Pinto EFI to carbs

[Davey]

"EFi is simple."

It better be, I've got a six pot 24 valver that I need to fabricate an inlet fanimold for to take three pairs of bike throttle bodies then set up an Emerald ECU to run the ignition and injection systems. Was planning on fully sequential injection but will probably go paired to start with and look at full sequential later.

There is no point realy going for sequential fueling.

So glad to hear you say that TT

When I got my replacement engine loom for my 1.8 Zetec engine I took the entire loom & ECU but had to cut half a dozen wires that went to the escorts fusebox

I know one goes to the fuel pump & one goes to to the tacho but don't know where the rest go at the moment.

Guess who i'll be calling on when I come to wiring up the engine

[twinturbo]

you do need a loom diagram, or an ecu pinout mind....

Hopefully TT things should be reasonably straight forward

Early 1.8 zetec Mk5 Escort 105ps engine .... The loom I removed was from an identical car of the same age.

All plugs intact & well labled, so far so good.

My intention at the moment is to hook it all up as standard, ECU and all

So with a little luck, the only wiring that I will have to play with, will be the few wires that I cut that entered the drivers side bulkhead/fuse box

Once the engine is running .... I'll have a play with the inlet plemum & make one that is a bit more bonnet friendly.

If it all goes tits up it'll be plan B, C or even D !!

dave bring all the efi bits back with you and i will bench test it.

hopefully they will conform to standard ford colours

I have to disagree I'm afraid. Full sequential injection properly set up will result in a smoother running engine, better starting and lower emissions coupled with better fuel economy. I'm not overly concerned about fuel economy as my personal annual average mileage for the last five years has been around 3k and much as I want to drive my Dragon I don't foresee it covering many miles but any saving of fuel is a good thing, not only for my pocket but for the planet too (no I'm not a tree hugger in disguise either ).

If sequential injection didn't give any significant benefits then mainstream manufacturers wouldn't waste money on it.

If you really want to see the benefits of complex sequential injection look no further than your average modern diesel car or van. The modern common rail diesel injection system obviously has to be sequential as its the fuel injection that starts combustion but most systems nowadays are giving three separate shots of fuel per cylinder per firing stroke, the latest generation Bosch and VDO systems are doing up to five squirts per firing stroke. The result of this is an incredibly smooth diesel engine that produces significant torque even at low engine speeds, coupled with a small turbo charger they don't even display any lag. fiat's latest 2.3 litre diesel is giving 160BHP and is as smooth as freshly pressed silk to drive.
