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. |

I voted FI, but d and L-jet sucks....SDS baby
I've messed with weber's for years and it sucks compared to PEFI (P as in programmable) The only thing carbs beats PEFI on is the price. But then I think anything stock sucks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

But then I think anything stock sucks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) For stock motors, I'd go stock FI based on my own experiences. I've put about 4500 miles on my L-Jet 1.8 in the last year and it doesn't suck. Starts every time, warms up great, doesn't stall, doesn't stumble, runs the same in hot or cold weather, humid or dry. I'd rather spend the $$$ an SDS system would cost on tires, suspension and gas. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
