 TBI Fuel Injection Advantages
• It is less expensive than using other types of fuel injection systems.

• It is easier to clean, maintain and service because there are fewer parts.

• It is cheaper to manufacture than a port injection system and simpler to diagnose. It also does not have
the same level of injector balance problems that a port injection system might have when the
injectors are clogged.

• It greatly improves the fuel metering compared to a carburetor.

• You do not have to make any changes to the TBI intake manifold. You also do not have to change the
throttle linkage. Instead, use the existing linkage, air cleaners and carbs to install the system.

• It is also capable of logging data and can be programmed for ignition and fuel. The TBI system is that
it learns and understands your habits when driving so it can easily map out your actions and the
performance of the engine.

 TBI Fuel Injection Disadvantages
• It is almost the same as a TBI carburetor wherein the fuel is not equally distributed to
all the cylinders. This means that the air/fuel mixture injected differs for each cylinder.

• It can cool the manifold much faster causing the fuel to puddle and condense in the
manifold. The possibility of condensation is much higher since the fuel travels longer
from the throttle body to the combustion chamber
.
• Since the system needs to be mounted on top of the combustion chamber, you're
prevented from modifying the manifold design to improve your car's performance.

• It is a wet system and the mixture of fuel is still based per cylinder.
