Hello All,
I've been seriously thinking about going with a fuel injected set-up on my motor. I'm needing a couple things straightened out in my head. First off,
I've been wondering what's involved in hooking up a Ford computer. The car is a '71 Comet and currently has no electronics on it. I am running a carburated x-flow 250. So how hard is it to hook up a computer?
Originally I was just going to wait and try injecting a 2V I'm building, but I'm liking the x-flow more and more as I drive it and the injected goodies are readily available on e-bay all the time.
Something else I've been wondering about...Has anyone used the small manifold and fuel rail, minus the throttle body and runners, and doing the motorcycle throttle body mod to it?
Would the Ford computer work on this? I know a real engine management system would work better, but I am thinking economy mod$ here.
I was reading some where on the web about some of the Neon boys doing a similiar mod. They were useing the stock computer and throttle bodies from 98 and 99 Suzuki GSXR 750's.
OK, reality is setting back in. I'll probably keep considering the stock set-up for my fuel injection. I just love it when you guys go off on your "Hack Of The Day" threads.
Individual throttle body mods are so cool to me. The ones I've read about and seen look so good and apparently they are making good horsepower. The real bottle neck being a fuel and ignition management system to run them. Any thoughts on eonomy methods and pieces?
PS. On a different note. Here's a couple pics of my car. I just finished my first attempt at a paint job. The car is still being put together but it's coming along.
