Tech Year and Fuel Injection

[pyrlix]

@Juno8: May I ask WHY you even ask? Are you really to lazy to power up your game and look it up? Its not nessecary for your 500 videos anyway... just saying.
Its Build200 btw.

I am still on build 199 could someone please put a link on this forum for the most up to date version of this game that would be helpful

I don't know about in other countries, but in the US, it was Isuzu that was the last manufacturer to still have carburators on new vehicles. 1995 was the last year they had them and they were on the Isuzu Pickup, 2wd model if I remember correctly. In 1996, Isuzu switched to the GM chassised Hombre. '87 was one of the last years for Honda to have carbs, and most American companies made the switch on the majority of their models to TBI(Throttle Body Injection), pictured in the bottom pic a few posts up. This is all info from the US, so different than other countries I'm sure.
Also in the US, the first vehicle to use EFI was the Corvette (50's I think), which used the crossfire system, but was so unreliable that they made the switch back for another 30 years, lol.
Just in case anyone was curious.

Sorry for bringing up an old thread, but this has been bugging me for a while. I feel that both types of electronic injection are unlocked much too late. Full fledged electronic multi-point injection has been mainstream for Japanese mid-class cars since 1988, and Nissan has been using their ECCS system since 1980.

As replied in second post of the thread by Der Bayer:
"the year when some technology is available in the engine designer is considered to be the year, where it is common knowledge and available for all manufacturers and totally reliable. In the full game, you can unlock stuff earlier by doing research.... "

Yep, that. Nissan may have been using it for ages, but if you were trying to be Nissan in the campaign you'd be spending massive amounts of research effort to unlock it all super early
