Al, Will you continue to use the distributor or change to crank fire ignition?

crankfire
 

The engine has been installed in Tony's IROC project and it's a little ways off from becoming a driver, but I have it all set up for EDIS/crankfire. I plan to fine tune the EFI system, under load...I.E. while driving it with the stock distributor installed...and then when the EFI is debugged and working to our satisfaction, switch over to the EDIS ignition system. I'm mainly interested in the ITB/EFI system (the EDIS system is, for my purposes...secondary) and........I like to debug one system at a time.

Regards,

Al

PS: stay tuned for updates

No pressure - impatiently waiting for updates -

how about now ???

Now ??

Hey Brad
Winter weather getting to you? It sure is getting to me. I find myself looking forward to going to work.
It's a lot warmer in a nylon plant then it is at home.
I'm waiting for more info as well. I don't have to make any decisions yet as far as the intake is concerned, I probably won't get started till the fall on the rebuild but thats not so bad as the engine I have(2.2) works well, it just doesn't have the power I want.
I will use the time to read the forum (learning loads,thanks all) and buy parts I'll need for the monster motor I dream about.

Al, what a fantastic thread! I hope to go down a route like this with my SC, so a fascinating read for an EFI novice like me. I have such admiration for those brave enough to take the first leap.
I look forward to your updates....

I agree, this thread has really gotten me pumped up about an EFI conversion (gotta love the look of ITBs too).

I know this is a DIY project so I'm not expecting a finished product, but how complicated do you foresee that it will be to fit it to the engine when finished and how much tweaking of the software will be necessary to get any specific engine to run well?

Keep up the good work! SmileWavy

Heeerrres Johnny - :( - redrum - redrum

this thread is really great - just funning with Al, he is doing great with this and I for one am glad he has taken this on. Saving my pennies thinking this is the way to go.

So Al - how about now ?? :D

Very Cool.........

This is really looking like an exciting option for budget sensitive DIYer's. I just got a new iPhone and did a search for an MS App. It appears one is in the works for their latest rendition which uses a USB interface. Have you thought about the possibility of mounting the TB's directly to the heads and mounting a resonance intake from say a 964 rather then the stacks? I'm not sure MS has a method for controling the flap but I'm sure there's a way.

Keep up the good work!

Al, any updates regarding cost and availability ? I need fuel to start flowing into my wild 2.3l ,
I have mentioned to you. Season in EU starts in a few short months........hate to be w/o a car at all the fun events......
...no pressure though......:)

Weekly bump for updates.

I know you may have more on your table with your new silver 3.2 car, but I'm still interested in the 2.7 ITB developments.

Wow, you beat me to it! :) This is a project I've had on the back burner for a while now for my 2.7. Really like the work you've done, it looks amazing! Can't wait to see when it's all done.

Bump for updates and awesome thread!

Just a quick update on my conversion, standard 2.2T, Triumph TB's, EDIS-6. Rolling roaded at 156BHP and take a look at the torque curve (Yellow) :)

Hey Al,
Great article about this project in the latest edition (issue 6) of "Classic Porsche"

Just bought a set of Triumph TB myself :-) Collecting parts for a future build :-)

The issue also features another pelicanite, Margnus Walker, and his great outlaw collection

Issue #6 Classic Porsche in stores now
 

Hey Al and those interested, I just found Classic Porsche issue #6 with Al's write up on his Triumph ITB set up in Barnes and Noble. Looks like a great issue with Magnus's cars also featured. Now I just need to find a quiet moment to read it. Back into the shop for me!....

can someone post the article here for us all to read...??

Great thread!!
I just bought a pair of tripples from a Sprint ST that I plan on using on my 2,0 liter flatsix too. Any tips etc. that I need to convert my carbed flatsix to MS is welcome so I think I will be keeping contacts with you about this!!:cool::D

Now I notice that these ITB's were mounted to the stock manifold. What If I just make an adapter/spacer and mount then straight above the head intakes instead? They would get closer to the heads this way too?

Hebster,
This was a fun project for me and it was great to have an idea and follow it through to completion. I would be glad to answer any questions that you might have regarding the project. I also thought of making adapters to allow the ITBs to run straight into the head intake ports, or of keeping the Triumph spacing as-is and making an adapter for that, but after some consideration, I decided to use the Weber intake manifolds. One of the reasons for doing this was that I could modify the standard ITB to ITB linkage to work with this spacing. Also, the Weber/Zenith manifolds were plentiful and relatively inexpensive.

regards,
al

Al, r u still planning on selling as a kit?
