Hi folks a 914"expert said carbs will burn the valves on a 914 and not run well. Is this true? is the fuel economy worse when using duel carbs? Would you run orig fuel injection on a 2.0 or carbs thank you, Joe

No carbs will not burn valves. Fuel economy is worse with carbs. Good running 2.0L should get 28 mpg or better. Factory got it right all along for street cars. Big engines are another story all together.

Big engines are another story all together. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I've driven both and I vastly prefer FI. Once the FI is nicely sorted and you have gained a good understanding of the intricacies of the system it will serve you well. I suspect that most carb conversions are done out of frustration with trouble sourcing FI parts and troubleshooting D-Jet/L-Jet systems. Also carbed systems tend to have the lingering smell of gasoline at all times. I personally hate that, although I know some people think of it like perfume. I see you already PM'd the person selling a full FI system in the classified section. It looks like a decent system at a good price. There are lots of resources and vendors on this site that can be of help in getting the original FI system sorted out. Good luck whichever way you decide to go! |
