EFI in your speedster

Hi my name is mack from emerald performance in Florida .I went to a so where there was some Porsche 350 & 356 there and talking to some of the guys there they say that EFI is not the way to go with this car .
why is this ?

if you have EFI on a old car do you not get any street cred for this ?

Is it the price?

what is it

This is what Freston was trying to post.

That's actually a 550 replica, not a "350".

As for EFI, most replica guys like the idea. I can understand that the folks with real 356s might want to stick to carbs for originality, but we replica folks are pretty open minded. If it makes the car better, we're usually all for it.

The EFI is a good idea, but there seems to be some questionable products out there. Good systems are more than good, they are great. Poorly conceived systems are a joke and you are better off with carburetors.

As far as "street cred" goes, you need to think of the group you are hanging with. Some people are impressed and readily accept new technology, others are far more traditional in their preferences.

It comes down to this. What really matters is that what you choose works well (carbs vs efi) , is dialed in properly, runs reliably, and that you like it.

Yesterday, I finally got the chance to take my IM for a decent two hour drive. I'm really starting to warm up to my CB fuel injection. Besides the cold start issue, the car ran flawlessly. Just to see what would happen, I purposely let the revs drop down to 2000 rpm, in fourth gear, and then floored the gas pedal. The engine didn't cough, stutter, or backfire. She pulled through the rev range without a hiccup. I still have a slight bog when I give the gas pedal a quick jab, but I think that can be dialed out with some laptop tuning.

Interesting that the length of time of the video clip is "3:56". How cool is that?

This car is from CA i did the the work on it to make it EFI
it has Jenvey throttle body.s and a Emerald ECU in it i did post the work on facebook

i would like to do more of them they a fun car to work on

EFI works for me, though I paired the Jenveys with a DTA ECU rather than Emerald.

Lots of information here about my home configured system.
