Certainly looks interesting.
Try and get a dyno printout before and after so you get a good idea of the improvement.

Well i had a balance pipe put into my exhaust system today to help the oxygen sensor do its job properly, well the pipe has taken the lumpy sound out which is a bit uncool but it seems to pick up faster when i slam the throttle to the floor, feels and sounds like a different car already and i havent even installed the fuel injection yet,(thats next weekends job).

Well the install has been done but not quite complete it runs well and has noticably more power and throttle response but at the moment its running a bit ritch (kinda like the choke is on) , i need to get it onto a dyno i think just to fine tune it.
Sorry i haven't had time to get pics of it yet been trying to tidy up wiring also driving it a little to try and get a nice tune.

if Hamish gets too close the club run might have to be out to our place, lol.

even though we are quite a bit south and a coupla hundred Km's inland it was still fairly windy here today. will be watching the weather reports very closely for the next few days.

sweet, if it wasn't for all the wiring you'd never know it was efi. it really looks at home too, not out of place at all.

good stuff!

How you finding it Allan?
My only experience with TBI is with the EAs and it's a dog of a system. This one certainly looks a lot nicer and like Ivan said, looks like it belongs.

Well its quite good i feel with the self learning technology every time i drive it its getting much better but its still over fueling at 3/4 to wide open throttle so going to try and get that fixed and the kickdown linkage b4 the weekend.

Oh and it actually can spin'em now not that i tried to oops, i guess itll take a couple of days to get used to having any sort of throttle responce.

And if it wasnt so over priced i would recomend it to people beacuse its a good system.

Well since the run to bundy on sunday the cars not pumping fuel out the exhaust like it was on saturday when you could see significant droplets of fuel coming out. Today i put my hand under the exhaust and pulled it away clean this is all without dyno tuning so im very impressed, I think maybe i wasnt driving it enough during last week to let it learn properly.

what sort of power is the motor making before hand, wondering if it runs rich initially because its expecting to be run on a hi horsepower motor etc


want to make sure if i put it on something bigger its not going to run lean etc
