Hi All -
Got a line on a rebuilt 2.7 out of a 1977 911S. It is 100% complete including the full CIS system. What kind of power loss would I experience if I stripped off the CIS and went with carbs? The motor is only 165hp to begin with... Thanks! Scott S |

I cannot support the following with empirical evidence, BUT;
I would say that you would not lose any peak hp with the switch. You will probably lose a little driveability as the CIS gets you a feedback Lamba circuit (correct me if it doesn't have a O2 sensor) and is more flexible for all kinds of weather. Also, CIS has a large plate (Read: Restrictor) in the airflow which controls the amount of fuel in the fuel distributor and this has an impact on the pumping losses and efficiency of the engine. All in all, I'd think you could get about the same peak HP. That being said, I'd stick with the FI as it will be a better car to drive. |
