So there is a very significant noise difference between my 1.7 FM my car and the 2 L that I just drove down from Oregon. I know the cars are not identical so it’s not a complete apples to apples but the car with the carbs is significantly louder under pretty much all conditions.
I would expect an increased level of noise because unlike the FI system and the carbs are more open to the environment via the two air filters and how they’re mounted, just curious if that’s consistent with other people’s experiences? Thanks and happy Saturday all! |

D-Jet/LJet are really not that difficult and there is no performance gain with carbs on a stock motor. If there truly is a problem with the FI, be patient and take the time to evaluate each FI component, find the issue and fix it.
Putting the FI in a box and then carbs on a stock engine 914 just indicates the failure of the owner or his mechanic to understand and maintain the original FI. A person just does not wake up one day and say "I feel like swapping the perfectly good FI on my 914 with carbs today - just because I can." |
