<x-charset iso-8859-1>Good question... First off while Id love NEW FI I cant afford it, Im talking about using the D or L jet systems, and fitting them on the motor as they were supposed to be.. I have alot of good used or NOS D jet and L jet parts from quite a few different setups, it will cost me little or nothing. Why do I like FI so much? ( I can see Vaders radar just go off...) Carbs are old technology that was ditched years ago, when upgrading why go backwards? Im an electronic Technician so I have a pretty good understanding on how the FI works and how to modify or calibrate even the original systems to use with modified engines (within reason). Changing mixtures and curves with FI is a simple matter of changing resistances, thermistors, and minor easy to make adjustments in most cases if you know what your doing. The FI has a MUCH BETTER way of handling warmup curves etc. than carbs, Youll never get that flawless startup, warmup, and operation out of carbs over the whole temperature range than you will with FI, its one of the reasons carbs were made obsolete... can you all remember how much better the production cars of other makers ran and how much more reliable they were the year they switched to Fuel Injection?? Like the Honda's, the Fords, the Chevy's? I DO... as I was working in the auto service industry at the time. So, its FI for me, and Ill let everybody in on how I do it when I get around to converting the Notch or putting T4 power into my Square. keith ----- Original Message ----- From: <MNWebb@aol.com> To: <type3@vwtype3.org> Sent: Friday, November 09, 2001 12:47 AM Subject: [T3] 2.o FI Keith? > Keith - Why so adamant about staying with FI even in a bigger engine?
