So basically I'm just curious here on who's opinion is what and why. I might have seen a similar post a while back but I don't remember for sure.
My personal opinion is carbs. I don't know what a new injector for a 914 is going for but generally speaking carb kits are cheaper than new injectors. Plus, I like trying to fine tune carbs- if one is set right the engine can be extremely efficient. My teener is set up for carbs and I plan to leave it that way. |

FI baby. Why? #1 - When I was a 18 I worked in a carb shop. Even then (1969) it was obvious that carbs had run their course ( in stock applications).
#2 - I watched Lew (shewlew) piss and moan while throwing money at his carb set up over and over. Since he converted (or as they say in west TX "decided to get the shit out of his neck") to FI, I don't see (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) him anymore. In all fairness to carbs I believe most of their complaints arise from improper application (ie the FI cam) or after market POS set ups. IMHO, I believe America was the only one to get carbs right. And towards the end we began to complicate them w/ centerflow technology or worse, internal non serviceable metering blocks. |
