TBI or Carb?
hello everyone,
We'll be leaving for an overland trip from Turkey to Mongolia in two weeks, in 2 throttle body injected Lada Nivas. As nearly all the counties are ex-soviet, we don't expect much spare part issues (although we'll have plenty with us)
The cars are equipped with GM throttle body injection. Although most mechanics say we'll be fine with it, a friend that works on engine r&d told me that the cars shipped to Europe are software programmed for specific altitude ranges, and we may have issues in different altitudes (we'll drive on the Pamir highway, ranging from 2000meters to 4200). Also, different fuel quality may cause us problems with injection, ECU might not be able to compansate for ignition timing.
I'm wondering if we should switch the cars to carb for such a trip? What's the general opinion for GM TBI system?
thanks,
