[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) |

With the right FI setup, you can meet and/or exceed carbureted power. Both systems tuned properly will net reliability. A properly configured PEFI system will run excellent. A properly configured carb system will run excellent. Only differences would be... How many possible failure points in each? How tuneable are they? How expensive are they? Carbs you get three settings usually. 1) Idle 2) Midrange 3) WOT. PEFI you get... Wow, the whole RPM range can be configured. But I like FI, and would love to switch to a PEFI system.

(no offense carb. guy's, personal opinion) I have just switched to a MS, MAN what a difference! WAY more drivablity over stock EFI. They can be done for a modest price. A base PEFI is probably cheaper than carbs. And if your disability prevents you from driving you can do all the tuning in the world with your wife driving (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Hey Brando , what's preventing you from going to a PEFI? |

What's stopping me? Same thing that stops most people... Cost and time of install. I can't be without a vehicle for more than a day and a PEFI install would take maybe a week for me, because I'd have to tune it too. |
