I know for sure that Im going to stick dual carbs on my 1975 2.0 But the mechanic said its going to cost $500-$600 for the carbs he hasn't looked yet to see what he can get. I asked if they were weber carbs and he said those are going to cost alot more. Im thinking about getting some carbs online myself and just pay for the labor to get them put on. That will probley be cheaper. But Im not sure of any good places. Im looking for some good carbs that arn't going to be over kill but will make my porsche run really good.
Im asking for help with the carbs and I have made my mind up that Im not sticking with fuel injection so please don't tell me how good fual injection is and how I should not go with carbs. Thanks to all those who help (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) |

QUOTE Does anyone here not drive a 914 with carbs. All I have seen is fuel injection people and really havn't got a real good opinion why I should not switch to carbs. Someone with dual carbs give me your opinion. Most of us, aren't "fuel injection people". We are motorheads - car people. The 914 came with fuel injection so it's what most people have. It sounds like you have a mental block about working on the car's fuel system. We are just trying to save a $1000 bill from your mechanic for a carb conversion. If your tank is clogged, going to carbs isn't going to help. Do some basic troubleshooting before you throw in the towel. |
