Default Re: Let's start a junkyard fuel injection discussion

I would also love to see pictures. How do you have your Megasquirt set up for squirts per engine cycle? I have a similar setup w two single throttle bodies (1 injector each) on a dual carb intake. I was originally alternating squirts between the TBs with 8 events total per engine cycle (2 revs). It would noticeably miss at low rpm/high load, which I attributed to poor mixture distribution. Changing the setting to 8 squirts simultaneous resolved the issue but the pulse widths have to be quite short… So I have been developing a pair on Holley 94s converted to 2 barrel tbis, which I think will allow me to go back to 8 squirts alternating. Hope to have progress to report soon. Ken

What kind of injectors are used in the escort throttlebody and how many are there per TB?

Here's a little more progress on my Holley 94 conversion to TBI. The injectors are mounted to the fuel rail which sits perched over the carburetor throats. Most of the fuel lines etc. will remain hidden up in the air cleaner. Ken

That's pretty cool Ken, nicely built. Can hardly wait to see it running.

Cheers

That's pretty slick Ken, nice job!

Let us know how she runs and drives.

I really need to get back to mine, haven't touched it in months. The engine is wired and ECM is intalled, next is the main wiring harness.

Cheers

Currently running 2 - 1988 Ford Escort 2.0 TBI's mounted on an adapter plate on a Stromberg base and Megasquirt II software. The TBI's can be found on Ebay from $32 (used) to $150 (OEM) each, the Megasquirt II (About $500), then there is the supply and return lines to the fuel tank and a higher pressure fuel pump with 10 micron and 100 micron filters fore and aft of the fuel pump. Materials: say about $1,000.

Looks very interesting. One more thing for me to fool with in the shop.

Awesome! I just came across this vid as it just showed up in my suggested vids. Did a search on it here, and it brought me to a bunch of threads including this one. Lol!
