I'm not clear - do you mean Mechanical fuel injection where fuel flow is controlled mechanically by throttle position and engine rpm by some system of control valves and/or an engine drive fuel pump.

OR
do you mean a programmable electronic fuel injection system where the fuel is controlled by a computer taking imputs such as throttle position, engine vacuum and RPM ?

you mean something like hilborn injection?

The american systems hillborn/enderle etc. often are nickednamed the "drip feed"

they do not actually turn off, fuel is always flowing and is just dribbling out of the injectors at idle/low speed (not great for fuel consumption or driveability) the fuel flow is controlled by an engine driven pump (so its proportional to rpm) and a valve attached to the throttle linkage. tuning of the system is done by changing orifice restrictions in the fuel supply to the "injectors" (although they are really just nozzles)

this type of system is really just for pure racecars, especially dragracing where wide open throttle is all that really matters.

BUT

what you are talking about, an increase in power and being able to cope with atmospheric pressure changes etc. - this sounds like an electron injection system like any modern car.

Ultimately the question is what are you trying to acheive? assuming this is on a fiat twincam engine - any of the induction systems carbs/mech. injection/electronic injection can all be made to work 

 That said, I would be leaning towards carbs or electronic injection - the mechanical system is going to be an experiment very much as its going to be custom and somewhat experimental - I have never heard of anyone running mech. injection on the fiat twin cam apart from the works race/rally cars of which next to no detailed information is available, and even if it was it would be difficult to build a replica injection system.

I am hoping to wire my megasquirt system into my x1/9 turbo over the crimbo...

Tomek,

I will ...

PS : is your Kugelfisher for sale ?

M

 

Kugelfisher is sold.

As for setting up the megasquirt email me at walezy at proaxer dot com

Thanks ,

Based on your tip I found an interesting site for Spica systems :

I have contacted them for availibuility and will report what I find.

With the complications IN GETTING AND THAN INSTALLING AND TUNING such system on one hand and my serious attempt to keep my 131 as original as possible (or at least in accordance with the tuning standards of the day the car was being produced and used for serious sports) I fell it will be safest and simplest to stick to my Weber 45 IDF?s ....
