I watch this test run and Nick adjusted that carburetor almost as close as the EFI so it can be done old school for a lot less money just depends on what you want
I took my EFI off and went to carb. The engine sounds happier and the power is waaaaayy better. I can tune it on the spot. If you know how carbs work, you'll never want to use EFI on a race engine or classic car
@JimmyCasket02 self learning systems are nice since some of us cave men still don't understand fuel table and other such things yet but we're learning.
@Cherokee93 really? Because I've ran them my whole life of 40 plus years and other than ones that have sat on a shelf I've not had one that didn't do what it's supposed to. I still daily drive carbed vehicles and the only thing I don't like is the ethanol fuel evaporates if left for days and you have yo let it pump up fuel.
I prefer carburetor and mechanical fuel pump it’s simple no headaches on the long run. My 77 el Camino with a 540 gives me 700 hp just like that no worries.
until you get a mechanical secondary with annular boosters....way better than down leg and dog legged booster...they are just a better carb and faster and will keep up with EFI no problem.
I watched the full length episode this short was made from. Very interesting. You should add the final numbers of each setup at the end of the short though.
I watched the full episode too that this short version was made of sometimes I think when people bring him a build they built he's always asking what rpm you looking to get after he or they achieve it keeps asking want to see if it'll do better get them some more rpms as if he's trying wanting it to blow Nick is a super smart nice guy
The technology is better performance but if you want the old school feeling you have to have old school parts. Example late 70s olds 403 with a 4barrel quadro jet if you know you know that sound when the secondaries open up
@@ercost60 I wonder if the EFI gets rid of all this stupidness that carburetors cause and create. I would hope so. I absolutely love carburetors and have a quirky preference for old technology but this EFI thing seems to hold water most of the time.
@@girthquake9655 Hmm, let's see...worn /Leaking throttle shafts, accelerator pump that stops working, accelerator pump that boil the fuel out of the circuit, vapor locking/ hard hot starts..etc...etc. all of that nonsense went on with three different brand new Holley's which I sent them all back to Chinatown where they came from. I've been running a couple Edelbrock AVS2's and all of those problems have gone away for now so EFI is on the back burner.
Efi by my definition is injecting directly into the ports Not TBI or basically a carb where the jets were replaced with fuel injectors basically doing the same job with electronic control instead of mechanical means
Since i do not own the tools to tune a carb(S) i think i will try a 6 BBL EFI. Checked prices and they are about 200.00 up or down depending where you buy each one.
im new to car stuff so correct me if im wrong. one above is the carburator right? whereas the one below is a fuel injection with throttle body on top? carburators and throttle body always confuse me.
Thats not a Holley Sniper running on the engine on the dyno as was shown in the box at the start. Did you run multiple efi units? Ill have to try to find the original vid.
old school carbs if you can keep em clean from soot and rust or carbon burn or plain old dust particles old carbs like the 4 barrel holly or the old Rochester carbs will make a engine purr like a kitten
Looking down the throats of each the EFI sure looks like bigger venturies. EFI SHOULD make more power in that case. I'm a carburetor fan so I feel cheated😠
thats because the carb is down legged boosters. you put annular booster in it and bam! now its gonna look about the same and be quicker than down legged or straight legged booster carbs
do a tunnel ram with two 780 double pumpers on a 350 block 4 bolt mains 375 horse heads off a corvette with dome pistons or shave the heads thousands of a itch with roller rockers stainless steel crankshaft polished to specs
That’s not really fuel injection. That’s a throttle body style. It’s same as carburetor just controlled by a computer. Fuel injection has single port into each cylinder. This is a lie.
One of these starts without a fuss in the cold
That's what the choke is for
I would love to know the hp numbers.
@@michaelmays9292 cool. Thank you.
I watch this test run and Nick adjusted that carburetor almost as close as the EFI so it can be done old school for a lot less money just depends on what you want
Carb usually gives 15 to 35 more horsepower that what everyone thinks is it
Nick is top shelf material for sure 😊
I took my EFI off and went to carb. The engine sounds happier and the power is waaaaayy better. I can tune it on the spot. If you know how carbs work, you'll never want to use EFI on a race engine or classic car
I'm a big fan of keeping it simple. Carburetor with mechanical fuel pump leaves so little to go wrong.
There’s really not much to go wrong with efi either
@JimmyCasket02 self learning systems are nice since some of us cave men still don't understand fuel table and other such things yet but we're learning.
Carbs get dirty really quick compared to efi rarely getting dirty

One to bet
"Let's put a six pack" hahah his Dodge devious spirit jumps out on the SBC.
Or in GM terms a tripower.
@Mika Tamminen yes GM called it that. First was the 348 tri power , then was made bigger by the 409 which was available with two 4 barrels carbs.
I love the top down view in the barrels! Watching the fuel flow!! Awesome!
I prefer carburetor and mechanical fuel pump it’s simple no headaches on the long run. My 77 el Camino with a 540 gives me 700 hp just like that no worries.
Agreed
The spray pattern on the EFI is mesmerizing
Isn’t it?
Carb for me regardless of the numbers.
Nick said it simple ! Carb can be adjusted to do the same !
Oh you tease! We need numbers Nick!!
Watch the full video. It’s on our channel now.
Don't be like that 😢 sharing is caring😊
Old school meets new school!👍👍
Dr. Nick, the King of the dyno.
Efi for the win... better throttle response, more tunability, better mpg, and better cold starts. Oh and more power at any throttle position. Lol
If yr a driver not stock point judging EFI and no warm period for engine to warm
Up. Turn key and go
EFI is more power on demand and 000 vapor lock up and more reliability if u do a lot of Sumer and high summer temperatures
False, if you know carbs and how to pick the right one, is out performs EFI. The Carb is an atomizer. You can't get better fuel air mixture than that.
until you get a mechanical secondary with annular boosters....way better than down leg and dog legged booster...they are just a better carb and faster and will keep up with EFI no problem.
EFI over carburetor, especially up here in the Rocky mountains
Nick and the dyno, they are made for each other, way cool!!!
I watched the full length episode this short was made from. Very interesting. You should add the final numbers of each setup at the end of the short though.
That would be a bit of a spoiler for our own video, no?

425HP Carb, 434HP EFI
This was from a superb episode Nick's Garage'll get it fit for the road
I'd love to know the numbers as I'm going to build an SBC and go with sniper.
If you are miffed because there are no numbers, tough. We fans already know from watching the original video with Piss Cutter.
The technology is better performance but if you want the old school feeling you have to have old school parts. Example late 70s olds 403 with a 4barrel quadro jet if you know you know that sound when the secondaries open up
Show the Dynos.... Carb for me everytime.
EFI only adds 9 HP

@@Projects5309What "stupidness" do carbs create?

Sounds Fantastic!!

Did you guys see the distributor move when he revd up first time .
Where are the numbers Nick?
Since i do not own the tools to tune a carb(S) i think i will try a 6 BBL EFI. Checked prices and they are about 200.00 up or down depending where you buy each one.
Why after a pull instantly shut off the engine let it idle to move the oil off hot surfaces
I would depend on the carb more to get me there
On my stock 79 TA so wish EFI versify rottenchester with that stove pipe choke assy..
Anybody else…pls??
10-15 min warn up emparssing???
Looks like the carburetor runs pretty lean.
He's a good guy. Knows his sh*t.
Which one did better?
NICK IS GREAT WHAT AUTOMOTIVE KNOWLEDGE. GENIUS.
Damn I love that sound 👍👍
I want to know which made more HP?
Good work
Let's do a 6 pack efi😂 that would be something different. Plenty of fuel
I have learned something from your video. A carburetor is as good if not better then the EFI unit I just installed. Going back to my Carburetor.
Nick is cool as hell!
So now for a daily driver, carb or EFI (Holley sniper?)
im new to car stuff so correct me if im wrong. one above is the carburator right? whereas the one below is a fuel injection with throttle body on top? carburators and throttle body always confuse me.
What was the result?
Nick is right six pak!!!!
Nick i think we need the six pack
Thats not a Holley Sniper running on the engine on the dyno as was shown in the box at the start. Did you run multiple efi units?
Ill have to try to find the original vid.
Cool
Why don't you ever use a velocity stack on the dyno?
I'm going to watch the full video !
Thanks!
Results?
old school carbs if you can keep em clean from soot and rust or carbon burn or plain old dust particles old carbs like the 4 barrel holly or the old Rochester carbs will make a engine purr like a kitten
So what's the verdict? I didn't see the dyno results
Check out the full episode for the full results.👍
Carb = coolest it - may seem! They don't design it!
Hence; under law - wouldn't know - any answer.
What is the point if you don't see the results? It's always cool to watch!
Watch the show and find out.
Six pack indeed
Video approved,click.
Would this work on a 90s sportster
Mn that dist moved twice watch the video! It probably moved four degrees
Well 🤔 what's the result?
Witch made more power?
Check out the full episode and find out! 👍
Carb
Looking down the throats of each the EFI sure looks like bigger venturies. EFI SHOULD make more power in that case. I'm a carburetor fan so I feel cheated😠
Carbs are great just hate the cold starts
Nice
I have one question
The efi looks to have waaayyyy more fuel atomization then the carb!!?
thats because the carb is down legged boosters.
you put annular booster in it and bam! now its gonna look about the same and be quicker than down legged or straight legged booster carbs
No results included? Disappointment ensues.
Watch the full video.
Nick
EFI 6-pack vs Carb 6-pack
I love my carbs... whether it's steak or six-pack. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
What are the numbers???…thanks a lot
Check out the full video. You're welcome.
Carb > efi
numbers please.
Check out the full video.
throw on an edlebrock and you wont need to worry about a crappy efi system. c:
More better fuel atomization =more better
Yep the carb is better.
😁👽👍
Which one won? Carb. or E.F.I.?
Watch the full episode, and find out! 👍
We need to know the results !
Efi
Where's the numbers?
In the full video.
And the results are secret, Nick? I saw,EFI got to redline and cut first but ...
Watch the full video for the results.
I think the carb can always equal the EFI at a given temperature its when temp changes alot the EFI wins.
EFI isnt' that much of a winner over carbs at temperature changes (electric choke fixes that) but ALTITUDE changes
cute, but numbers speak louder. we know they both work
Looks like the efi uses more fuel.
OlD school 😊😊
EFI is neat but you can’t beat a 4150
👍
No data??? Should show the numbers so we can see what is what???
Check out the full video on our channel.
EFI best
Eu torço pelo quadrijet. Se o motor tiver "platinado" melhor ainda!!!!
After watching run a engine rubbing on valve cover just bad workmanship very poor
Efi sistem is shet
do a tunnel ram with two 780 double pumpers on a 350 block 4 bolt mains 375 horse heads off a corvette with dome pistons or shave the heads thousands of a itch with roller rockers stainless steel crankshaft polished to specs
That’s not really fuel injection. That’s a throttle body style. It’s same as carburetor just controlled by a computer. Fuel injection has single port into each cylinder. This is a lie.
The 'EFI' added is no more than another type of carb - very poor efi.
Thumbs down....compare wiyh no numbers....
Watch the video.
I'll stick to my carburetor that way I don't have to worry about sensors and computers and all the other crap that you have to put on your engine
