber carbs are nearly obsolete!
Same.
I can't wait to hear them at full throtle when you test drive it...!!! Hipnotic sound....
Absolutely Love the look of the carbs, throw some red filters on there for the accent, Would pop so nicely.
I like seeing carbs being rebuilt, it's amazing how they work, almost like magic.
They are cool.
If you haven’t already you might consider getting a wide band O2 sensor and gauge to help you tune these carbs. It really helped me get mine running right. It’s so nice to just see what’s happening, instantly, for all the various load cases and conditions.
Yes I’m planning on doing a wideband! What gauge did you go with?

The level of patience and attention to detail is outstanding. 👍
Surely at this point those wheels have to change to bronze! Will complement the patina and fit in with the rest of the theme so much more
Soft solder and flux for the fixing the die cast zinc covers with the hole
Wish I had someone like you around to help me with my 1984 Toyota pickup-22R
I LOVE THE ENERGY ON THIS CHANNEL MAN
Those look awesome on their own; going to look even better on that engine!
What do you use in your parts washer damn thats some good stuff

Lookin good man . Hopefully you run non ethanol with those . Also check for pin holes in the floats .
Great work as always....wheels should be the same colour as the sidies
Looks fabulous. Can wait for the final touches. Excellent mate.
very nice, I always admired the dual webers on inlines
Don't know if they're a separate piece, but the filters would look good in that red I think
Stright fire on this build - allright Austin
A U S T I N ! ! ! Love the show bro! 😁👍🏼
At 4.13 you are removing the pin the opposite way 😅.
It should come out from the non-split side.
Gotta admit...sandblasting parts looks very therapeutic.
Love that bronze.
Whoo Hooo! It's going to be a rippa'
I'm having flashbacks of spending way too long polishing a set of these to a mirror finish back in the day 😫
Amigo enséñame todo lo qué sabes para ser mecánico como tu cuado queres que llege a tu taller
Let's Talk^^^**
Thanks for watching****^^
Looking forward to to your next video 😎😎😎
What's your opinion in 12R engine?????
I have 1983 Hilux with 12R engine ..
Can I convert my 12R carburetor to this one you are using
Can't wait for the engine 😉
Soon!
Sweeter than pie! Provissimo!
Are side draft carburetors better than a Webber carburetor? Also are you gonna make a video of the red truck being sold?
Those are Webers. Sidedraft just means they are horizontal.
No thread locker on the butterfly screws?
Much love from Burundi 🇧🇮
I think 40’s are too small for a 2.4L engine, they’re usually used on much smaller engines, 45’s would be a better choice but let’s see how it goes…
You’re also missing mini velocity stacks that fit inside those air filters.
Bitchen' setup. I'm almost able to keep myself from mentioning that you didn't use carb dip. The insides would have come out a lot cleaner.
That burnt bronze is gorgeous
Appreciate the hardwork
👍🏽🇺🇸👍🏽 looking good Austin
I still want to know what happened to big red!?
📩📩congratulations you're shortlisted among the winners today use the what'sapp number above to DM ✍✍
What color are you going to pint the pick up
Looking better and better...
What do you use in your parts washer
what's the advantage over using a Weber 38?
Check out Detroit steel wheel company for period correct wheels 👌 👍🏿 👏 🙌 😎
I enjoy what you do..
Niceee. That Bronze is a sweet color....now you gotta do over the oil pan to match lol
Bronze is great but colored oil pans serve no purpose especially on a lowered car.
Those covers were probably some sort of cast "pot metal"
Hey Austin... still a little disappointed you're not gonna use some kind of forced induction.... but hey... twin 40 side drafts, mega cool 😎😎😎,I cut my teeth modifying with VW mk1 golf gti's (or as you call them, rabbits), and I ripped out the k-tronic injection and replaced with some twin 40's.... the induction noise is something else!!! You may be a little young for this reference, but I got some little stickers for the bottom of my number plates saying 'More throat than Linda Lovelace'.... those that know will know, lol 😉🤣🤣
Can’t turbo everything haha I’ve always wanted to run side drafts!
@@austinniemelanah, no turbo....Eaton m45 super charger... just sayin, lol😉😎
Keep it NA. The gains aren't worth the money. R engines are a lot of things but high power motors they are not. No need to try and turn them into something they are not.
any update on selling the red truck?
🖐🖐wonder if you take your vehicles to any shows?
how were the shaft seals?
Welcome
