Fuel Injection on i4 engines and width of engine.

DFI and Multi point EFI have a profound effect on engine width measurement. Between SPFI and MPFI my engines width went down from 438cm to 57cm. I may be going out on a limb suggesting that this is an unintentional effect, but it sure seems that way to me. DFI is also affected and has much the same effect as MPFI.

Actually, I think a 4 meter wide engine is kind of strange to begin with, but all the carburettors result in 4m width and MPFI and DFI are the odd ones out.

Tried these on medium block, but I think small had same problem.

Heyya :) Could you please recheck if it's down from 438cm to 57cm OR up from 438mm to 57cm?
We know this is confusing, and this is actually changed in the revamp of the game. It will be [cm] consistently.
Cheers!

It was in mm. The inconsistency came as a surprise and originally I assumed rather than checked that the measurement units were the same.
