I got myself a 924 and am wondering how much it would cost to convert it to carburator. Does it give a great improvement in power?
Thanks,

New the weber conversion kit is about $980 then you have to buy a Fuel pump I used a Cater electric pump I got from Summit Racing for about $70. I bought my carbs and intake used but the intake is hard to find, I just got lucky. I paid about $470 over all. but with the used carbs you get jets that you have no idea what size they are but again I got lucky and mine were damn close to the size I needed.

And you will be constantly tinkering with it to get it to run just a little better. Most installations kill your gas mileage.
