Here I am stuck in UCLA- ugly corner of lower alabamma- (no disrepect intended to those who live here- its just not home for me) working on Katrina storm claims.
3 weeks of 14 hr days. Insurance adjuster. The storm bonus should cover cost of some used carb manifolds, throttle bodies, injectors, cross bar linkage, and some fuel rail bits and pieces. What to buy? Where to buy? What size to buy? Jenvy, TWM, Redline/weber, C.B., others? They'd be going a basically stock 2.0 with a Kerry Hunter header, euro p/c's, stock cam/valves/springs, and stand alone ECU system. The car runs SCCA DSP, so no changes to the long block allowed. I'd like to size the throttle bodies and injectors to be big enough to move on to a Jakester 2316 in a year or 2, when I save up some more $$ for his kit. Planning on the linkage from triad west, as it seems most complete, has had good reviews, and uses lots of heim joints. I like that idea. Any thoughts? Any real world experience? Thanks! |

Those are Ford 5 liter injectors. I also use the 2.3L Turbo injectors for the large engines they are 42# injectors.
The bellcrank linkage that I have made for the DTM has a certain amount of expansion in its self that I designed into it, because the two outer links are aluminum. I use heim joints that have a tad bit of slop in them as well that will make up for a small change. The main thing I see with bellcrank linkage and expansion is the fact that the engine is operating at too high of a temperature and CAUSING the linkage issues. If the engine is kept below 350 F the issues just don't occur, and using the DTM running below 350 ain't no sweat! The engine thats pictured above went through two solid days on the dyno and not once did I encounter any linkage issues from over expansion.I removed the belt and got it to 400F once and still no issues- I was TRYING to aggrevate them into occuring and they still didn't. Hex Bar linkage will NOT work with the TWMs because of the butterfly position in the T/B. |
