    Default VK mods

    HI,
    what would it take to remove the efi and jam on a carby on my 85 vk sl EFI.
    it uses about $70 an hour on fuel,i reset the computer it ok for a couple of hours then starts breakin my bank account again.

    what i want to do is completely remove the electronic stuff and install a carby or webers

    Yeh i also have a 85 vk sl EFI, and it does go thru a lot of petrol
    i dont even know if your allowed to do that, coz i know u cant put an older engine into newer car for emission laws or something. Seeing as its EFI, go a 3.8L. Better power and fuel economy

    There shouldn't be a problem with putting a carbie and manafold on your car.. to beat the problem with the Law, make sure that the manafold came off another VK Black Motor of the same year

    hrmm it sounds like thats a bit of a crazy idea, less power and you dont know for sure if it will fix the problem. you might want to put another chip in it and see what happens. or like killuminati said, get a 3800 out of a VN s1 and you will have massive power and prob a mid 14 second car with a good CAI and filter
