Which is the better EFi system? The Digi or the K-tronic on the 8v?

i have a 8v kjet better that that other sh*t, i think,well thats just me a i think its faster

8v K-Jets are fast. Partly due to their revvy setup, but also because they tend to weigh less than most Mk2's as they were pre big bumper, pre electric windows etc. etc.

K-Jet ran right on into big bumper models, so the above isn't quite true.

8v K-Jet???  There was 8v K-Jets from the factory post 1989, with big bumpers? In the UK?

I don't dout you, but I'll be shocked if thats true.

Not sure if that is right, I remember Digi coming in around the 87/88 with small bumpers, I have never seen a big bumper K-jet, big bumper models were launched in 1990.

8v k-jet stopped in 87, 16v k-jet carried on right till end of mk2 production.

its like saying a Ford Focus Zetec engine is MUCH better than a 1960's Ford Mustang V8.

I often compare apples and bananas and am surprised at how different they are.

I'll probably at some point go down the ABF route, but I won't look back at my K-Jet days and say "what a sh!t engine!".

We're talking about the injection system here, not the motor.  The KR motor is a very good motor, but is runs a painfully simple injection system.  With the variety of injection systems available today it's possible to get more power out of a KR motor with a different method of injection.  Installing the ABF Digifant 3.2 system on a KR might create some interesting results. 

Yes there were Digifant systems available with lambda in Golf2s but only on the continent on catalytic converter equipped cars..... I'm running such a system on the Syncro at the moment.  I was due to nail an ABF in to the car soon, but as I have a Megasquirt system lying around I'm tempted to replace the Digifant II system with Megasquirt on the 8V I'm running with at the moment - it'll be interesting to see what difference we can pull out of the motor just by changing the injection system.  Might prove a point or two, or disprove some things which would be just as interesting.

toyotec did some experimentation on his, though it was a 2.0 8v. the results were very good and well documented on clubgti
