my efi converison

[RICHIE]

just thought i would post up some pictures of the efi conversion im doing using michael tierneys manifold. i havnt got a pic of it including the fuel rail yet as it still wet from being painted. i have some bosch 803 injectors to go in and have sourced all the other relevant parts from scoff ie trigger wheel crank sensor water temp sensor coil pack and ecu all available from http://www.efi-parts.co.uk/Products_1.html

my tubular manifold needs modifying slightly as the last run on it doesnt clear the inlet so just needs tweeking slightly.

will update with pics when the top end is completed with fuel rail injectors ect.

is that one of mikes inlet adapters?

[Rob@Backyardracing]

Coming on well Richi... what size body you using?, i guess with the extension of manifold runners you can run a single fuel rail rather than two looped should look good.... still got all my clobber for an EFI coni sat on bench... May well carry it on one day but other projects come first at mo....

pic of the fuel rail now in situ

[Schakal]

that looks awesome mate ,fair play to you
what sort of power are you hoping to achieve in the end ?

[tubby5]

what fuel rail are you using???

[Noa33]

looking tidy man thats gonna be a fine bit of engineering when its all together

[RICHIE]

michael tirney built the manifold up and made it so as for the parts hes used you will have to speak to him. as for how much power tbh ive not set a figure im not to interested in massive power just want some reliability and fun.

just a quick update on some pics that people requested regarding the angle of the injectors hopefull they give you a good indication. just need to make a bracket to hold the fuel rail in situ. will update in the week with more pics of coil pack and trigger wheel ect in situ

[RICHIE]

picture update of the trigger wheel and sensor bolted on to the crank. the pulley wheel sits behind the trigger wheel and the clearance between the wheel and sensor is 1-2mm.

[Rob@Backyardracing]

Is that one of scoffs brackets? think i mite change my homemade one for this, looks tidy.....

[RICHIE]

yes it is mate its a very good fit and was convienient at that price i also got one of the coil packs he sells with ignitors but not to sure were to mount it just yet as i need to see what room i will have when the engine is in. might get some leads made up so i can move it onto the side of the block out the way of the rad and cooler.

[Matt@CodeRedMotorsports]

Do you have to take the VR sensor off to muck about with/change the auxilliary belt?

[RICHIE]

Do you have to take the VR sensor off to muck about with/change the auxilliary belt?

no the trigger wheel is only slightly bigger 10mm approx than the bottom pulley and does not interfere with fitting/removing the belt. the sensor shouldnt need to be touched.

[scratcher]

I'm well impressed with the work going into this mate.
The bracket for the sensor looks like it was there from the factory, top stuff
The wheels pretty sharp too, haha.

[Ron]

Is the sensor from a Fiesta as it looks the same as the one i use with my megajolt?

[RICHIE]

i would say its a fair chance its used on many cars i got it off scoffs efi site mate.

[RICHIE]

well after having the day off i decided to get my manifold modded to allow the inlet to fit. pretty happy with it at the moment still abit to do but at least its getting there.

[TrixNFlix]

Good stuff. When do you hope to be up and running for richie

[RICHIE]

well the head is all bolted up to the block now and all seems a good fit. all thats needed to do is paint the gearbox and fit the clutch then drop it in for the wiring of the ecu and plumbing up.

[RICHIE]

Good stuff. When do you hope to be up and running for richie

all depends on how much time i get mate just remembered im to order two new driveshafts i forgot there essential for it to move. the ecu will come with a basic map on it from scoff and he is also making me a loom up to make life a little easier. need to remove the old fuel tank as i have the alloy one going in the boot and need to source a new fuel pump. but pretty much there.

[TrixNFlix]

Fingers crossed for you Richie. I know that feeling though, their aren't enough hours in a day!

fuel tank now removed and new tank in situ just needs to be secured i didnt realise how much they actually do weigh and how much space it has created under the car now. have also decided to underseal it so thats a job for tommorow.

only thing im not sure on is the capacity of my new tank at 5 litres i got a feeling im going to be forever filling it up.

5L LOL, my hillclimb tank is 6L

3mins running FTW

if you were to drive normally how many miles will you get out of that mate. the weight i just lost may be gained with the amount of jerry cans i will have to carry

[RICHIE]

picture of the tank in situ im only guessing its roughly 5 litres. i will probably end up doing a matt not normal and break down on the first lap.

[Andrew Cooke]

30 miles maybe...

your tank looks bigger than 5L, what are the dimensions?

having the filler neck inside the car ensures the insides always stink of fuel, plus it's a right arse filling it up.

i will measure it up tommorrow it looks bigger in the pic tbh. what was the arithmatic for working out volume again

[Andrew Cooke]

1L = 1000cc = 10cm x 10cm x10cm

so if your tank is 20cm x 20cm x20cm = 20x20x20 = 8000cc = 8L

[RICHIE]

1L = 1000cc = 10cm x 10cm x10cm

so if your tank is 20cm x 20cm x20cm = 20x20x20 = 8000cc = 8L

thankyou andrew

its 2 gallons so near 9 litres still not many miles though

[RICHIE]

just got back in from outside undersealed the underneath of the car and looks spot on.

[RICHIE]

well thanks to markymark and rich aka gt nutter we dropped the block and box in last night and today i spent a few mins fitting the head up ect . got to make a cross member to allow my intercooler to fit then i will get the rest plumbed in then im going to have a go at wiring up the ecu.

[RICHIE]

a pic would help

[TrixNFlix]

Looking great Richie. Is this gonna be an everyday car, or just weekends and track?

[TrixNFlix]

Sorry just remembered size of fuel tank.
track it is!

[RICHIE]

Looking great Richie. Is this gonna be an everyday car, or just weekends and track?

hoping weekends as well as track days.

[TrixNFlix]

What turbo are you planning , some sort of t25 so it's not to laggy on track?

[FurioKid]

that looks well tidy mate, would love to put EFI on mine but wouldn't really know where to begin and how much it would be to do the work??

[RICHIE]

beginning it is the easy part its finishing it thats the tricky part me thinks.

[FurioKid]

yeah i know what you mean so as to make it look nice and tidy, but to be honest you've done a great job

[RICHIE]

A little more progress due to time ect but it a update never the less

[modfather]

thats a very nice bay chap

[Andrew Cooke]

are they bluetooth spark plugs?

looking good

[Mudslinger]

looks nice m8

have you removed the dizzy completely ?

[RICHIE]

im yet to make something to fill the dizzy gear drive i know i need most of it to drive the oil pump but i was hoping to fabricate something to finish flush with the top of the block. im sure sure were im fitting the coil pack yet so was going to get some leads made up to the exact length just to look tidy.

i was planning to get something cnc machined ,to use as a cap ,ive just never got round to it

[RICHIE]

ive not looked into it yet maybe we will have to get our heads together to knock something up. it cant be that hard

[Os8472]

I ain't got anywhere with it either myself, all I did was cop the pin the rotor arm slides over off and make up a flate plate of ally and screwed it down
