To the guys who are saying you can't run EFI with rowdy/wild cams - you are wrong. I've done it (and it was even on a 914) and drivability was excellent, except for a lumpy idle that did not sound unlike the Hondas in the video above.
There are only two advantages MFI has over EFI that I can see: 1. You can use very free flowing intake systems like ITBs without worrying about MAP or MAF sensors. 2. You have a 200psi high pressure side driving the fuel injectors, which theoretically results in better fuel atomization and some free HP. Aside from that, MFI is a bitch to tune and a compromise on anything other than the exact engine it was designed for, so most likely you could get a better tune with EFI (and more HP) on any given non-stock engine combo. Also, to the guys who are telling the Honda guy to shut up, it might pay to have a more open mind. |
