Carburetor vs Fuel Injection - Summit Racing 101

What is the difference between a carburetor and fuel injection? Listen as Dave guides you through 2 barrel carbs, spread bore carbs, race carbs and compares them to EFI.

My classic car is a 1959 Deville Coupe, a very simple to fix car. No computers and the good old carburetor. I still prefer classic cars and carburetors, just because of style and simple engineering.

I just took out the whole efi system and car computer out of my 1988 box crown vic and switching to a carburator. A carburator setup is way better than efi. With a carburator I don't have to worry about spending $1000's of dollars to program every modification and you don't have to worry about the emissions in the computer system wiping out your horsepower bringing it back down to stock.

Best video I could fine. Such a great job. Taught me so much

Hi Dave Keonig,
I can say that I’ve not heard that one before! Considering that the throttle plates are closed at an idle, you don’t have enough air speed to even talk about velocity at that point. At idle these throttle plates are cracked open JUST enough to allow a minimal amount of air in so the motor will idle. Now, with that being said there are other factors to consider when talking about idle speed; things such as engine size, ignition timing, camshaft size, etc.

Hi Sktaroins,
Sorry, but we do not do any custom intake manifold manufacturing here at Summit Racing. A couple that come to mind are Wilson Intakes and Hogan Sheet Metal intakes. They both have great websites but you’ll have to contact them direct for anything other than what they show on the web.

Nothing beats the sound of a 4 barrel carb when you put the petal to the metal.

so, if u have the moeny/time go with F-I, if not just tune up a carb ?

I'm interested in putting the Edelbrock Pro Flo EFI system in my Town Car. I'm building a 347 for it. What type of cam, would be recommended for that setup?

So how does spreadbore compare to EFI in terms of mileage and street use? My project is a 327cc '67 Impala. I'd like to be able to merge with the freeway but don't need tons of power all the time. Leaning towards EFI, but if spreadbore can get me the same mpg that sounds cheaper and easier than replacing the whole intake and adding a computer

hy there, i would like to change my cerburater with injection fuel sistem, to my mitshubishi lancer 1997, it's work ???

[bigredracer]

What do you have for the Dominator intakes 1250cfm to 1400cfm

[johnbehneman]

Great video and a great education. Thanks for sharing. I learned so much.

[rodneywalker]

I am putting a 351 in my little Ford ranger step side it's fuel injected is it going to bolt up with the motor mounts I've never done this I have the wireing harness for the 351 is it necessary. for all those wires

[boldmoves]

I have a 1968 Ford with a 351W MSD Ign Holley 750 & an Aluminum Intake & Aluminum Heads & I've had a lot of trouble with carbs.. so Im planning on converting to my money for the conversion...I can't wait...

[vironvargas]

Great video! Really informative. My question is more of in advice.

I own a 1978 Dodge Colt (Mitsubishi Galant) that is carburated. What kind of modifications would I need to do make to make my car fuel injected. It's a 1.6 lt engine.

[seedsoutdoors]

whats carbu is recommend for a 150cc old motorbike

[zaviersimmons]

I have a 1987 Dodge Shadow2.2 EFI that I converted to carburetor I can't seem to find an inline pump work with the engine what can I do

[mynamedoesntmatter]

How would you describe the conversion for older model cars? I have a 2001 Hyundai Tiburon and was hoping to convert it for some better economy.

[stillatit]

awesome finally got it....carbs are monoport and inyections are multiport....thanks summit

[joshuarivera]

I like the simplicity and low cost of carbs, but I like the easy starting of EFI..plus, the jets always find a way to clog and leave me stranded on the side of the road..ask me how i know.
