Decision time soon (preferably only once). Later this month I will pick up my refurbished case, crank, and heads from Competition Engineering in Phoenix. I want to build this up to 2056 and use fuel injection.
So, do I keep the stock D-jet that was on the car? I have no idea if it works. And I expect that I will spend time and money tracking down rebuilt/replacement components. Plus modify the system for the increased displacement. Or do I go aftermarket, spend more time and money, but hope for better results? And maybe some sexy twin intakes? |

Thanks, everyone. Right now the plan includes stock-ish heads and valves. No cam selected yet. Or exhaust.
One concern I have about starting with the stock system is sinking serious money into that and then deciding to go after-market. For example, my D-jet wiring harness looks bad. A new one from Jeff B will cost more than $500. And since I have no idea if the system even works, I have to guess that one or more major components will push the budget over $1000. And right now I would rather spend that (and probably more) on newer technology. |

And right now I would rather spend that (and probably more) on newer technology. Exactly why I decided to go Microsquirt. And I'm a big proponent of the D-Jet system (it's really pretty good). James is sharp on this stuff, and here's my decision matrix from last winter that led me there: https://tgadrivel.blogspot.com/2020/03/on-m...914-part-1.html The Dub Shop offers a bolt-on dual-throttle-body system system if you're not a DIY'er. |
