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. |

Love the sound of dual webers
Once setup, carbs are more reliable than the 40yr 1st gen injection Very clean install over injection Now, I would like to megasqirt a 1911. I think that would be fun. |

Love that sound? cuz thats all you can hear carbs are soo loud. I have a CD player and like to listen to music driving not that sucking sound. Once setup? yep, and then they go out of sync again and again. Clean? Stock FI is really clean and reliable as its still going strong. Low end power? Bow to FI as it has better low end power. Tuneable? Bolt on the stock parts and its tuned or if you have a 2056 w/ mild cam adjust the MPS and forget about it. Plus you can get 30mpg with Djet / Ljet and FI has built in altitude adjustment for those up into the mountain road days. In 1999 I went back to djet pulling the 40 dells and have never looked back, never been broke down by the side of the road either with djet. Carbs? several times...and they are sitting on the shelf gathering dust... Attached image(s) |
