carborator to EFI

Good day to all istoryans!!!

I'm not sure if this topic has already been posted before.. but i think i have to post this one because i find it very urgent/necessary to all of us motorist right now..

just recently, i've seen news from the television talking about this 10% bioethanol added to our unleaded gasoline. It says that it is not good for carborator type of engine. and those who are still using carborator engines are recommended to shift special gasoline like (XCS, Gold, or premium).. but the problem is, by the year 2011, all type of gasoline in the market will already have bioethanol content.

because of this, just want to know from our experts here the cost, place (shop), and a good mechanic that can help us convert our carborator type of engine to EFI. and probably, the pros and cons of converting carborator engine to EFI.. I have a suzuki van, 12 valve engine.

hope you could share us your thoughts.

thanks..

i dont think so....ayaw tawn oi.. unsaon nalang ang mga classic vw beetle, ford mustang, etc naa tingai ghapon mubaligya ug leaded gasoline

Hi there. Regarding the pros and cons, EFI engines are more efficient in terms of fuel consumption and power than carburator engines of the same displacement. However, carburator engines are easier and cheaper to maintain.

thanks sa input bro.. mas maayo gyud diay ang EFI noh?? anyway, unsa ma'y naka lisud pag maintain sa EFI? nya naa ka idea kung pwede nya pila pud ma gasto kung ipa convert ang carborator type to EFI?

thanks..

mao man to ako na dunggan TV patrol last week. inig ka 2011 daw, tanan gasoline naa na daw content nga bioethanol.. correct me if i'm wrong guys.. mao'ng na worried pud tawn ko kay unsaon nalang ning atong carborator type, ipa convert nalang gyud sigur ug EFI..

kana man gud EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection) kay electonic mana inig naa trouble dili jud na madala ug mano2x lang sa mekaniko, kinahanglan jud na ug computerized system para ma tune. so adto jud ka ana sa casa nga naay available ana nga system natural mahal. compare sa Carb madala ra sa suki nimo nga mekaniko ug ayo..

@andrew_ece

for EFI yes fuel consumption is efficient, but i think carburator engines are more powerful..

salamat sa input sir. naa ka'y idea kung asa nga shop dre sa ato sa cebu maayo mo convert ug carborador to EFI??

I guess you are partly correct that carburetor engines produce more power on stock configuration. But if both engines are properly tuned to its maximum potential, EFI engines still has a slight advantage over carburetor engines. The term efficiency does not always equate to a lack of power, rather than it would equate to the sufficient burning of fuel. If fuel is burned efficiently, power will follow.

Swerte lang kung ang pag spray sa imong injectors mo fog gyud ang fuel, if you don't have that kind of injectors wala gihapon ayo.

Vaporizing the fuel and mixing it with air very well then igniting that mixture well is a good start to become efficient.
Kung efficient mo spray ang injectors karon, how come ubos ang km/liter sa mga EFI engines karon ug wala lang gihapon kaapas bisan kumingkin nalang sa km/liter sa carburetor ni Charles Nelson Pogue in 1930s?

It is not the carburetor or injector in general ang basihan nato kinsay mas efficient, it's how these two vaporize the fuel that matters most and at present wala pa ko kabantay ug design sa injectors on record ug gigamit sa mga sakyanan nga nakaapas sa efficiency sa maayong design nga carburetor. The primary reason nganong nag fuel injection kasagaran bag-o nga sakyanan is not about improving fuel efficiency but it is about all about control on how much fuel you should use. The more fuel you use, the better for those who sell the fuel but that is really bad for you, bad for the engine and bad for the environment. Now, when modern cars have catalytic converters in their exhaust system, it is also a sign of being not efficient ang iyang fuel delivery ug gausik usik lang na sa fuel nga sakyanan.

To be efficient, you have to use less fuel and run much more distance than what is stated on the car specification.
When you can't surpass two folds or threefolds of your stock km/liter with high tech tuning, you're still not getting your engine potential. Your engine can do better than what you already know, only this time you have not just seen it yet.

nice inputs mga sirs!!! but seems no one answers yet the questions on how much are we going to spend if we convert carborator to EFI..or is it possible to do it?? thanks..hope you can enlighten us with that..
