one of the classic car mags has a feature on putting injection on a 5 port

nice one mate which one is that do you know?

practical classics (i read it in tescos)

They're using that canems ecu

any chance of scanning it and posting here ?

that would be illegal steve...

Yes Steve and it might do someone out of a job, you bad man you!

A man without a project is like a like a woman without a shopping list.

what was the verdict, what ae the details, did it work?

"Turbo's make torque, and torque makes fun"

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

Interesting stuff.

However, he has only implemented what TurboMinis have been talking about doing for the last 2 1/2 years.

It wrangles me a little when he states "you saw it here first".

But to be fair, he has done a good job and has been first to bring it to the mass market.

Saul Bellow - "A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep."
Stephen Hawking - "The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge."

Neat!!
Don't worry Paul. As long as you KNOW you did it first. . . . . . .

Hi, I will have a word with the guys at the magazine and see if I can upload the before and after power plots for you.

The conversion was on a bog standard Austin A40 (ok at the opposite end of the performance range to what turbominis is all about!). Nevertheless it gained 22% power at the wheels, with only modifications being single SU to MPI injection manifold.

The ECU was only working from a base map - the conversion had to be done in a day so we ran out of time for fine tuning. Power was slightly down at the bottom end for this reason. So potentially more improvement to come.

Personally I think Practical Classics deserve a lot of respect for featuring an MPI conversion - they could have played it safe and fitted any other well known ecu and SPI, but I think they realised that typical injection conversions have already been done to death by other magazines. But then I would say that!

Cheers
Dave
