Sb wants to sell a Toyota Sequoia to me but d excessive fuel consumption of Sequoias is discouraging me. But I later thought d consumption problem can b solved by converting d injector to a Jetta carburetor. Don't u think this will cause more problems?

Gini? Jetta carburettor for a V8 engine? Say good bye to the car if you try it.

Converting a fuel-injected engine to run a carburettor will make it thirstiest. Either buy the Toyota and use it as she is, or buy yourself a smaller car, simple.

Why buy a v8 car when u care about fuel economy. My advice, get urself a rav 4 with a 4 cylinder engine or look for Land cruiser Prado, they do come with 4 cylinder but that car is slow as hell. Its very simple, u want power u have to burn fuel, u can't eat ur cake and still have it.

Op you are a very brilliant genius and I love people that think out of the BOX there is nothing like building a limited version of an engine but the question I would ask you is that injector is a light weight component and the carburetor is a chunky piece of component except you want to run an open bonnet like the F1 cars I don't know how you expect the bonnet to close when you finally fit in that CRAP-BURATOR? And you time starts now

actually he's not looking for power; what he wants is the efizy of a big car and a big man, but wants to cheat on the PRICE TO BE PAID with fuel efficiency of a Picanto.

I have done that on a 1991 camry- with 3S-FE engine long ago. reason was incompetent mechanic, injector was a nightmare to many mechanics and electricians as at that time. However, I reverted to the injector , after reading many advantages of the injector over carburetor.

the experience was less power on the carburetor , I tweaked the carburetor as much as I could to manually balance air and fuel mixture, but could not surpass the economy of a good working injector..

the injector had more torque, when mounted, response time was better, and the fuel economy was excellent whenever the air-mass meter was at its optimal.. (I tweaked that too..lol)

Yes, it can be done.BUT it is gonna take ALOT of time, money and effort. Most if not all fuel injection systems are computer controlled. So you would need to buy and install all kinds of sensors, wiring and a computer that the Fuel Injection system will work with and communicate with. Also you would need to upgrade the camshaft, fuel system (higher fuel pressures) and ignition system.

Dude, are you for real? Or you simply did your copy and paste routine, without bothering to read the thread starter's query?

Let me make it simple for you - the query is about converting a fuel injected engine to run a carburettor-fuelled one. So why would a bunch of sensors and an ECU be needed??

Unless he is talking of electronic carburetors. But the link is the other way round

That's my car, but mine is the 1989 model and I still can hit 180km at will the injector is the easiest to work on very less complicated.
