When you are driving around in your C1, C2 or C3 have you ever wondered about the supposed benefits of fuel injection?.
Whether a simple throttle body carb replacement or perhaps a more complex multi-port system the thought of potential instant starts and a software regulated air/fuel ratio should (theoretically) give the best of both worlds with improved fuel consumption and hopefully improved performance.
Picked-up on on a relatively simple, back yard designed, made in America, $400 or so piece of kit called a Carb Cheater. All you need is a Android mobile phone with bluetooth and you can set-up parameters on the Carb Cheater to control and air/fuel ratio settings within plus and minus limts taking a signal from an exhaust mounted Lamda sensor.
It is all regulated by a controlled vacuum leak from the Carb Cheater module and means you can automatically 'tune' your carb automatically without the need to swap various jets and things.
You can also view a graph on your phone that shows your last journey with speeds, rpm change-up points and AF ratios at the respective points. A simplified version I'd guess of what you'd expect to see from someone 'mapping' a fuel injection system on a rolling road or out on the street. There quite a few YouTube videos out there on the subject.
