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. |

QUOTE Low end power? Bow to FI as it has better low end power. That should be spelt BLOW With the FI that came with the car the low end sucked. On a slow corner I would have to go for first. With the Webers I only need to go for first when I stop. The FI also had a 'Lag' at take off. But the fuel milege was great, LA to San diego on a half a tank. |
