Currently have a 2.2E/S with Webers. It runs well and makes good power, having been tuned on the dyno and further dialed in since then, but I have discovered I'm just not a carburetor person. Fuel economy isn't good enough for the size of engine/car, and the emissions bother me—both in terms of the smells in my garage and while driving the car. And yes, we've been totally spoiled by low emissions cars.
What I'm curious about, for anyone who has lived with carbs and MFI: Is MFI noticeably cleaner and/or more efficient than carbs? Or is EFI the way to go? I'm in no hurry on this, but curious for the experiences of others. Yes, Motronic, but I actually like the 2.2 engine. Thanks! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

A properly restored and tuned MFI setup will be close in cost to a running 3.2 engine. I don’t think it’s what you really want. A properly tuned modern day efi system would do it but again, by the time your done -$$$.
