Where did this meme come from that carbs have poor throttle response?
1: at operating temperature (bloo bloo i need to take care of my engine 2: with carbs that haven't sat unused for 6 months 3: with a stoic A/F then carbs will always, always have better throttle response than EFI. This is indisputable for people who have experience both. Drive by wire is cancer. >but my carb doesn't have an accelerator pimp It may not even need to, rarely does a motorcycle carburetor have an accelerator pump yet they always react instantaneously to throttle changes The fact of the matter is that the ECU has to take time to think. An carb'd engine will just suck whatever it can whenever it can which will always be more efficient. Inb4 memes

You're right that drive by wire is cancer, but carb is worse than cable operated electronic throttle body, this is a fact
Nolan Lopez
>this is a fact Sir, that is fiction. A tight throttle cable to a carb will always produce quicker action then asking a computer first.
Jose Myers
I don't think you understand how a throttle body works. A physical throttle cable opens up the butterfly valve in the throttle body just like it actuated the valve/slide in a carb.
Also throttle response depends on the type of carb. CV carbs are shit for throttle response.
>but carbed motorcycles respond quicker than my fuel injected car No shit. They have significantly less rotating mass.
Thomas Garcia
Bullshit, the accurate measurements reading from the throttle body and sent to the ecu is only takes nanoseconds, and is infinitely more efficient compared to a carburetor

>I don't think you understand how a throttle body works. Well it doesn't metre fuel is the problem.
Aiden Brooks
It doesn't need to
Lucas Ortiz
But it could and be more efficient.
Wyatt Cox
Isn't that Skyactiv?
Christopher Turner
>Mazda >efficient niggo pls
Nathaniel Walker
>implying it isn't Skyactiv gets near hybrid numbers
Gabriel Sanders
Yeah but Hybrids and their numbers are homo
Michael Bennett
Look, carbs are cool because they don't rely on electronics, and are super simple, but there's a reason that the vast majority of vehicles don't run carbs anymore. Carbs are inefficient. They cannot account for differences in engine parameters as well as EFI can.
Also this whole
>muh carb is more responsive
Meme is just bullshit. Besides maybe NASCAR, and NHRA, most race cars are running EFI because you can better tune for power and response under any operating condition. Hell, I don't think there's a single factory car made today with carbs...

>The fact of the matter is that the ECU has to take time to think. An carb'd engine will just suck whatever it can whenever it can which will always be more efficient. Boomers really need to catch up with the times
yeah sure maybe early efi systems lagged behind carbs in throttle response but ever since the late 90's that shit was locked down tyte and rapes the carbs in almost every other way.
NASCAR doesn't use carbs anymore. They changed to EFI.

Carbs are so slow to respond that manufacturers have to build in a dozen different accelerator pumps and shit to get them to ever change RPM. An ECU is already adding more fuel by the time the intake charge has made it past the throttle.
Elijah Foster
>Ten billion pounds of valvetrain mass >Instant throttle response Please go drive a few other cars and come back when you understand what throttle response actually means.
Protip: it's not how quickly your car accelerates 0-60 when you mash the throttle.
