5 Port EFI Kits - Gauging Interest
Turbo Mini Forums

I'm about to start on another EFi project and need to put together a load of parts.

Whilst I am at it, I thought it may be worthwhile making a kit of parts available. Most of it will be bought in except the inlet manifold and some other odds and ends.

This will utilise the Megasquirt ECU including the TM developed Siamese Code options.

It will not be cheap - £2k plus I would think, but what you will get will be proven and have a base setup which with a little tweaking should be ready to go. Help with the final setup would be available.

The sort of contents of the kit would be as follows:

Main Hardware:
ECU - MSII with two injector outputs, two coil outputs, cam sensor and dual O2 sensor input. Numerous add-on extras available.
Throttle Body/Bodies - Dual Jenvey for NA or single for charged version.
Inlet Manifold - Fabricated to take two or three injectors per port. Simple NA version for dual TBs or charged version with plenum for single TB.

Sensors:
Throttle Position Sensor
Coolant Temperature Sensor
Inlet Air Temperature Sensor
Crank Position Sensor
Phase Sensor (modded Dizzy or hall sensor for cam drive wheel)
Dual Oxygen Sensors with gauges

Fuel System:
Injectors - 2/4/6
Fuel Rails
Fuel Pump
Fuel Filter
Fuel Pressure Regulator

Ignition:
Coil Pack or Coil On/Near Plug or Logic Level Coils

Miscelaneous:
Trigger Wheel
Idle Air Control Valve
Looms

It will be priced up as packages with options. All parts would be new, nothing ex-scrappy.

Would this be of interest to anyone?

Sounds great but not got that sort of cash this year, maybe next

I think I'll park that idea for now.

think its the cost, its a brilliant product but not many people would want to spend £2k when still the most powerfull turbo 5 port a-series are on carb? just thinking out loud.......

I wouldn't give up on the idea Paul.

If you are going to build another cost it up and offer it out, you never know.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

I think that once we have a few more cars using the Siamese code then people will take more interest.

I need to get the 1293 Turbo Miglia running and producing the goods, then there may be an indication of the benefits in peak horsepower terms over a carburetor.

TBH "peak" horsepower doesn't interest me. I want the mid range and part throttle driveability that a mapped injection system can offer.

If I can't accomplish this with the 5-port then the 7-port beckons

EDIT: Consider this me registering interest in this package, however if a 7-port injected solution can be had for the same sort of money then this may be the way to go.

its a good idea. it hink what you are up against is the lack of spare cash most people have at the moment

i think 2k for this is a bargain, great work Paul.

For what it's worth, I think you summed it up yourself....

Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ???

Make that 6 as this latest one is NA 1380. The intention is to get some comparible data with a Weber carb.

That is if I can keep Sturgeo on track. He keeps drifting off towards Skylines at the moment :(

Ive honestly never been interested but if youre doing a 1380 NA Ill be watching the progress.
What spec would it be?

Paul

I seriously doubt it!

i think 2k is cheap

Ah, ofcourse - silly me

I seriously doubt it!

just logging my interest, i dont intend on having efi straight away but definitely in the future, i am planning a 7port head to make it simpler but i have eyes on your mig :)

Yes i moved to the darkside

The idea with building a high spec NA 1380 is that the available power from a 296 cam, 36/31 head and a Weber carb is well understood. This will give us a direct comparison.

The problem with any turbo engine is that it is difficult to make any direct comparisons due to too many variations.

Although I am building a high spec 998 Turbo that should be comparable with the TT2 or Graham Harveys car.

for what it offers, i think this is cheap too

think about it, £2k for a bolt on package that will give optimum running conditions for your engine, and further more any engine you ever buy

if i had the money at present i would be a definate yes, but one day i will and this is definately the route ill go down

but remember its not just the parts you will be getting, but the valuable time all these guys have put into the r&d to get it to this stage

I've been doing a bit of research and this is looking more attractive. I think further reading is in order.
