man....this looks familiar.

think of how easy it would be to tune the car by hand by using this, In the days before the newer Hondata software I bet this was a easier route. The guy selling it must have been pretty smart to think/fab up this idea.

that was like a waste of engineering time like 12 times over...
3 ways this is wrong
1) it is direct port not fogger, it has individual sprayers on each runner i.e. direct port essentially
2) since they did a carb application, all they would need for a "fogger" is just the plate then a carb. but since it has direct port, it's just an option.
3) ecu can't judge a carb fuel flow, basically would flood out the motor if i were to guess.

Carb'd motors don't even use an ECU genious. The fuel jets determine the amount of fuel.

The fastest cars on the planet use what for fuel delivery?

Carbs.

it's amazing how many ppl dot know how crab's work and how a carburated car can easily achieve more cfm's than a fuel injected car and it's all mechanical so it's easier too, but they are only good when your are making high power out put's

now don't get me wrong you can achieve the same numbers from a fuel injected car but it's cheaper and easier with a carb you can bolt together a small block with cams and throw a intake carb and headers throw it on the dyno and turn a screw to dial it in and make upwards of 500 horse power.

in order to do that with a fuel injected car you have to match all the parts together make sure you have the right injectors for the cam and intake then deal with all the wiring and then tune the ecu then throw it on the dyno and then mess with the tune to dial it in and what took you three pulls on a carb car will take you 5 or more on a fuel injected car


the big thing that fuel injected cars got over carb cars in reliability and those big three letters MPG!!!!!!!!!

i think its tight! and it is quite amazing how many people dont understand carbs but they understand fuelinjection perfectly lol.. i think it would be tight to have a fully mechanical b series.. msd and carb
