Fuel Injection
Hey guys just wondering what are the greatest benefits obtained from using EFI in comparison with carbs. I was thinking of making the change sometime
in the future and was not only aiming to make it more"streetable" but also hoping to get more power. What are some good throttle bodies,
injectors,fuel rails etc on the market for vw application?... Are they suitable for racing?

efi hardware or injection perfection.
as for power good luck.
it will produce no more power than carbies at wide open throttle if the carbies have been done correctly and judging by your power figures i would say
they are,but it will give you a much better torque curve.
and yes racing no problem.
that's my 2 cents worth ,lets see what others have to say.

Hi
I used to run dual 46ida Webers, I then went to a single throttle body with injection. In day 2 day traffic I found that where i would have to plan a
manoeuvre with Webers so that I didn't get wheelspin or the motor would bog down, with injection you just got a smooth result no matter what you do,
the word for it is tractability.
When the Bergs started using Haltech EFI in drag racing it was banned the regulating body in the US.
Another good thing about EFI is altitude & barometric correction, EFI does this automatically, to get altitude & barometric correction with
carbs you need a great deal of experience, knowledge and know a good witchdoctor.

Full throttle application carbs versus EFi there isn't a great deal of interest but for anything under that EFI for the win. Scope of tuning is far
more prescise with EFI too.

ok thanks... so overall would you say EFI is the way to go? As for throttle bodies, would bigger be better if u had the hardware to match it ?( 55mm
was the largest i could find) Injection perfection and EFI hardware have some awsome looking gear..... i noticed the 4 cylinder section only has TB to
match DCOE.. since i have IDAs with matching manifolds would i need to find the kit that matches IDA or are they the same thing?

Injection Perfection does have IDA throttle bodies, EFI Hardware has them also but listed under rotary.
This is my Volkswagen, there are many like it, but this one is mine. Without me my Volkswagen is useless, without my Volkswagen, I am useless.
