FI Advice Options

[1bad914]

I cannot believe that I am going to ask this, (big carb guy) but here I go. I just finished building a 1911 motor, it is based around an EA motor with 96 mm pistons and cylinders, the only other aftermarket thing is a Webcam 86 cam. I currently have dual DRLA 36 carbs on it now. I am thinking about putting fuel injection on this motor, I have access to a lot of FI components and really would like to give FI a try, I want to drive this everyday and thought it would be nice, I have a friend that is very familiar with Type I FI and has offered to help.

With the motor specs above what FI system would you recommend, I need specs like what brain box, injectors, dizzy...i

Is this even possible with this cam, I would like to use stock FI, and not mess with a Mega squirt. Any advice would be appreciated. I really just want to learn about FI and this is one way to do it.

The L-Jet is tunable to a certain point. If you get too much cam overlap, the flapper will start to occilate to the point where the computer can't keep an accurate mixture.

But it is by far more tunable than the D-jet.
Use a 2.0 914 or bus plenum. Use the 2.0 throttle body because it is bigger and will flow more air. put the 1.8 throttle switch on it (you will have to change the switch to get it to work).

Use the D-jet fuel pressure regulator. That way you can raise the fuel pressure to accomodate a bigger motor without monkeying with the air flap spring tension.

Personally, I would use a megasquirt or similar if I was going with a hotrod motor.


Or you could be REALLY unique, and put the MFI pump off a BMW 2002 Tii on it and have the first MFI 4 cylinder!
