February 5th, 2011 07:03 PM #1Mga gurus pls help.
i hav a 1997 corolla xl and from the time i got the car 10 yrs ago palakas ng palakas sa gas.
so i later decided na lpg nalang gawin but nw nagloloko na i have to tune it every once in 2 months. and the carb seems to be broken so am opting to have a efi installed.
carb itself new one would cost me arnd 15k.
how about efi anybody has an idea?
fyi. umaandar naman ngayn n ok pa makina. carb problem lang d ko na kc magamit with gas.
tnx

Kaya lumakas yan eh malamang wear and tear na ng cylinders or valves.

The problem of increasing gas consumption sounds like you have worn out valve seals.
Given it's getting old and older, why not have the engine checked before doing anything else? It would be pointless to modify a broken engine because it will still be broken after you modify it.
Alternatively, you might be able to get a 4AFE with computer box for under P20K (without tranny) at the surplus shops.
