The Weber 48 IDA is the carburetor of choice for serious air-cooled performance builds — drag cars, big-bore strokers, and Type 1 engines pushing 150+ horsepower. This complete EMPI kit pairs genuine Weber 48 IDA downdraft carburetors with everything needed to bolt on a no-compromise induction setup. No more mixing and matching parts to make a kit work.
Kit Includes
- Two genuine Weber 48 IDA 4R carburetors (pre-jetted, 37mm venturis, jet screens installed)
- Standard length aluminum intake manifolds (clearanced for stock heads, port-match ready)
- Round bar Tayco competition cross-bar linkage (EMPI 43-5240)
- Aluminum velocity stacks
- Steel mounting brackets (allow optional air cleaner use)
- Fuel line, brass tee fitting, inline filter
- Manifold gaskets and complete mounting hardware
Why 48 IDA Over HPMX / IDF
The Weber 48 IDA is a true downdraft design with massive 48mm throats — significantly larger than 40mm or 44mm sidedraft alternatives. For engines over 1915cc, big-bore strokers, or any build targeting peak top-end power and RPM, the IDA is the racing standard. Below that displacement, an HPMX 40/44 or IDF kit will make better street power and drive smoother.
Fitment
- VW Type 1 dual-port engines, 1915cc and larger recommended
- Beetle, Karmann Ghia, Dune Buggy, Sand Rail, Baja Bug
- Will not clear stock fan shroud without modification — 36HP-style shroud recommended
- Verify hood/decklid clearance before ordering
Shipping & Box Size
- Approximate carton: 24 × 18 × 14 inches

- High-value kit ships fully insured with signature required

Installation note: Air cleaners not included (sold separately). Single carb applications require a vacuum-assisted distributor for proper performance. Tuning a 48 IDA is more involved than a stock carb — be prepared to dial in jetting for your specific engine combination. Professional tuning recommended for first-time IDA users.
Pairs with: EMPI Pro-Sync carb synchronizer (43-5712-0) for proper dual carb balancing.
