Big boost turbo's

Can’t say never. Sometimes you change injectors so You spill some fuel probably and have to smell it.

Just use E85! It smells good!

I hope its not a load of hassle like carbs are

If you are nervous about it, find someone that can help you along the way. Richie Webb is probably a great efi resource in your part of the world. Grab an ecu that he is familiar with and get some help from him for the tune. Anyone with a laptop can dial in the fuel table decently enough, however, horsepower is found in the ignition table, and that's pretty tough to dial in without a dyno, and some tuning know how.

Me trying to save a few pennies is wondering if I can use the dells as throttle bodies. No fuel piped into it ,jets removed, mixture screws, air bleeds screwed shut . blades fitted.
Thinking of doing this ,with injector bosses fitted to the manifolds, my motor is a narrow one with a fair bit of room between the manifolds and the inner wings.

I don't see why you couldn't. You will have to fit tps sensors to them.

Just one

Another idea.
Remove the S.U Carb. fit a single throttle body with TPS in its place and weld some bungs into the manifolds. It would save on fabrication time and save some money.
Does the throttle body position/length of manifold make a difference. I see plenty of single throttle bodies with long manifolds before the valve.

[buguy]

I'm sure that's definitely an alternative. I've always felt my single with a long intake was an inferior design to duals with a short intake. I would think it would have to affect throttle response with the long intake.

[GARRICK.CLARK1]

Yeah, I did read the throttle response is a bit slower.

[buguy]

Also no linkage or synch. So there are 2 sides to every coin.

I've discovered the slow speed chugging/hunting is looking like the air speed , basically the pipe work from the turbo to the carb is too long/too big, this is why when I change down a gear to get the air speed back up , the engine runs ok. just saying, its still not injection

[buguy]

Gonna try downsizing on the tube diameter?

[GARRICK.CLARK1]

Yeah ,I'll step it down some, Think I can loose some pipe inches from the turbo to the carb too, that will increase speed a bit, It worked before, but I'm forever tinkering with it trying to do something better.
Think the saying is ..if it ain't broke don't fix it. lol

[buguy]

Yeah I don't know about carbs. Mine is really far between the turbo and injectors and seems to work ok. I'm sure it would be better if it were shorter though.

[GARRICK.CLARK1]

Well, I've removed a meter of boost pipe, now turbo to carb is about a foot. Shortest distance I've had yet. Weekend now so Sod it , BBQ time
