Interest in Performance Parts for slants?
not to intentionally drag this thread from the dead but I'll FINALLY be picking up a test mule Slant next week. Hopefully By springtime I can have it mocked up on a stand and begin work on my first project: MPFI. I'd like to make a smooth flowing intake that uses a throttle body (most likely a 52mm) and currently produced injectors with a MegaSquirt as the engine management.
Thoughts?
After looking into the Megasquirt and aftermarket injector cost I'd say the overall cost would be more than most slant guys would want to pay... I'm going to play with modifying a Magnum 3.9L injection system to work on a slant application, using refreshed 5.2L injectors.
To get a general consensus:
How many of you guys would be against an in tank fuel pump setup?
What would you pay for a multipoint fuel injection setup?
Would there be interest in a 'make your own' kit that includes just the intake?
I probably won't have anything in the realm of camshafts for a while guys, I'm a pretty broke college kid and affording a lathe is a tiny bit out of the budget at the moment :cheers:
Necessary evils of the injection setup
-Wiring, plenty of wiring. The plan is to make is as plug and play as possible but there will be a little splicing to make the magic happen
-O2 sensors
-Electric fuel pump(s)
-Adjustable fuel pressure regulators
Lastly: I'm hoping to have a few prototypes by the end of summer 2013 and I'm looking for potential test vehicles. I need drivers, something that will see miles (not necessarily over the winter if these intakes become available in September but in the spring and summer). I'd like to have 2 early A's (Valiant/Barracuda) and 2 post 67 cars. I'd supply the parts as loaners with the opportunity to buy if you like how it works (would be less $ than the production parts). I'll put together an application when I get closer to a working setup (will also keep you guys updated with any progress at all).
I'll make sure that any Cheby or Ferd parts that have to be used have any evidence of their past life removed:supz:
