    Default 16v smallport, efi or webber?

    I'm currently rebuilding a 16v small port, since it doesn't have a intake manifold, I begin to wonder, should I stick to the efi system or go a dual weber or even single webber set up, I can't decide.
    What would you guys recomend ?

    EFI is much easier.... Hardest part is a cut n shut mani and wiring but there are allot of good people around who can do that for you for not too much $$$.

    Carb manifolds aren't that cheap and you need to mess with the dizzy to get them running properly. You also need to continually keep tuning the carbies every so often to keep them running properly.

    I haven't done it personally, but allot of people who have done it tend to say it wasn't worth the effort as they don't run as good as an EFI setup.

    Yet a couple of people swear it is better than SEX

    You dont want carbs for a daily, especially if you arent familiar with them. Nothing worse than having to fuck around with carbs at 6am while its 1*c outside.

    I cant see any point going carbs on a daily driver. The standard ECU can take a mild cam upgrade, which should be more than enough for a daily driver. The only advantage is the beautiful induction noise.

    What difference does it make? EFI setups in E7's aren't all that complicated. People do it all the time.

    An intank pump, FOC relay and wiring plus an efi filter in the bay is all that is required.

    Open quads can fill that void rather nicely...
