Thats just given me the horn..... I bet you feel lighter now mate... Looks great cant wait to see this in action. It's a lovely bit of kit. I've had to work bloody hard to earn the money for it, but it's worth it! For those of you that need more of a clue... 
Got a slight clearance issue with the air filter. 
I was considering a longer manifold, but Ben (he made the manifold kit) has suggested that may cause me problems with fuel pooling in the manifolds and loose throttle response. I think I'll look into longer a trumpet. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

It's a lovely bit of engineering. I don't think the injection will give me much, if any, more power, but I should be able to get the best out of the setup and hopefully improve the fuel economy compared to a carb. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

With a bit of tube and threaded bar for mocking up, the air filter fits.

If you are having to move it that much, would it not be worth ducting it and putting it near the grill area? |

I've considered trying to duct/direct some cold air up there. Will have to see what space there is once a few more things are fitted under the bonnet. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

As said above, it would be easier to fit an 'induction kit' type set up as fitted to all other injection cars with the filter behind the grill, in direct cold air. one day boost will be mine!

How is that easier? I've got to mess around routing the pipework round the engine, fresh air duct etc etc? seems much easier and neater to bolt a longer trumpet in to me. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

S.C. are looking at a longer trumpet for me. It should be possible as they tried various lengths on their demo engine.

Have the injectors been specced to your engine? Or are they a one size fits all? |
