As if I don't have anything else to do I have decided to go Fuel Injected. There's quite a lot of info on the forum and I have been trolling it for a week or two. I have no prior experience with it but thought that my learning process on this may help others --- this is going to take a while!
I only want to do this on a standard build engine, no search for ultimate power here but hopefully some gains can be made, if only from eliminating that twisty inlet manifold and eventually an exhaust header will help as well. I decided to go Rover plenum a-la Flying Farmer, as that seemed the easiest and most well trodden route. I will eventually go with a Ford EDIS ignition as I have experience with that when I did the turbo Mini with Megajolt and loved it. So the obvious is to use Magasquirt which pulls them both together. Megasquirt 2 or 3 is yet to be decided, but either way I will use a 36-1 trigger wheel.
First purchase was a Rover Plenum.. Not many SDI's over here so hopefully a LandRover one will do. So first problem is what are all the pipes for? Which ones will I need?
Here are some pics...
1 and 2 look like water pipes.
3 is one of the many taps into the plenum
4 is a straight shot into the inlet, maybe for the breather pipes?
5 looks like it could be used for ignition but it is just after the throttle plate.
6 is another shot into the inlet but it tees off via adjuster 8 into the plenum which I suspect is an air bypass adjustment.
7 is another tap into the Plenum
9 and 10 go into the plenum
11 looks like a candidate for the brake servo.
