[i][b] When it comes to drivability and general ease of driving for my wife's sake, chosing between 46 Dellortos, Webbers, and properly fuctioning fuel injection is a no brainer I assume.
Has anyone been successful with getting their better half to master driving their 914 carb conversions? It's only my physical disablity that's forcing me to give up my driver's seat. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif) |

Overall, FI is better in theory and often in practice. However, as our cars are now nearly 40 years old, getting your FI system in proper order can be difficult and expensive. Another issue is that the FI systems on our cars, D-Jet and L-Jet, were the earliest electronic injection systems, and are both essentially "open-loop" systems. Unlike modern systems, they have limited ability to adapt to the aging of the engine, and have no active control of the idle. As a result, the system requires precise adjustment to operate at its best. It's still better than carbs at dealing with the full load range of the engine, and altitude compensation, as well as warm-up (when adjusted correctly).
