Carburators VS. Fuel-injection

I think the ol' carb is better,you could adjust the fuel-air mixture,and you'd get more power,and if one injector in a injection engine is broken,the whole engineis screwed,plus you can buy better carbs,4-barrel,six-pack,2-barrel,etc...


CARBS ALL THE WAY :thumbsup:
 
Fuel injection - much more efficient use of fuel, much more consistent power and torque delivery, and you don't get the same degradation in performance that you get with a carb.

they are easy to tune,with the right knowledge of course ;)

You obviously haven't spent hours trying to chase a flat spot on a mate's Peugeot 504 Solex carb...
 
For Drag Racing I believe in the KISS principle: So Carbs for Dragging.

For Road racing or endurance racing FI. Injection makes more power, smoother, and more economically. Also, No chance of the motor leaning out in corners.
 
For sheer ease of adjustment and the ability to STAY adjusted, I would have to go for the injectors for the best power production.
Chevy wouldn't have put them on the 'Vette as far back as 1956 if it wasn't the "powerhouse".

I feel that the fact that all automakers now use fuel injection kinda tells you which is better.
That's because it's just about impossible to get past emission regulations with a carburettor.

yeah wes got to keeps are envirment clean specially in california, damn smog regulations.

Well, given the murk in Sydney I had to drive through this morning to get to work, I personally don't have a problem with them.
 
I know California has the tightest smog restrictions in North America (it's been known to force auto companies to lower horsepower on autos so they can comply) - I wonder about the world.

you dont have to warm a fuel injected car up on a cold morning either!...bloody vacumme carbs...:mad:


...and you don't have to worry about vapour lock on hot days too!!
 
Fuel injection is easier to tune, as long as you have a stand alone management system. The problem is, car companies don't like people messing with their systems, so they make it as difficult as possible.
