So I've got my 2.0 completely torn down at this stage in my rebuild. Now I am torn in which direction to go - stay with carbs or go back to FI?
Option 1. Carbs - the car came with dual Weber 40 IDFs, but they are in SAD shape. I'm thinking one will have to be completely replaced, then likely rebuilt after I buy a second hand one. I'll also have to buy a cam and lifters for this setup, as my engine has a stock FI cam. So I'm thinking I'm looking at around $700 to go this route ($200 for a second hand carb, $100 in rebuild kits, $400 for cam and lifters). Here is a pic of the carb in question - yes, half of the butterfly is missing, I found it burnt up inside the cylinder. Option 2. FI - I would rather take the car back to FI, the way the car is intended to be set up. The FI cam that I have now looks to be in pretty good shape and I'll have someone who knows what they are looking at verify that. So I'm thinking this option would better (for resale, etc.) and I'm HOPING cheaper than carbs. I'm leaning heavily towards this option, but since I'm such a newbie to all this, I'm looking for some input. |

I have a complete D-Jet system for a 2.0L for sale.
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...=235286&hl= $500 plus shipping. Includes extra (spare) key parts. And if the head on the side of that trashed carb got SO HOT that the base of the carb fused to the head, you are going to need to replace that head. |

You might install a degree wheel and sensor while you're putting the engine together JIC. Or you could do a purely mechanical FI system https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_A7rPcvYCM |
