fuel injection to webber carbs

[cozye]

I don't think there's anything wrong with converting it to carbs. Lots of people do it. The stock efi is a rudimentary system and an be finicky. I do think that you may be doing it for the wrong reasons though. You should be able to fix the efi and have a good running car for less effort than converting to carbs.

I've got a spare 280 motor I'm picking up from a local club member. It's got an n42 head. I'm going to rebuild it and put triple webers on it . My reasoning is different though. I don't like the looks or the rudimentary functionality of the bosch efi. It clutters up the engine bay and doesn't respond to any mods or tuning. Ive decided that my new motor will be bumped up in performance a little, and like the looks, sound, and general nostalgic quality of the triples as compared to building my own ecu and building a ground up efi package for the new motor.

That should be posed as a question, not an exclaimation. (At least is was by the guy that originally said it)

. Im afraid so. I can't get over the hot looks, and the hot sound of a well tuned straight 6 with those triples. I've decided I won't be satisfied until I can lift up my hood and go "wow!!"

It's on my fall project list.

Sorry to weigh in on this so late. I removed all the FI from my perfectly running '78 280Z. Removal was easy. The entire FI wiring harness is separate from the rest of the wiring. In general, removing stuff is always easier than putting it back. Probably why I have a hard time finishing projects.

In any event, I installed one of those Holly 4bbl set-ups. I don't like it. Not that it's bad. I just decided I don't like the look. Besides, not easy to fit tower bracing with the carb in the way. IMHO, nothing beats the look of a triple Webber setup and that's what I really wanted all along anyhow. So as soon as I sell my '05 Infinity G35 and have some spare cash, I'm going to go to a triple webber setup. BTW, have MSD ignition, header, and custom exhaust. All I need is a hotter cam (and the triple webbers).
