Here it is, at least what I could get to. This baby is literally shoehorned into an old chicken coop.:eek: I will get more when I move myself and car to my new shop. I sure hope I did this right. It would suck if I accidently posted my porn collection:lol:

So if i'm reading correctly, the L18 and L20 parts are interchangeable with the L16. Are there any more engines that share parts? Sounds like a Turbo project to me. I've got a buddy with a drive on dyno and we will see what I can wring out of the wee motor before it makes bad noises.:lol:

OK, I found the link for the ITB'. Those are some sweet looking parts:D I am messed up on how the do the quote thing on this deal. so please excuse me if some stuff shows up a little wonky:confused: Heirfaus........ Why not take the extrudabody manifolds, weld in some bungs, weld one of their plates to a chopped up factory plenum and call it good? Don't I make things sound sooooo easy:blink::mellow: Well I'm wasting everyones time doing these mental FI gymnastics. My car is in a shed with its parts in at least 6 big boxes. I have a ton of work ahead before I ever get to mounting an engine. I am just curious if anyone has done FI on the L16. Thank you for all the positive posts and it's comforting to know I won't be trying to invent the wheel on this thing. Is it possible to get 150 NA hp out of the L16 or do you have to give her some boost. I realize 50 hp is alot when it started with only 95 to begin with. I know thats such a newbie question, but I figure what the hell. I am a newbie here............LMAO

Not to fear as far as jacking the thread. I don't mind at all and am absorbing as much as possible.. I was curious about the RPM range of the motor because the shorter runner length is more condusive to Hi RPM HP. Longer likes Torque. Selecting cam profiles is important so that things work together at the same time. I am not real big on ITB setups. With the injectors so far away it could allow the fuel to come out of suspension. Most other TBI's I have come in contact with use a wet manifold. Also the pic I say shows a collision spray design on the opposite side of the TB runner which would make for wet manifold. Most injectors collide at or near the intake valve and this is what atomizes the fuel. Very few injectors spray a fog of fuel. The internet pics can be misleading. Those pic's were taken with very high fuel pressure to fog the spray. The better atomized the fuel the more resistant to detonation the engine becomes. OK gotta do some paying work now....I'll be back.

I like the long runners on that manifold. What is the rpm range of the L16

WOW! I knew I found the right place! I don't have the car yet and now am really excited to get it tucked away in my shop. Where to start? The KA needs to be rebuilt. It can wait untill after I get to beat on the car for awhile. I am part of the instant gratification generation and don't want to wait forever to play! The EFI project is great fun. It will cost money. OK! More importantly it allows me to meet people. HELLO PEOPLE:D. In the process I learn something, even better. EFI is the driveability godsend. Especially when you add turbo's. Eventually that's where I will be. To be able to tinker with fuel and timing maps makes me salivate. I have never done it before and can't wait to learn. I have an 87 Mustang, so does every one else thats why I want to play with the 510. Alot of the people in the performance 510 world have a KA or SR. Thats why I want an L16. I know I'm nuts. I realize it will never make huge power but it will be different. It's us crazy people that make life interesting.:lol:. I have never seen the Mega Squirt system and need to get more informed. I am currently a FAST and ACCEL dist. Reading up on the stuff I can do with them is way too fun. Wide band O2 is the only way to go. EFI does bring power to the equation. Carbs are an exercise in sacrifice and comprimise. max HP carbs work fine. Electronic Fuel injection allows many times more tuning abilities than a low and hi speed jet stuck in a venturi. While you may not gain top end HP numbers you will gain mid range and low rpm hp. Thats where most of us drive anyway. Better mileage is also a great side benefit. I'll get some pics up this weekend. I promise! Thanks again for the help .........Art

Hi folks. I'm brand new here and would like to get my feet wet on the forum. I like the fact there are so many NW posters here and look foreward to meeting you. My name is Art and I run the Doctor Injector of Renton shop. A friend just hooked me up with a basket case 70 510 2dr auto to play with and turn into an autocrosser. The car is literally in a basket. It comes with 2 L16 engines, one rebuilt and the other "worn out". Webber side draft carbs. One KA24 of unknown build date with a 5sp dogbone or is it dogleg transmission. As I run a FI shop it just won't do to have a carburetor on my ride. I would like to convert the L16 to FI and was wondering if there were any factory intake manifolds that would bolt up to the L16 head. I don't care about the SCCA rules as the car will just be a weekend warrior/ thrasher fun car. I was hoping for factory stuff because I don't want to try and reinvent the wheel if I don't have to. I'm not interested in the KA swap yet because it has a rod knock and I will need to go through it before I can put it in. I think I will have enough stuff on my plate just getting it going after sitting in a shed for 20 years. It sounds like everything is there as far as the car goes, just in boxes. It is missing a windshield. Anybody know of a local connection for glass? Thanks in advance for the help. You folks have already helped me in the huge database on info here........Art
