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! |

I run the cleaners that came with the Redline Weber kit and no sound complaints. I have driven a stock car with the same 2.0 and factory FI and mine sounds better. As for the FI vs carb debate I would point you to this forum. It’s been awhile since you wouldn’t find a frustrated FI owner on posting for help. Usually a couple on the top of the list of posts. It’s an old system getting older every day. My carbs are fairly new and I could order new ones tomorrow if I needed. Combined with a Pertronix pointless distributor and you have a level of reliability you will never find with antique FI. Everyone with a driver 914 should have their original FI just in a box on a shelf where it belongs.

I got my car in 1995 with 40 dells and 2 years later installed The Djet stuff back on after suffering with the carbs. Djet failed me once in all these years when the cht failed in my driveway. That agreement is weak as plenty of guys fight with their carbs |
