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. |

It will be eight years with my 914 2.0 Had troble with FiI at first, until got new wires and brain , Have not had any ploblem since then. that was 7 years ago. If works leave it alone. Run every time. no tow trucks. Go 80 mph down the fwy no problem.

F.I. any day. My WRX has fully programmable stock and a programmable TEC-II (redundant F.I. no less) switch back and forth as needed. My 914-6 has programmable Autronic with individual stacks. The new 2.0 has Webers but I'm trying to find a working stock 74 DJET. If not I'll fake it and put a Megasquirt hidden somewhere.
The tripple and double webers sitting in the garage sure are pretty though.... |

My D/jet 2056 with Webcam # 73 runs great but you need to know how to tweek the FI so it'll run well. I'm sure it's the same with carbs. So----maybe it's all in what a person knows how to work with. Ray |
