Restoring a 70 which will have a 76 2 liter. Currently has factory injection but guy who will be building engine for me is anti injection. I know this becomes personal decision but could use some input on pro/cons. Cost is a concern but so is practicality and performance.
Words of wisdom please. Merry and Happy to all! |

QUOTE(930cabman @ Dec 29 2021, 03:14 PM)  How much can we figure for a new programable FI system? thanks @930cabman In kit form, DubShop used to have a nice dual ITB Megasquirt kit with wiring, all sensors, pump, etc., for about $3500. Currently showing Waiting on Throttle bodies and no pricing. Get ready for price hike with devaluation of the dollar and supply chain issues! It is the kit I'd love to do if I were going to stay /4 forever. |

Currently showing Waiting on Throttle bodies and no pricing. Get ready for price hike with devaluation of the dollar and supply chain issues! It is the kit I'd love to do if I were going to stay /4 forever. Fuel only SDS, using stock intake (stock pump, injectors, etc) and a DIY install can be done for $1072.* plus a wideband meter. *Parts also needed (extra) MAP sensor 1 bar $73, TPS $93 (can be had at scrapyard), fuel pump relay $30 (optional but recommended). This is the minimum extra parts needed, there's other options. No dyno time required. Basic install time required for me is one weekend, for an amateur maybe 2-4 weekends. Tuning time for me on county back roads one hour, again for the amateur 2-4 times that number. Engine will fire up right away, with the included rich/lean knob I have no worries breaking in a new engine on SDS as you can adjust AFR on the fly. Based on an engine with no mechanical issues. System can tolerate mild carb cam grinds, limited to the stock intake. Don't expect any more than stock performance on a stock engine, FI doesn't add HP. NOTE crankfire "F" systems and crankfire E/MSD systems take much longer, as you have to remove the engine and fab a trigger mount. I've done several of these /4 "D" systems on stock engines, they run great. I have SDS with crankfire on my 2.6L VW bug (T4 conversion) and I have a twin plug system I will install on my 3.0/6 conversion someday. sdsefi.com |
