The Drag Strip Combo: Weber 48 IDA + Washburn Big Windows

The Weber 48 IDA is the carburetor of choice for serious air-cooled performance — drag cars, big-bore strokers, and Type 1 engines pushing 150+ horsepower. But once you bolt a pair of 48s onto a Beetle, your engine bay gets crowded fast, and routine service goes from quick to nearly impossible.

This bundle pairs the EMPI Dual Weber 48 IDA Carburetor Kit (Part #43-7328-0) with our Washburn Big Windows (11" x 7.75" laser-cut steel access panels) and saves you $150 off buying separately — our biggest bundle discount.

Why They Work Better Together:

• Access Where You Need It: 48 IDAs are big — the velocity stacks alone eat up serious real estate. Big Windows give you side-access through the rear wheel wells so you don't have to reach over the engine to touch the carbs.

• Race-Day Friendly: Jet changes, mixture screws, float adjustments — everything that was a pain before is now reachable in seconds. Critical when you're chasing tenths.

• Plug Service Without Pulling Carbs: With dual 48s, just pulling a spark plug used to mean disassembly. Not anymore.

• Built to Match the Build: Laser-cut steel panels with stainless button-head hardware. Quality that matches the flagship carburetor it pairs with.

What's Included:

• EMPI Dual Weber 48 IDA Carburetor Kit (#43-7328-0) — Type 1 with standard manifolds and linkage

• Pair of Washburn Big Windows (11" x 7.75") with threaded weld-in frames, panel covers, and stainless button-head hardware

Perfect For:

• Big-bore stroker Type 1 builds (2110cc+)

• Drag race Beetles and Bajas

• Show-quality outlaw builds where performance and serviceability both matter

Bundle Savings: $150 off when you buy together ($2,220 vs $2,370 separately).
