Big thanks to JohnK and the guys at Specialist Components! Just got my DCOE throttle body setup for the Pierce/MED 7 port head. Looking forward to starting the install process in the next few weeks....setup included AT throttle bodies, pico injectors, air filter assembly, typhoon ecu, harness, associated sensors, coil pack w/wires, fuel regulator, etc.....

A pic on my spare 7 port....





And a generic pic from SC of the entire setup....

How you going to get that water temp sensor in the hole?

wil_h...it was suggested to tap the thermostat housing for the water sensor.

John...we actually went with the pico injectors for their shorter length. With careful planning, it looks like it should all fit with the filter in place as the tb's are slightly shorter than the dcoe's.

I only ask because I have the same sensor and the same hole issue.

I was thinking of using an SPi sensor that screws straight in then put another sensor for the gauge where the heter tap would usually be.

I like the idea of tapping the heater block off as I just have a plate on mine...not sure if my loom is long enough though as I think most of the sensors are wired up to be on the front of the block.

Yes I had the same problem with loom lenghts, hence if you buy the SPi sensor it all fits.

Your temp gauge will be a single wire with a spade connection in your original loom, so should be easy to get to the heater tap area.

I have a piece of 10mm alloy that I plan to drill and tap to suit.

Any thoughts on the actual placement going from radiator side of thermostat to the actual head? Not sure how the temps may vary from one to the other, but wondering if if is hotter in the head and how that could affect the ecu...probably not much difference where the original temp sensor is, but what about on the opposite side of the head where the heater take-off is? I guess I could always check with the infra red meter for a quick external reference.

Yeah....the one in the pic is an early casting directly from Pierce with the standard valves and larger spark plug. The one on the car now is the MED Rally version that is ported with a larger intake valve and 8mm spark plug....Mike Pierce said he revised the casting for the smaller plug to allow for skimming to bring up compression if desired.

I think I've got a couple of thermostat housings WITH metal for the temp take off. if of interest, I'll have a look.
