40's or standard Injection

[phunkynova]

On the 1.6 motor which give more power running it on Weber twin 40 dcoe's or standard fuel Injection and dose anybody Know how much power difference there is.
Thanks for your help.

Carbs would give you more power over the standard injection system.
Unless you go for aftermarket ecu and throttlebodys

for the cost of it all, its not worth it i dont think, youll gain what... 10 horse tops, for £4/500 of the parts. you could prob get a cam and headwork done for that money and see better results.

Its not so much the carbs that give thae power, more the fact that fitted with a hotter cam shaft, it will then be capable of more than the injection likely would. But 130ish is doable on the std stuff & would still run well in cold etc.

injection all the way !!

[Stuart]

imho, well setup, BOTH are as good as eachother.

one sounds far hornier though.

just swaped mine back to standard injection m8 its far to dear to run

[Adam]

Injection will always be better than carbs, end of really.
Yes you can get good results with carbs, but better results with injection

Carbs have had their day it seems

never! ive just bought some 48's for my mantalol

back on topic tho, it depends what u want, carbs will give more power than standard injection and ecu but an aftermarket ecu on standard management, would be better if setup well.

surely twin carbs suck in more air and can supply more fuel = more power than an o.e injection set up..?

true what i think adam was getting at is that injection is alot smoother and more reliable hence throttleboddies best of both worlds injection and more fuel and air

but i certainly wouldnt say carbs have had there day i used to run 48s on my xe and pulled 196 bhp if it wasnt for the cost of getting more power out the engine id still be running it but a let was just so much cheaper

[phunkynova]

Thanks for all your inputs I think I'll go with the 40's as I will be using the car for rally-cross and I'm getting no where with the wire loom. Old carb car and fuel injection looms don't go together.Anybody fancy a holiday Plzen CZ and sort out the loom while your here.lol.
