The primary difference in induction between fuel injection and carburetors is that in a carb, the air passing has a venturi effect that sucks fuel through the jets.

in fuel injection, this doesn't happen, instead, the ECU meters fuel by calculating airflow.

Other than that, there are no huge differences in the physical properties of a carb vs. a throttle body.

You could evidence this by the fact that all carbs have a throttle body in them. It's just a giant throttle body with a bunch more crap added to it.


"injection could pop an intake in your face before the guage doesn't decipher jack squat."

I'm not really sure that anyone on this board can decipher what this means.

"we intervene every move of fuel air if it means being japanese, woops, I mean backwards"

Or this.

I'd like to think that people might open their eyes at some point... instead, I find it more and more likely that I'll just close mine.
