Another "Is Fuel Injection a Worthwhile Upgrade?" Question
I ain't your bro
keep drinking the coolaide
The coolaide is thinking a carb is superior, I mean they basically are just fancy leaks generally
Yep, your right. You know everything but can’t keep a carb from icing up. Got it.
EFI is the best ever. The auto manufacturers are idiots and need the government to tell them what to do, even though the government never built anything.
If you love EFI it means you love complication and extra **** for nothing. Fuel mileage is only a concern for tree hugging, granola eating fools who think they can save the planet from some bullshit made up story.
If you want to make a carb’d engine last like an EFI engine, take the junk **** moronic self defeating choke off of it. All you need is a fast idle cam so uber important people like you who can’t spare 1 minute because the world will spin off its pins if you don’t get moving can get going. That’s all.
You win.
Yeah, the car still runs like that but it runs like trash, that's why carbs are the best, we all need to hold the brake, clutch and blip the throttle, and have it not start or idle in the cold and damp weather. I mean I just love stuff that has to be constantly messed with when I want to go to the store.
Yep, people love pissing away money to get nothing out of it when they're just commuting to work, sitting in traffic. Even a slant six A-body in good tune struggles to get 20 mpg when you can literally buy a bunch of cars now that get 30 mpg and make 1.5x the HP at the same time and hit 60 4 seconds faster, despite weighing more.
They also love waiting on inferior technology. They also love it when their mechanical fuel pump fails and washes out their oil and wrecks their rings and bearing, or that it has to run richer to not stumble and wear the rings out. The control is worse, you'll have to change the oil more often, you'll put more fuel in the cylinders with the accelerator pump, and it'll go out of tune faster.
Even my snowblower needs that "idiotic moronic choke" to start in the cold and run right when its not warmed up. It's just a way to do fuel enrichment.
BTW, I don’t know where you live (other than a fantasy land) but the wrecking yards are full of junk cars that have your beautiful EFI on it.
Yep, keep looking at what percentage of cars driving around have carbs on them, its Dec/Jan here in MI and its going to be less than 1% of the cars driving around right now. There are barely any carb cars left on the road that are driven often, let alone daily. Most of the carb cars are long crushed. Nobody wanted most of them that weren't cool looking 20 years ago. The amount of cars that went to the wrecking yards due to EFI is about zero. Most of those cars are there due to rust, transmission failure, or just plain being worn out. At the same time its not even uncommon for me to see an 88-91 Chevy Pickup with a TBI even here any time of the year.
Find me an OEM car with a carb that has 400k miles that hasn't been rebuilt. Just find it. Not even hard with EFI.
My first DD had 187k miles on it with MPFI and the car was a 1988 and the car ran flawlessly. The car went to the salvage yard due to rust.
