Brandon+carbureted+engines+vs+TBI

Which is better, Carbureted, or fuel injection via throttle body? It all depends on what you're looking for. If you're looking for fuel economy, fuel injection is the better choice. But if you're looking for affordability, at the cost of lower fuel economy, a carbureted engine is the way to go. Fuel injection systems are more efficient and produce higher performance than carburetors, but are a lot more expensive. This price difference between carburetors and fuel injection systems causes there to still be a mass following of the carburetor.

Brandon Rock Carbureted engines Vs. Fuel injected engines. Which is better, Carbureted, or Fuel injected engines? It all depends on what you’re looking for. If you’re looking for fuel economy, and high performance, fuel injection is the better choice. But if you’re looking for affordability, at the cost of lower fuel economy, a carbureted engine is the way to go. Fuel injection systems are more efficient and produce higher performance than carburetors, but are a lot more expensive. The price difference between carburation and fuel injection systems is a big reason of why there is still a mass following of the carburetor.

Carburetors feed fuel to the engine by using vacuum. The more throttle you give the vehicle, more air is forced through which draws additional fuel into the engine. After a carbureted vehicle starts to get higher miles on it, Vacuum leaks can develop. This causes additional air to be drawn into the intake, and causes a mixture of fuel that is too lean (Too much air, not enough fuel).

Electronic fuel injection systems have a computer (PCM), oxygen sensor, fuel injectors, fuel pressure regulator, and an electric fuel pump. The oxygen sensor reads the fuel/air mixture in the exhaust. Depending on voltages produced by the oxygen sensor, the computer adjusts the time that the fuel injectors are held open to get the apropriate fuel/air mixture.
