I've been running Megasquirt II for a while now on my 71 1.7 with the stock D-jet components and it has been running well. But everything is looking tired in the engine bay and I am planning on taking out the engine to clean everything up and install SS fuel lines.
Then I remembered seeing a video youtube with an australian guy reviewing his 914 and he mentioned having GSXR ITBs on his car. Sounds like a fun project to me so I started researching and think I have found an even better solution. The throttle bodies I found are from a 2001 Honda VFR800. The bike is a V4 so the TBs and fuel rails are already split into pairs, and have a linkage that connects both. They have 37mm throats, and came with the throttle position sensor, fuel pressure regulator , injectors and and all the wiring and connectors. Also the brackets on the sides already have a tab for throttle cable. The injectors are high impedance so I wont have to run PWM on Megasquirt anymore and hopefully can get an even finer tune. I'm also thinking about switching the PCs for 96mm, but I think that will wait until later, but you never know this started out as an engine cleaning... The only things I need to figure out are the flow rate of the injectors, where I'm going to hook up the IAT sensor, and will need to build a vacuum plenum. Also these injectors run at 36 psi, can the stock fuel pump handle that or do I need to look for another solution? Here are some pics, check out how close the spacing is for weber manifolds. Please excuse the dirt. I still haven't cleaned them up. This is gonna be fun.
