Thread: EFI vs Carb

Both have their pro's and con's but i'd stick with the EFI , you wont get an RWC with the quaddy fitted.

Wouldn't be doing it till after the rwc, just an idea I had for sometime in the future.

14CUX Efi is generally pretty long lasting and reliable, and not exactly difficult to mod for performance.

The system itself is ludicrously simple, and in all my time working with them the only issues I've found have been outside of the actual efi system, and mostly due to old wiring on the power supply side, knackered coils and leads etc...

It's a nice efficient plenum setup to run LPG through to boot.

Offroad could be a problem for the carby, don't like steep angles that cause flooding, Regards Frank.

Rubbish. They have a small central bowl and the later ones have a plastic packer taking up surplus space in the bowl. Rochester instructions for preparing the Q-jet for off road racing state the packer should be used in this application.

EFI is still better offroad than the best carby...

Maybe you should let the 2 blokes that had V8's in their Hi-Lux's, with Q-jets on how good they are, cause every time we came to a hill (on a trip down to Bendethra), they would stall out because of flooding, have some pics of the event too, Regards Frank.

My experience with EFI vs carbies is absolutely in favour of EFI in every respect, including reliability. I've also had issues with several different types of carbies in 4wd vehicles with flooding on steep climbs (fuel pouring through the jets like tipping up a watering can), needle & seats giving up on corrugated roads is another.
