Should I convert my 22R to a 22RE or put a weber carb on it? How much would either one cost and how much more hp would they produce?

 

Skip the Weber and convert over to EFI. I got better mileage and power w/ FI than when I ran a Weber. I no longer have to worry about stalling on steep hill climbs and off camber situations either.

 

if i was running strictly on the road, i'd go with the weber. easier to work with

i plan on getting weber fuel injection in the future. they're coming out with a generic throttle body bolt-on kit with a fully programmable ecu

 

When?! When?! How much?! Me want!!!!!

 

has anyone converted a 22R to a RE?? if so how much $$?

 

Luckily I found a donor truck and paid $100 for all the parts needed to do the conversion. The prices I've seen normally run between $200-300.

Best advice is to find a complete truck, preferably one that runs. Had to spend another $100 to get the fuel injectors cleaned and balanced since they looked questionable and the truck had not been run for a long period of time.

Factor in another $50 or so for filters, gaskets and other misc. things. I sold my entire Weber setup so that basically paid for the conversion.

 

look around their website...it's in there somewhere

it just appeared out of nowhere one day a few weeks ago when i was looking on the site...seems to not quite be in production yet, but probably soon

 

I am pretty sure the hardest part was not $$$ but the electrical wiring.


Kyle, I tried searching yahoo for weber's site, and got alot of carburetor sale sites, but not weber's. I am REALLY interested in this kit, especially if its around $500-600 (basically the going rate for a new carb).

Maybe yotatech can set up a group by too!

 

i'm thinking it'll probably be twice the price at least, especially seeing how expensive aftermarket injection systems are just for the ecu and wiring. the weber kit comes with a 2 injector throttle body and all the sensors/computer/etc

http://www.redlineweber.com is the site, it's in there

even if it is expensive, i'm gonna save up and buy it. the main selling point for me is that i can keep all those vacuum hoses and junk out of my motor, plus the ecu is totally computer programmable

 

Yeah I was thinking about the programmable ECU, that's going to be the kicker. Oh well...
