So I am hearing this is a very attractive setup for 4+ cylinder engines, and can be made to work with ITB setups for a flat six, such as PMO's. The 4BBL pricing sure is right, and it's said to be "self tuning" and a dream to work with/on.
Anyone have any experience of this, or know of a Porsche engine running it? |

Apparently, Holley recently released a system set up to work on anything...and one that works very well on six ITBs for a flat six, according to a master Porsche builder. I'm guessing that's the PMO setup, unfortunately priced to keep carbs worthy of equal consideration.
Fwiw, one thing the V8 peeps get right is power, and how to make it. They understand it, and are focused on it in a way Porsche people aren't. Lots of people in my industry make fun of GM, but the smart ones respect GM Powertrain. Meanwhile, threads like these are what has kept me away from MS: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...7904&st=600 Seven years and still working to get it right. Carbs look wonderful by comparison, and I wouldn't expect better results because I definitely wouldn't put myself ahead of Zach or Mark or any of the others involved. Motec systems set up by pros seem to work really well, but used to (used to) make MFI and Motronic look cheap. And now there's a Holley system that at least one Porsche engine builder is saying works great for 1/4 the price of Motec, or 1/2~ the price of a "budget" Motec system? A price point that might start making sense if I sell my Webers and Electramotive ignition system? Color me interested... |
