like i said:

im not really intrested in power gains etc...

i just dont like injection systems, if you keep the engine simple then theres not much that can go wrong,

look at the old pintos and xflows, not much can go wrong as theres nothing to the engines

but when you get to injection systems and all the technical stuff about them. theres a lot more to go wrong, a simple vacum hose can effect the running.

if i could and it was simple enough ild put a pinto in my mk3.

i cant stand new engines and injection systems, i prefer carbs because of the simplicity and sound, these nothing to them. if an injection system goes wrong.. it'll cost loads to repair.. if bike carbs go wrong there cheap as chips, set of r1 carbs on ebay are around £50 lol better than twin 40 webers for £250!!!

and as far as going backwards in technology.. in 1983, fords injection systems where crap anyway, theres a difference between technology these days and in them days, manufactures no a lot more these days hence why injection systems are even more complicated and hardly go wrong.. but in them days injection had only just come out, manufactures where still experimenting on how to make them better.. however carbs have been around since the first cars come out hundred years ago.. so using carbs off a 98 r1 which has had years and years of playing around to make them better, more reliable and more advance i think would be a wise option.

once again they are going on a tuned rs1600i engine.

powerwise, yea it may add 1bhp it may add 20bhp no-one cares really, im not intrested in power gains, just getting rid of injection systems
