Fuel Injection vs Carbs, Which is better? Options

[jgara962]

I'm considering going to look at a '73 2.0L. The only thing holding me back is the FI has been converted to Webber 40's? What seems to work better/have more potential on 914's - the FI or Carbs? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

Any advice from those that have been there would be appriciated.

define "potential"??? stock FI is limited to allowable engine mods (aggressive cams and such) Carbs work with just about any combo as long as you can tune them aftermarket FI rules over both if serious modifications are to be done to the motor......

one thing you need to ask yourself: what do you feel more comfortable with? if you already know Carbs, you are set, they WILL WORK FINE... even on a stock engine...

if you really like the FI, see my previous post... they are around...


btw, the engine is NOT your biggest concern when looking at buying a 914... it's the body and how much RUST you will have to fix(no such thing as a rust free car, just "relatively" rust free)

engines can be fixed/bought, a good project body is hard to come by...
