hi there , i bought the car with the cb fuel injection already on it, so it was somewere near , the first thing i did was to fiddle with the dash trim pots and sent it all to sh*t, down loaded the instructions from cb and found a long straight bit of road , took about 1.5 hours to set up, i also had the use of a afr meter
, i accept the system is not as smooth the ecu's running off a crank trigger but it is alot better than carbs and no worries with cold starting etc.Last year i was running a 220bhp turbo setup and getting 25-28 mpg on a run
although this dropped to 10-15 blasting round town .As for this year am building a brand new engine with a larger turbo mounted ontop of the gearbox and massive pipework , hopefully this will be good for over 300bhp at 15psi , am running without an intercooler untill i can afford a charge cooler ,
cheers jon ]
p.s i made my own wiring harness on the rebuild of the car this year for the fuel injection , so by adding a crank trigger and ignition pack and because i have all the throttle bodies injectors and sensors already with the cb system i only have to buy the new ecu to upgrade to emerald , megasquirt etc
, ecu is 30% of most systems in cost .
