1.9 Carbs Or Injection

[shonkers 6]

hi guys ive seen a 1.9 engine with a cat cam for sale but has no electronics with it ,he has been running carbs on it. im not sure which way to go carbs or injection ,ive read that carbs make a big difference in power and if i do go down that route what else will i need its going into a 88 1.6,any advice would be very helpful.

he thinks its a 270,daza4 has got it on the for sale board

ive been searching around and it has been discussed quite in depth,a lot of conflicting reports so i think ill go the safe way and stick with the standard electronic set up.

Iv found carbs (r1 bike carbs) are faster, sound better and more reliable than the standard 205 injection. Also the mpg is similar, maybe slightly worse.

 

Then again alot of people seem don't seem too keen on converting to carbs.

Actually add better to drive at low speed/in traffic to the list...
