Nice setup. Little surprised to see this baby in a Mazda RX7 too. One suggestion is to leave off the background sound track and of course include a little driving. I think these systems are 1200 plus whatever else is needed. I'm seriously thinking of adding one on my 429 powering my 78 F250.
exactly. does an efi kit exist that can really replace a carburetor being fed by a 4-7psi mechanical or electric fuel pump with no return line required? i know that there are efi systems for marine engines that work with a low-pressure fuel supply but those are not available as bolt-on replacements for street vehicles.
Also to note. I've dynoed a few of these units and if there are spots that just hang around 10:1 AFR its a sign of distribution issues with the manifold. Dual planes are a shit to tune with TBI. Get a good single plane manifold and you wont look back!
I bought a FiTech brand new.. First one I got was faulty from new.. Took 7 weeks to get another. Ran It for a 4,000 miles and had so many issues including 2 failed injectors. And first remote broke, had to buy another. Eventually I decided to ditch the FiTech for a Holley Sniper.. The Sniper is way way superior.. Zero issues in 5 months.
I do agree that more power is fun to play with. But the most fun I have ever had in a car was in my moms Miata. The fact that it had no power made it so I could drive it hard everywhere. With the V8 in the RX7 it was a blast but I was well over the speed limit to quickly to have fun all the time. I think there is a place for both!
Pick up an electric temp gauge and just splice it in with the efi sensor. Idk if it will mess with the signal by sending it to two gauges but just food for thought
Pick up an electric temp gauge and just splice it in with the efi sensor. Idk if it will mess with the signal by sending it to two gauges but just food for thought. Oh you can use a brass nipple and a tee with both the efi sensor and the probe for the mechanical gauge. As well as you could put your mechanical gauge in any place there's a plug in a water jacket. I run my efi sensor in the head and mechanical gauge from the intake
Too many steps were missing from this video including whether or not an O2 sensor port was already on exhaust system. Adding an O2 port to an exhaust system makes this install go from dead easy to a pain in the ass depending on your skill and equipment available to you. The Sniper comes with a no-weld system for O2 sensor install. This simplifies the install.
The FiTech system comes with the same no weld O2 system. But rather then using that i had a O2 bung welded in the exhaust while i was building the car. I try to future proof my builds a little.
Its really as simple as they advertise. Wish I had a garage and I could have knocked it out in that amount of time. Took me about 4 hours including going into the gas tank and swapping the fuel pump and going to the hardware store for some new bolts.
Wrong, i bought an FITECH, and after months of tunning, wiggling and calling tec, with no good results, Went back to my Holley 750 CFM and it runs Great!. If you know how to maintain and tune a carb, you are good, Btw, i hate the fast efi fast idle too, sucks..
It depends on how good you are with a carb. If all you want is to turn the key and go then its a great kit. But if you want it to be perfect and you drive your car hard “not just WOT” drag race stuff. Then I would look into a different kit. The Fitech just doesn’t have the R&D time to back up there products yet.
Hi brother. Just a question. Does EFIs just fit exactly (bolt holes, opening diameter, etc) where the carburetor is removed from ANY engine? In other words, are carburetors sizes and mounting standard like house hold mains sockets? I do ask because I have watched a number of videos on how to swap carbs to efi and I have find none that warns on the mounting fittings or adopters or anything of that kind. I want to change my 1991 suzuki vitara carb to efi. hence I have been trying to learn how to. Thanks in advance.
Its a standard 4 bore intake. I believe there are two types but honestly I don’t remember what the other style is called. From my experience the standard 4 bore is more common.
Most v8 carbs on small blocks at least, use a standard mounting. The carter, quadrajet, edebrock, Holley, are all just about identical. Check your existing intake manifold and carb and look it up. They sell inexpensive spacers/adapters for any intake to adapt to these units (and competitors). Hood clearance can be a pain. Hardest part is the high pressure fuel system. Getting adequate pressure and volume, returns or returnless, integrated regulator or external, aeration in the tank, most efi driveability problems are due to inadequate fuel delivery. Carbs are more forgiving because they are low pressure and have a float bowl.
Couldn’t hear the engine over the music, if it weren’t for that it would’ve been a great video, have you drove it now to see if there’s a noticeable difference?
Sorry for the music, I edit with headphones and tend to turn it up a bit to much. Iv got about 1000 miles on the system on now and it works as advertised. I will admit though its more or less a trade from the issues with the carb to new issues. Cold starts are not fast and can't seem to tune it out of the system. Its never stalled once its running but it hesitates when it gets hot. Im sure I can get it running 100% but I could have gotten the carb to run 100% to so don't know if its worth it or not.
Sure. Need a suitable efi setup for it. High pressure fuel system, custom intake manifold, ECU, suitable injectors, a dyno for tuning, and lots of patience. Or find a donor bike that is already efi and adapt it to fit your engine.
Definitely but this car isn’t a “race car” id rather loose 20-30hp and keep dirt out of the motor keeping it healthy. Still making more power and torque then a N/A 13b.
My cold start still needs a bit of tuning, right now when its below 40F it stumbles after it starts but that can be tuned on. Its the first winter with the system so I have not had a chance to work with the tune below 50F. Once I do it should work just like most modern cars.
can you send me what wires you connected where? I have the same build FC w a 302. I mages fitech they just said I had gravity feed problems w the pump which is mounted under the rear bumper. it's getting pressure but the main line running to the fitech is bone dry and it is buzzing (fp) at key on.
You should be able to, the biggest issue with an older car is adding a fuel pump to the system that will supply enough pressure to make the efi work. As long as an electrical fuel pump doesn’t have to lift or suck the fuel an inline pump works great!
Your Video Started Out Great For The First Few Seconds .. I heard every word you said ..Then You Added That Not Required F..KING DROWN OUT THE NARRATOR MUSIC....so .needless to say ..I left Immediately...., but b4 I did ..a leave a comment of wisdom ...Re Edit Your Video. To Be A Great Video .and LEAVE THE MUSIC OUT , or at least turn it down ..so YOU Can Be Heard Cleary. Just a thought man

Turn OFF the MUSIC so the CAR can be HEARD!
agree

your music is really annoying and defeats the reason for trying hear how the engine runs.
You did it in a parking lot, BUT, 99.9 % of people installing this or a sniper will not have a return line already run or even have an intank pump....

Agreed...PCM pump motor does not need return line and applying exterior installation makes for much easier access when repairs or mods come around.

My wife hates your curtains.
I hate the rims
Was expecting a rotary🤦♂️
I love those cars too bad they were underpowered they should have came from the factory with a V8 look forward to your next post

You either get a good one or a throwaway one..Fitech is pretty second rate
Hey man if you are looking for a cam in the future for the 302, I highly suggest the B303 cam from Ford performance
This fi can be converted to nissan sentra b13

lol I did mine fitech swap in about 2 1/2 hours while drinking beer XD
ruclips.net/video/wICDkD5F3yQ/видео.html their systems will handle a lot of cam if you decide to put a e303 cam in the 302.
Its really as simple as they advertise. Wish I had a garage and I could have knocked it out in that amount of time. Took me about 4 hours including going into the gas tank and swapping the fuel pump and going to the hardware store for some new bolts.
Nice job
I did a swap bt car shut off whn coming to a stop, whats the problem?? Please.
How we buy it
can this be used for a 4 cylinder engine?
Wrong, i bought an FITECH, and after months of tunning, wiggling and calling tec, with no good results,
Went back to my Holley 750 CFM and it runs Great!. If you know how to maintain and tune a carb, you are good,
Btw, i hate the fast efi fast idle too, sucks..
is it better than carb? like running smootheness and acceralation ? Please. I m planning to set install 1979 Malibu with v6 3.8L

Iwant to swap ..how can I get it
But what is that thing on his wrist?
Trying to learn what is needed, but your music is toooooooo distracting and irritating. If you attend a learning class, you don't hear annoying music.
Couldn’t hear the engine over the music, if it weren’t for that it would’ve been a great video, have you drove it now to see if there’s a noticeable difference?
Sorry for the music, I edit with headphones and tend to turn it up a bit to much. Iv got about 1000 miles on the system on now and it works as advertised.

Hi you doing well. I want to ask that. how does it make the injection timing?
could you do a 305 engine like this?
Check on engine masters they had the same trouble too!
Nice shirt
Can you run turbo in it
This video could be great but music ruined it.....
Did it have a o2 sender to hook up
Can anyone point me in the direction to find a fuel sending unit for a 74 Pontiac Grandville
You swapped the rotary out?
What 302 is your engine from?
Hello sir is it possible to convert a carburetor to fuel injection cbx1000?
Thanks for your advice
Sure. Need a suitable efi setup for it. High pressure fuel system, custom intake manifold, ECU, suitable injectors, a dyno for tuning, and lots of patience. Or find a donor bike that is already efi and adapt it to fit your engine.
The music really ruined the video
I am sure you would be faster with a bigger diameter carb...
NOT carb, air filter housing. SORRY
Definitely but this car isn’t a “race car” id rather loose 20-30hp and keep dirt out of the motor keeping it healthy. Still making more power and torque then a N/A 13b.
How do EFI systems impact cold start, eg can you just turn the key like a modern car?
My cold start still needs a bit of tuning, right now when its below 40F it stumbles after it starts but that can be tuned on. Its the first winter with the system so I have not had a chance to work with the tune below 50F. Once I do it should work just like most modern cars.
Kill the music bro!!
fitech has never worked well for us and we have done everything that they recommended, it sucks
Loose the music
Wtf turn the music off!!!
What size was your previous carb
I had a carter AFB 600 CFM vacuum secondary carb. Worked well with a more or less stock motor.
can you send me what wires you connected where? I have the same build FC w a 302. I mages fitech they just said I had gravity feed problems w the pump which is mounted under the rear bumper. it's getting pressure but the main line running to the fitech is bone dry and it is buzzing (fp) at key on.
Horrible music! Hard to listen
Some one come help me install a efi in my car
Its really not hard at all. Just read through everything so you have an idea what you need to do then go for it!
@@Petrol360 can I do this to my 87 Caprice classic...
You should be able to, the biggest issue with an older car is adding a fuel pump to the system that will supply enough pressure to make the efi work. As long as an electrical fuel pump doesn’t have to lift or suck the fuel an inline pump works great!

Good vid. Music absolutely sucks. Sounds too much like what an 8 year old girl dances to in the mirror.
Music sucked.
