deadgearhead Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Do you think fuel injected engines next year will be good or bad for the sport? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdemko Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 BAD. F/I is harder to work on. Carbs are so simple. Just turn a screw or adjust a nut. but it also depends on what kind of F/I is being used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadgearhead Posted November 26, 2011 Author Share Posted November 26, 2011 According to NASCAR they are going to be ported systems supplied by Holley with handout throttle bodies and tamperproof ECUs. As for tuning, depending on how many channels of data NASCAR will allow the teams to download, all they will have to do is plug into the system and adjust curves in the mapping program.

deadgearhead Posted November 26, 2011 Author Share Posted November 26, 2011 It is true that the odd electronic gremlin pops up during other types of racing that uses EFI. Another strange thing is the extra cost of adapting the current engines to use the EFI systems in a time when NASCAR has been taking all kinds of efforts to reduce costs for teams and level the playing field. The carburetors used in NASCAR have been developed for so long that from the outside they only resemble the Holleys the average car nut can buy over the counter.
