Title: Single 48IDA? Post by: carlito421 on March 22, 2011, 19:49:07 pm Do you have pictures of engine with single 48IDA?
Title: Re: Single 48IDA? Post by: Zach Gomulka on March 22, 2011, 19:54:17 pm There is a pic of one in the How To Hot Rod VW Engines book. I remember it saying something about getting terrible mileage ::)

(http://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/200856.jpg) looks like it's sitting on an adaptor too. and i second the remark about bad mileage. Title: Re: Single 48IDA? Post by: 71CALRIPPER on March 23, 2011, 11:19:04 am Yeah looks like a twin solex to IDA adapter...makes it sit very high...

Title: Re: Single 48IDA? Post by: TexasTom on March 23, 2011, 17:52:29 pm I've always liked the look ... right out front, IN YOUR FACE!
Better yet, anyone have a spare single Berg 58 or 62 Terminator?!!! :o That would be AWESOME! ;D I remember, way back when (mid 70s) there was a guy my brother ran once or twice ... used a single sidedraft on a Bug, pointed towards the rear of the car & required a modified decklid. Ran very well, especially against my brother's Holley BugSpray :D. Title: Re: Single 48IDA? Post by: Donny B. on March 23, 2011, 18:27:04 pm There was a guy here in Phoenix that ran a Carter 4-barrel on his bug and it worked great. He was getting better than 30MPG with much improved performance. Don't recall the engine size, but it was not large. The guy was very ingenious!
Title: Re: Single 48IDA? Post by: Tony M on March 23, 2011, 21:00:52 pm I had both the 48IDA manifold with no adapter and the sidedraft manifold. Ran the IDA on my 1679cc engine w/roller crank. Never got to use the sidedraft. Engine combo worked good with the IDA. Dont have any pict's from that long ago.
