[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) |

All car makers went to FI because its a better fuel management system providing better drivability, torque, mpg etc than carbs.
In your case, a old unmaintained FI could surely be worst preforming than a set of new carbs. Todays new Webbers are not the same quality as the old ones so they are a crap shoot. this is an old arguement that has gone on for over the 13 years I have been into 914's.... Dual carbs when setup with a proper carb cam will out perform the Stock FI. FI will out perform a dual carb setup on a stockish motor....its time tested. |
