I recently purchased a 911e 2.2l engine. Befor I install it in my 914, should I change carbs? A previous owner at some point changed from MFI to zenith 40 tin carbs. From my understanding, this is probably not the best setup for a 911e 2.2? I have looked at the different options, which do you think is most appropriate taking cost, hp/torque gains, drivability...
1. Leave the zenith carbs Pros- I already have them Cons- probably better forming options 2. Change back to MFI I probably can't do this one. I have no where to obtain the setup and I really am more comfortable with carbs 3. Change to weber 40 Ida's Pros- ? Power? Cons- expensive. Most likely between $2000-$2500 after rebuild 4. PMO carbs Pros- improved overall performance compared with the zeniths. Easy setup. Is it worth the cost? Cons- very expensive-$3600. Here are some other things that I am doing to the engine other than basic maintenance. Pertronix for the distributor, new plug wires (clewett), msd 6al (I already had this), msds headers. I do not plan on racing this car anymore, just spirited street driving. |
