Which EFI to buy!? Edelbrock Vs. FiTech

Рет қаралды 260,649

Күн бұрын

What is the best electronic fuel injection?!? I’m comparing the Fitech Go Street 600HP to the Edelbrock Pro Flo 4. I’ve been running the FiTech EFI on my 1975 Ford Bronco for the last two years and I have loved it. In that time, Edelbrock reached out to me and asked if I would give an honest review of their new EFI system and I agreed. There was no sponsorship, but in complete transparency they did send me this unit for free.
Buy the Edelbrock Pro Flo 4: amzn.to/2yCkAyk\
Buy the Fitech: amzn.to/2WZBRPv
*NOTE: If you buy a FiTech from Amazon, buy it from FITech, not a third party or FiTech will not be under warranty if something goes wrong*

Smart move on the FelPro gaskets. For the readers, DO NOT use the Edelbrock gaskets. I installed my Pro Flo4 on my Bronco using the Edelbrock ones.... later that night a bunch of guys on the forums told me they leak and are garbage. 2 Failed O2 sensors later, i pulled it back off and used the FelPro's. No more leaking coolant into the exhaust ports. The Edelbrock gaskets split and leak almost immediately.

I install the FITECH go street 400 on a 75 Bronco with a 351M making 300hp, I had all the same heating issues and controller fail and ecm fail which had to be sent back to FITECH. I solved the heat issue by venting the hood with a scoop. It lowered the engine bay temp by 35%. FITECH customer service was just horrible to deal with. I installed the same unit on a 44 GMC with a 350, same thing, hand held controller failed. In my restoration shop, I will be trying the Edelbrock and the FAST EFI systems before I waste anymore time and money with FITECH. Thanks

I went with Holley Sniper TBI. The handheld unit is ok but I primarily turn with my laptop. I've been super impressed by the power and drivability compared to a Holley 650 vacuum secondary carb. I'm an Edelbrock guy but I wasn't ready to go full multi-port yet. All I did was pop off the carb and slap on the throttle body. Next on my list is an entry level vortech centrifugal supercharger. That should put me at the limit of my 650hp Sniper unit.

Thanks for the video. I watched a few of your videos in August 2017 when I was installing my go Street 400 on my 66 Mercury Comet with a 289. I went from a two barrel single exhaust to a 4-barrel with dual exhaust to the fitech with a big radiator and electric cooling fan in about a six-month time frame. The biggest power booster was the fitech. I went from 10 MPG with the two barrel to 13 MPG with four-barrel and dual exhaust to 16 MPG with the fitech. I have been leaning it out over the last two weeks trying to improve my gas mileage. Today with the AFR at 16 to 1 for 3000 rpm cruise, I was at 16.5 MPG. My goal for the car is 20 MPG when I install an overdrive, so I think I'm on my way. It seems to pull the same MPG with or without the air conditioning on. I just set the 3000 RPM CRUISE AFR to 16.5:1 today - we'll see if it makes a difference. I'll drive this configuration until It breaks, and then its a three to four hundred horsepower crate motor and multi-port. Keep it up. I enjoy the videos.

It's made me really cautious about buying stuff from US businesses. So it's really great to hear about your experiences with Edelbrock.

I have the Fitech Go 600 in Australia, and agree with everything you said. Ive been lucky "so far" and had no issues at all. I have Holley Fuel pressure reg, and Aeromotive intank pump and not using Fitech for timing or fans. The less the ECU has to control, the better in my opinion. MultiPort injection is way better (edelbrock) than the Fitech is. If i ever have problems with Fitech I will look at a standalone system, as Edelbrock dont make a kit for Cleveland V8 as yet. The ECU does need alot of air to keep it cool, particularly in summer. I have installed a hood vent to try and add more air into the engine bay.

My handheld controller stopped working yesterday. It doesn’t work when plugged into the ECU or laptop...just black screen. I was able to complete my engine break in before the handheld stopped working. I’ve sent FiTech a message for tech support help and going to reach out to Summit (where I purchased it) and see if they are able to assist.

So glad your channel popped up in my search for Edelbrock Pro Flo 4 info! I appreciate that your experience applies to any older classic ride, not just Broncos. I have a '70 C10 ( not a Chevy snob, I think Fords are bitchin" as well) and am starting down the same path with fuel injection. Already have a Boyd rear tank w/ internal FI pump installed and had debated on some of the other brands, like FI Tech for my SBC. The installation video and the follow up comparison have been excellent and have certainly cemented my decision to go with Edelbrock. Your video is refreshing, with the (sometimes ugly and pricey) problems out there for us all to see. No fluff, just practical help and advice. I wish you continued success on your project and your YT channel. Oh yeh, I subscribed too :-)

I know this video is a few years old BUT I think edelbrock is hands down worth the money. With that unit, you get individual injectors for each cylinder which is also probably a little better on fuel. I personally like the individual injectors which is why I’m interested in looking to buy it. I’m actually looking to replace all of my 1991 suburban TBI with the edelbrock pro flow.

@blacklineindustries7602 4 жыл бұрын

Great video. One thing though - comparing TBI (whether it's FiTech or Holley) to port injection isn't a straight comparison. Yes, the Pro-Flo is more $$$ but it's an entirely different system from the FiTech and will perform much, much better. An EFI kit that includes an intake manifold, throttle body, injectors, rails and distributor that does sequential port injection is worth more than just a 4 bbl TBI system. The additional cost is easily justified by the additional driveability and performance you will get with real port injection. The real comparison is to compare Pro-Flo to any other sequential port injection kits. Pro-Flo is sub-$2000. All others are ~$3000. That's a $1000 difference!!

Not that Edelbrock is bad or anything, but Holley has power adders, whether Sniper, HP, Dominator, etc. The direct connection between handheld & ECU, so there is no wifi or connection issues, etc. No need to upgrade tabets, especially when they are continued to be used in mounting them inside the vehicle for monitoring purposes, or future adjustments. However the tablets are larger & somewhat better graphics.

etheir way you look at it the edlebrock is still gonna be better. it has direct injection. with that much better distribution of the fuel your thottle response will be better cylinders wont burn unevenlly etc. I strongy dislike the holley sniper and the fi tech for the simple fact that their just like the tbi's gm introduced 33 years ago all they did was add 2 more barrels to it..

I am setting up a dual quad system for my Barracuda, and I see that FiTech and Edelbrock both have a dual quad setup, thing is, they are both around a thousand dollars more than a pair of AVS2 500 cfm carbs. I just don't see how I could justify going to this newfangled contraption...

Now that you have the FiTech off and no longer rely on it for your Bronco, you easily send it back to them. At this point, this would probably benefit them more than you. It may help them work out some of their issues. Regarding cost: I also take into consideration the withdrawal something takes out of the bank of frustration. $200 dollars difference is a small cost for the sake of one's sanity.

I guess some people have nothing better to do than to waste their time to take the time to tell you they think you're wasting their time. Kudos to you for sharing great videos for us bronco guys and for handling comments in poor taste with tact. Also, for those "just stick to carb" dudes, they might not realize that many of us bronco guys prefer EFI for off-road capability. Speaking from experience, having the motor and power components DIE in when you're on a steep incline/decline, off camber or in a precarious angle on the side of a cliff is not fun. If properly set up EFI has tremendous advantages over carb for avid off-roaders (which many bronco guys are).

Glad you figured most of the problems out with it....maybe after another year of R & D they will have a trouble free unit or a must have guidelines....WonderBar!!

I have the same intake manifold, I believe it was based off the Shelby design. I plan on using it with a Holley Sniper setup. Does yours have “FB4” on it?

I've got a 600HP Fitech Unit with a G-Surge that is essentially a paperweight. It's sitting on my shelf collecting dust. Worst purchase of my life. I'm not a "tuner," but I work with modern fuel injection on a daily basis, and I couldn't make the car lean out. The self tuning capabilites were non existent, and I had a hand held problem on the first day of using it. Screen wouldn't power up. Tech support acted like they hated their job and didn't want to be there, so once they sent me a new handheld, I didn't contact them again for help with how the car was running. I put some miles on it against my better judgement with it running so rich, and tuned on it a little, and was slowly making some minor progress, but it was too little, too late. My engine was still fresh, and inevitably I washed the rings down. Now I'm fixing to pull the engine and throw in another set of rings due to oil consumption.

Let's make this super simple... DO NOT buy anything from Fitech... EVER!!! I challenge anyone to sell worse products or provide worse tech support... I don't think it's even possible. Sorry Fitech... you earned this black eye... now wear it🤚👍

Fitech uncomplicated and simple, for V8 the best I've seen so far.

Fitech is the worst out of ALL the tbi systems. Cheap chinese junk that breaks and doesnt stay tuned. I install efi systems for a living and I wouldnt put a fitech on a scooter.

I totally suck at carb tuning, so does most of the mechanics in my area. Driving 3 hours just to tune a carb? EFI looks good.

John, Great Video. Always loved Edlebrock products and, yes, their customer service is great! I was wondering if you have a body lift on your bronco. I just bought a 69 wagon. Still has the stock 2bbl carb and air cleaner. The offset air cleaner looks very close to the underside of the hood. not sure I would have room for the Edlebrock without raising the body. Just wondering what you did if anything. By the way, my suspension and body mount location are all stock original.

@NashvilleEarlyBronco 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks Kevin. Yep, I have a 1” body lift. Probably needed for the edelbrock

@rickmay4991 4 жыл бұрын

Great series of videos on the Pro-Flo 4 - thanks. You discussed the size and say that the Edelbrock is 1" taller than the Fitech. In the comments I see you have a 1" body lift. I assume your engine is a 302. It appears that you don't have a problem with hood clearance. Are you running a stock air cleaner of a shorter one? Any ideal how the height compares to a stock setup? Any general comments about hood clearance that your viewers should be aware of? Thanks.

@NashvilleEarlyBronco 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks! I have a 2” air cleaner, stock is 3” I believe. So my guess is that the whole system is about 2-3” taller than a stock set up.

I have the Fi-Tech on my 454 Chevelle. I just ordered the Edlebrock Pro-Flo a few days ago. My Fi-Tech 800 shorts out injectors so often I have resorted to keeping spare injectors and the tools I need to do a roadside repair in the glove box. It is not a hard repair, but the car stops with no warning. Last time I was on the I-80 freeway just outside Sacramento where people were driving like maniacs. Terrifying and awful. When the Fi-Tech is running, it runs good, it is superior to my old carb(s... went through a few of those), but it is not dependable. It turned my Chevelle into a 'Trailer Queen."
