Hi everybody,
Long time since i posted something.
After i converted my tenner to a six i was never happy with the Performance of the carbs.
I had the Zenith rebuild by a professional, but they never worked as i expected.
Over the time i got the idea to use a Injection System instead of the carbs.
There are some sellers that provide ITB for Porsches like TWM or PMO. These were way to expensive for my Budget, so i did some Research and found Motorcycle ITB that fitted nearly perfect to the Motor.
So i bought one set at about 70,- Euro to do the Engineering for the Adapter.
The first pics Show the milling process, last one the finished part.
First step of the conversion was to lock the distributer and fit some magnets and a hall sensor. This was necessary because the Signal from the Points had some heavy bouncing. The Signal was realy unusable for the controler.
Here are some pics of the Dizzy parts.
Next step was to fit the controler board into a motronic housing.
The controler is a megasquirt2 Derivate provided by no-limits Motorsport.
With These Setup i was able to start the engine with just using the electronic ignition and the old carbs.
The idea was not to Change to many variables at one time. Sorting out Errors is much easyer this way.
So here is a YouTube vid showing the car running on electronic ignition

Nice to see your proyect! Are you gone use the Triumph manifold?
I'm just at the moment making a NA 944 with the Hayabusa units

Fantastik ideas.Elegant solution.
Need a part?Make one.Great concept.

Nice mill too.Economical.
Using Siemens,Grundig,Philips,Deckel,Maho,Heidenhain since mid 80s.
Others before then,back to the stone age of NC.
I recall someone did a similar use of bike tbs on http://www.fiero.nl/cgi-bin/fiero/Ultimate.cgi?action=intro,a Northstar I'm sure.
I just happen to like 914 in blue.
Well done.
Really forward thinking ! Nice mill work.
Really nice! I understand your problems with zenith carbs. Will you tell us more of the parts and sensors you used?
Nice Project!
What kind of HP boost do you think you'll get from the FI?
Infinite tune-ability may make for more area under the peak HP curve though...and as said above, better mpg.
Hi,
additional power wasn´t the Goal. As mentioned above the tunability and the better gas milage were the reasons.

So here are some pics of the Stuff mounted in the car. Please excuse the wiring.
It was the first testrun. I cleaned up the wiring yet.
And here is a link to a Video running Fuel and Spark with the ECU

Awesome setup! Looks fantastic!
I assumed the FI was a part of pushing up performance on the HP side, but I can totally relate to just better fuel delivery / economy on the RPM curve. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing!
Nice job.
Is the blue hose a balance tube?
The slight cough I heard is likely a small imbalance of the linkage, both TB banks are not 100% in sync.
The blue hose is for the map sensor, the idle valve and the vacuum for fuel pressure Regulator.
Since the map is fluctuating heavily i connectet al the Barrels via the blue hose to smooth it out
The second Video is about one year old, balancing of the Throttles was a Little off at the beginning.
I drove it 4500km now on injection and the car never runs better, but i have to do some finetuning to get better mileage
Hera are som actual pics of the engine compartment with the cleaned up wiring.
Michael
very nice work. I hope to do a similar project soon. Thanks for sharing
