EFI for 1k, programable Options

[r_towle]

Does it exist yet?

Ideally, 1k for ITB's, EFI and harness.

Anyone...and no Megasquirt please..

Looking for something to start with...then like any good drug, get hooked and pay more to play.

Double that number & this is an option, although I know of nobody who has used this.

You can check their catalog, they do have a 914 ultra competition FI system for sale.

What a great deal. People I know that have utilized CB performance engines are happy, but in any event you should ask CB performance for references.

FYI when we put FI on "222" we were plowing new ground.

We used the Link System from New Zealand. Paul Harvey, Performance Development, did the harness (*), which was developed from scratch, we used TWM throttle bodies and fuel rails. There are braided and high pressure lines everywhere all of which cost $$. Of course we needed a high pressure fuel regulator, filter and very high performance fuel pump, plus all the other accessories, i.e., 02 sensors, etc. We use CB maniforlds.

And then we had the nose bleed of developing a fuel map on the dyno which costs, in itself, more than twice what CB charges for their entire system, let alone all the HW.

The CB approach looks to be a very cost effective and a huge positive is that it is "matched," i.e., the homework is done. If you went this way you should seriously consider having them do the initial tuning as well.

(*) I have the diagrams if you'd like to see them

PS The most positive thing about FI is that once it is done, your done. No more messing with tuning regardless of where you are, i.e., sea level or off running a hill climb at 5000 feet.
