hey i need some help im thinking of going with a carb set up but im not sure about it and dont know anything about it. would it be cheaper to do a carb set up? would it be cheaper also and easier to tune? thanx guys
For a daily driver prolly EFI.
do some reading and make a decision on your own with what you learn, if you do things right carb or EFI will work well
best advice ive gotten thanx! thats exactly what im gonna do
theturboforums.com. thats all you need to know. they have a blowthru section on there too
EFI works but its not for everyone, there are pros/cons for each one, and there are lots of guys that have switched from one to the other, i think a carb definitly simplifies things, and if i did things over i probly would have used one on my car, but i have alot invested in my EFI stuff and im not going back at this point.
Alot of guys preach they dont switch to a carb cause they think that it will run like crap, but have an EFI car with a surging idle(guilty of that myself), but if you do it right the carb will work, and its the same with EFI, but i havent had the time to get the car to a tuner that knows what he is doing
i really dont have the budget for efi it seems really expensive i need a bigger fuel pump braided lines bigger throttle body injectors and mass air sensor and the tuning? i dont even know how to work a laptop and im bad with electronics let alone have the money for it or for someone to tune it for mei have the turbo kit ready and everything even the block is ready to go iv just been debating on the carb setup and nitrous is out of the question im bored and tired of that
If you can't afford to go efi, you can't afford to do turbos.

turbos are pretty dam affordable if you know what to look for and source parts and know how too fabricate. in the long run its cheaper than superchargers and nitrous. theres been guys doing 10's off of junkyard parts and turbos for less than 2000 bucks. and just cuz you wanna go turbo or boost doesnt mean you HAVE to go efi. how do you think the first turbo regals worked? how about early turbo cars? and efi is twice as expensive as carb so get your facts before you start making retarded comments like that

The surging idle fix is much cheaper and easier that you think....
See the "Surging Idle Checklist for help with all your idle/stall problems. Everything you need to find and fix idle problems is in there.
The first two posts contain all the updates to the fixes. At last count there were 24 possible causes and fixes for surging idle/stall problems. I continue to update it as more people post fixes or ask questions.
