sidedraft carb vs standard EFI

Postby ke25sr » Sat Jun 17, 2006 5:21 pm

this poll doesnt include the obviously better quad throttle body(injection perfection)

What is better on a performance Engine?

good old sidedraughts ie: dellorto, weber, mukini (tuned properly of coarse)

Stock EFI (in standard form no bigger mods than lets say decent filter)

This obviously depends hugely on what motor you're talking about.

Care to enlighten us?

Shall we say, stock bluetop.

Carbs FTW. :) (If not performance, purely for the noise!)

Injection will get a smoother idle, and generally better fuel economy. Carbs sound fantastic however.

performance I'd stay with injection.
But yeah, carbs for the sound

but also as said,
specs of engine, whats it used for etc etc
But in general, injection. How many high performance cars do you GENERALLY see with carbs.
Cant believe im still a member here.

Im talking about my car.

2tgeu was originally EFI when i did the conversion ive gone to twin sidedraught. Partly for the simplicity. Also i believe they are superier to the stock EFI on a 2tgeu.

And sure carbs make a good sound ( not a reakl good reason to use them)
its more the straight through intake design over the bent curvy 4 into 1 ugly intake a 2tgeu comes out with.

finally: a car comes factry with EFI some 1 wants to race it so often ive seen the conversion to carb.

especially in the 4age.

look at my profile!!

Over a rudimentary EFI system like that, sidedrafts probably will be better all round. Modern EFi is far better though.

on a 2TG, definiately sidedrafts if you have them available to you.

by the time you by a clean set of carbs, a manifold, filters and jetting, a Link starts looking really cheap and economical.
