Nissan D21 Weber carburetor swap // Z24i engine

[@tomengle7176]

I bought mine in 03/2015, absolutely the best thing I could have done. REDLINE K644-38 for VG24i & VG30i did a very good job making this as simple as is possible to install. This video was very complete and did a good job as well. If I would change anything, it would be to use some oil, or grease on the adapter gaskets and a small drop of loctite on the threads. Also, I used the "other" cable bracket, the fork type. Works great, lasts a long time. Great product, great video explaining things. Tom

[@upsidedowndog1256]

I did the Weber conversion and a header in my 84 pickup. It went from 22-23mpg to well over 30mpg at highway speeds. Been like that since 2008, no problems at all.

[@Will_my65gmc]

Weird problems like that are never fun. Not knowing exactly what an issue is can be stressful. Glad to hear that your fix is working well so far. Hopefully it'll be good to go now and you can enjoy your truck.

[@hawaiialljamup]

I made short vid of my weber on my truck...still waiting to put the fuel pump been storming...still get some work to do.tbi lasted me 18 yrs.

[@ayp1938]

Thanks for making this, im looking into doing this on my 88 hardbody

[@nicklucky8143]

Hey man, I know this was made 4 years ago so hopefully you might see this. Would you be able to share what the red and the blue wires from the wiring harness at 14:13 connect to and where they go if you know. I have an 86 Hardbody extended cab my dad has left around and im trying to get it running again. It’s really in bad condition but one step at a time.

[@nicklucky8143]

He said he was having trouble with the fuel pump and that’s why he’s left it sitting, it used to crank but the fuel pump wouldn’t turn on

[@browneagle2774]

Great video! I am almost done installing the Weber kit on my 1987 z24i. One question, what do I connect to the vacuum advance port? Thank you

[@masonderryberry9864]

Did you ever figure this out

[@marcusbrown1318]

Which one did you buy

[@AstonThaRat]

Looks like you installed the Weber 38 Outlaw. I think you’ll like your new carb bc it has a couple of cool upgrade options. I have the Weber 32/36 DGEV which is a progressive carb so 0-70% throttle only one barrel is opened and from 71-100% throttle both barrels are opened. It’s sort of like overdrive for your carb. Lol! I ordered the Sync Link from Pierce Manifolds online and that converts my 32/36 to non-progressive so that both barrels open simultaneously like the outlaw. I never added the pump jet that came with the sync link bc it was running way too rich so I just left it the way it was. I drove 433 miles in my Mazda B when it was like upper 80s the whole way and I still averaged 26 mpg. Look up “air plenum” for your Weber and see if that’s something you might be interested in. I think I’m gonna be getting one for mine in a week or two. I’m still reading reviews for it. Another great video bro!

[@scrapingpavement]

Awesome I'll look into and ya I'm trying to figure my gas mileage as I write this. Just got back from a 3 hour round trip with the new carb!

[@AstonThaRat]

@@scrapingpavement dope! I paid 2.65 per gallon on average my last trip so basically for every 100 miles I drove it only cost $10.50 in gas. My engine is bored .030" over with an aggressive cam and PaceSetter header installed. Only creature comfort is power steering but that's less than a month old.

[@lukegreen8448]

@@AstonThaRat did you notice much improvement running this setup over stock? S it worth doing?

[@AstonThaRat]

luke green Yeah it’s got way more pep. The Sync Link comes with a pump jet that has 2 arms to squirt fuel in each barrel. It was getting way too much fuel with that on there so I kept the stock single arm pump jet on it. U could use the dual arm pump jet but then you’d have to change the jetting on the carb itself to reduce the amount of fuel coming out of it.

[@lukegreen8448]

@@AstonThaRat beautiful, i run a stock z24, they seem great for low end power but it defintely struggles up hills, especially cause of 4x4. I would love to drop a weber and extractors with a side cab exhaust exit, and maybe drop a performance cam in for a more balance powerband.

[@javajetson257]

have you been able to manufacture those brackets and have them for sale yet?

[@hermyherm365]

Oh heck yeah !! Nice love the content bro !

[@notoriouzzly4866]

When I installed my Weber on my b2200 I installed it the opposite way with the throttle cable next to the fire wall didn’t know you can install it either way

[@scrapingpavement]

Ya I've had this on for a couple years, my buddy had theres on the way you're saying as well. I like running it this way aligns nicely with fuel line and cable length in my case.

[@snovak57]

Great vid! Did you modify the stock distributor? Or swap w with older type?

[@scrapingpavement]

Stock distributer no issues.

[@outlawlifestylectchawaiima9411]

Man I wish someone made this video 5 years ago when I had my 89 hardbody NapZ with the same issues. I was planning to do the same swap. Comes to find out it was the gas mixture with the air inside the carb that was not equal. I had more air than gas, which was causing the same issues you explained.

[@Realmccoymowers]

@@zaydiux1 did you watch the video at all lol

[@danielwatson1266]

If I were to fabricate an intake manifold, would my carburator options widen up? I've always wanted to ditch all the sensors and make my hardbody EMP proof but I assumed I'd have to switch everything out from the heads up, didn't realise it'd be this easy. If so, what do you think would go well with an 88 2.4l model?

[@hawaiialljamup]

Did your timing be off and allcover the place cause mines run good but my timing cant go to wat it was..

[@scrapingpavement]

Mines the same timing as before the weber swap.

[@hawaiialljamup]

@@scrapingpavement m8nes changed and dont go back it cant turn anymore.its like 8 degrees.

[@rodneymccluskey6248]

Did you have to change out the distributor and the coils? Is there a difference between the carburetor versus throttle body? Coil and distributor that is

[@scrapingpavement]

Nope, the kit i got does not require switching of coils or distributer. I suppose you could do your own swap by getting parts off the nissan 720 z24, but i have no idea if that would work or not.

[@jakeb.5489]

Did the barb fitting at 9:40 come with your kit?

[@scrapingpavement]

I don't believe so, had to buy it.

[@davidwest2773]

If you’re removing the EGR valve how are you stopping spark knock? Since that is its sole purpose

[@scrapingpavement]

I don't have spark knock, so can't answer that question lol.

[@frankm8533]

Best thing I ever did to my B2200 was switch to the Weber

[@cesarpena702]

So plug in or plug up the vacuum on the carb

[@scrapingpavement]

I don't have any vacume lines on my carb, I have them all blocked off.

[@orionduffy589]

I have a question. So I did the weber swap it starts but after about 1 second of sitting at idle the engine try’s to run away (constantly increases rpm’s) as if I’m punching the throttle even with the throttle disconnected so I have to cut it off I’m stuck with this problem

[@scrapingpavement]

Could be idle screw or the cold idle screw, My cold idle was set pretty high. I also found that the weber it self doesn't have a good spring return so I made a bracket to pull throttle back completely. Also could check your fuel pressure.

[@orionduffy589]

@@scrapingpavement thanks! It was my idle screws I had to play with them until I got it but now I got t figure out why it pours gas instead of misting it which cause it to bog and backfire

[@AdamOravetz]

I wanted to hear it run. Even if it still sounds the same.

[@scrapingpavement]

Need to fix some exhaust leaks and I forsure will post a running video.

ive been looking for parts for my 1986 d21 4x4 but i cant find any what would be a good website to visit and get parts from even upgrade . my local auto parts store cant even get 90% of my parts. thank you

[@scrapingpavement]

There's not a ton of places for parts on these trucks. For body panels and Replacment parts best bet is junk yards like pick n pull. I know rough country sells a small lift kit, djm sells a couple items. Weber makes a carb kit. The nissan dealership can get you some parts but not cheap. As well as used ebay items. Otherwise I would check out some forums like infamousnissan or nicoclub theres a ton of helpful info on those.

@scrapingpavement are you in California? If so, does it pass smog check?

No, washington has no emissions. Probably wouldnt pass if i had to guess..

What’s the difference between a 32/36 and a 38?

[@jessecotey]

32/36 in a progressive carb, it has two different sized barrels. the smaller one opens first then once its mostly open the second barrel (larger one) starts to open - this carb is better for fuel economy but less top end power. the 38 is 2 barrel both 38 and open at the same time! More power, more fuel use!
