So there is a lot of difference of opinion.
With a totally stock 2L engine including ignition, cam etc do carbs work effectively? More noticeable power? Drivability? MPG? Worth the hassle? let the games begin!

I have a perfectly tuned FI system, its fine.
BUT If it werent for the re-classing penalty I would switch to dual webers in a nanosec.... they are cooler sounding, and alot more fun to tune that this archaic FI system with all the limitations... It is a 34 year old car...Carbs are appropriate and an easy way to liven up the motor with a different cam. You can get 140 hp with carbs...not with Djet...at least no one has yet... So I would do carbs...even if I have to wait... I dont wait for the volvo, or any of my other cars...but I cant run the twisties with those... I think carbs make the anticipation even better when you have to wait five minutes to beat the snot out of your car... If it was a daily driver I would say FI is the way to go. If its a toy, a fun toys to beat on, not a concourse car...I would say carbs are the most fun for the buck...as long as you can tune them yourself. I agree with an earlier post...if your car is bucking and spitting, you may have other problems... If you set up a set of carbs correctly, you will have a great running car. Rich |
