How To Install a Holley Super Sniper EFI
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 апр 2019
- In this video I install a Holley Super Sniper EFI system on my #FairmontProject. The engine is a turbocharged 363 custom small block Ford. I was running a Demon 750 carburetor but I felt I took that as far as I could go.
I’m very happy that Holley came out with this system as it fit my needs perfectly. I’m speaking specifically about this units forced induction capabilities.
I’m looking forward to tuning it in the coming months. So far, drivability is much improved, but not perfect. There still seems to be some things that need to get sorted out. I may cover that in a future video if there’s interest.

Just installed The regular sniper, finished on Monday 22. April , after 3 days of 8 hour days, dropping the tank, removing all exitsing fuel lines and ran new ones. the darn thing started on the first key turn before the starter had finished one full rev. i was so proud i patted myself on the back til i burped
I’m in the process of doing the same. I’m excited
@@BUILTFORDTOUGH79 how did it go ?
@@MOE13576 personally, no issues. I love it. One suggestion….. get a more precise tune and make sure your timing is 100% before trying to diagnose any issues you think may be related to the Holley.
@@BUILTFORDTOUGH79 Alright, Thank you
@@danielaguirre5611 you send it to a tuner and they change fuel tables and timing. Read up on it…..
Raging river vs serene, calm lake... That's a brilliant analogy for electrical power distribution!
Thanks.
Agreed!
Nice work Eric. I’m looking forward to the test drive. Keep the content coming.
YES, TUBES. I've been waiting for you to cover this, FINALLY.
coming alive with psi at 55. I fell in love with injection.. new starts, cold cold starts.. 20 years sitting, dead of winter.. it is just alive. Nice setup
Good morning! "Remove the engine and transmission" First LOL of the day! Thanks Eric!
First step removing the trans: Twist your nob til it falls off.
Yes this was the video I’ve been excitingly waiting for.
A little humor for you Eric, when I was a kid in the eighties, one of my friends and I were commuting to work one morning in his old Ford 150. The throttle cable end snapped off at the pedal, similar to what happened to you. We pulled on to the shoulder of the highway and tied a shoelace to the end of the throttle cable to make it hand operated. Since it was a standard trans truck, I had to shift gears, since he didn’t happen to have three hands. 😂
I am not very much into car building but when I watch your videos make me thinking about it. Really enjoy your videos, tks
Hehe, I'm only 9 minutes in and the vibe I'm getting is "take installation directions and place them directly in the trash"! Love it! Eric, you do you, man!
Hello! That's really cool installation. Get this baby on the road Eric ;-) Can't wait to see the beast roaring! Thanks!
I love the neat wiring too as you do, so i took a screen shot of it 👍🏻
The intro, the content, your attitude perfect. I like how you wired it to suit your needs. This is one of the most real world install videos.
Thank you!
@@ericthecarguy hey! Where you at rocky mountain race week 2020?
Saw your car on this 1320 vid ruclips.net/video/LQIIZ3dlNcc/видео.html at 7:11
WOW great video it took me 2 weeks to install my Holley HP EFI on my 93 351w mustang but had a bad ECU. Sent it back to Summit Racing and got a new one but it took sometime in getting the car to run perfect due to getting the IAC position at 0%. But I love the Holley system wished I discovered this system years ago.
Seen the entire thing just to hear it turn over. Worth it
Hey Eric, it’s awesome how honest you are with your info. Here in Australia we call that a good bloke.
Moment of truth Mr Eric Cook
I remember watching the build in 2016. One badass setup
Absolutely brilliant video Eric.
Thanks Eric! I'm maybe 6 months out from doing the same thing on my FE project. Helpful info here, have a great weekend.
Good luck with your build!
Awesome video! Can’t wait for the performance review!
Thanks for all you do. We really love your channel.
My head hurts now. Back in the day, I’d get it but now, more fun watching you.
Good work Eric nice to see that engine working
Sounds so good with the sniper efi
I had a 72 Camaro with a 383 carburetorated and I loved that car! I regret every day selling it however I do remember having to constantly fuss with the carburetor and because it wasnt daily driven and sat for weeks sometime without being driven there were constantly issues ! I should have converted it to fuel injection! I believe your going to be allot happier with this efi system in the long run! You'll also be able to tune your engine better and hopefully get more horsepower as a result! As always a great video! Please keep em coming!!
Yeah for a car that isn't driven much, EFI is the way to go, carbs hate sitting around. Had a 83 z28 with a built 350 in it, drove it to high school every day and never had any problems with the carb, until I bought a "responsible" car to drive daily. Some asshole rear ended it like a week after I did the conversion, yeah miss that car a lot.
Nice work! Love this build
Awesome I know you'll love the drivability
Amazing man, getting it running on a carb and then later on EFI. Let's hope EFI does the trick.
Great video Eric. Thanks for the detailed information. Great job
Can't wait for the tunning video and hyperspark video!
Awesome video can't wait to install mine now. No I can't wait till you do the hyperspark as I have one as well. keep up the good work sir.
Props to Holley for an excellent EFI kit. I always avoid pregnant spots at all cost. ;) Nice work!!
Sweet step by step video Eric Brother
Thank you for showing and describing how to have multiple sensors for gauges and for the efi, i was wondering about that.
He’s a fine Amish lad !
Nice Eric ! I would love to use the super sniper! Has some really cool features!! Looking forward to seeing it on the road 👍🏻
I'll be putting one of these on my friend's 1970 Buick GS with a nasty 455 build. We're excited to see the HyperSpark video since he'll be using that too.
I have seen others use the Super Sniper with great results.
How could you run these two big projects: dad's truck and Fairmont at the very same time ? That's unbelievable!
You are HERO
I'm also very tired. Thanks for noticing my efforts.
Nice install and set up. Thank you.
Looking forward to the next one!
Looks like it's going to be fun!
Glad it worked. I had one installed on my C10. Never ran right, send it back to holley two times costing me valuable time, after calling holley for the third time in which they wanted me to send it in again, I took the Damm thing off and installed a regular carb. Won't even look at another one----
Thank you for the awesome video. Good timing too, because i have been considering getting this system for my charger. I want something to keep the carburated appearance, and of course, so I can keep my original filter setup. This seems well worth the effort. Would love to see how it perform for you too as time goes on. Now all I have to do is measure how tall it is and see if it will be too tall for the ramcharger on the car. Keep up the great work. The work on your car has really paid off and came a long way!
Your engine bay looks really nice. Well done with your build Eric!
Thanks!
So far, so good.
Hopefully this will bring you what you wanted, now for the 'advanced' timing....(spark distribution)
That is super slick!! I was going to go blow through but I’m thinking this is the way to go! Thank you for this super helpful informative video I’ll be doing this set up on my s10 with twins
They work with super chargers
Beeeeen waiting for this all week!
Thank Eric might be a good add. to my400hp 79 cutlass with 455. Keep up the good work.
I think you'd be very happy.
nicely done. no mention of knock sensor. We just had a nasty truck/car accident near where I live. I70 hill coming down into denver from the mountains. All to often truckers overheat the brakes and have the truck run away.
It's gonna be pretty sweet!!!
Sounds good man!!
Keep coming to watch this as I’m installing mine with a twin turbo setup… thanks Erick
How did it go ?
Hey eric! Greetings from south-africa mate! Love this fairmont! POWAAA!!!
great video keep up the awesome content ERIC....
Great information and content. Thanks
Awesome video. Very interesting.
That's awesome you do really nice work sir
That looked fairly painless. Can't wait to see the car running down the street or on the dyno. You might get some better mileage as a side benefit as well. Cheers!!
I know a lot of people didn't like this project, but just wanted you to know I have enjoyed the project a lot, and have dreamed about making a sleeper myself. I would like to build a seventh generation Honda Accord with a V6. I currently own one but it has a K series 4 cylinder which is also an excellent engine for my ride sharing business. Anyway, keep up the good work!
Awesome video
love Snipper... So easy to install.. just make sure ignition is constant hot only issue ran great simple setup..
Neat crescent wrench
Hi Eric, just watched the latest engine masters and they tested the carb hats and direction of them in relation to air distribution / leaning out cylinders for boosted cars. I think you could benefit from placing at spacer on your hat and turning it fully forward. Seems to keep the distribution more even and less chance of a lean cylinder condition. Just my thoughts. Love the videos man! Always good stuff here.
The ever pleasing sound of the dizzy engaging cam gear...
Just ordered a Terminator x for my fox thanks for the good tips and good to know that I can leave the foxbody fuel pump and relay alone so it just just like stock
Great video
Thanks a ton for this video, I wasn't familiar with Eric the car guy until now and this video was enough to like subscribe and hit the bell...lol...I just purchased the regular version and two days later broke my back... literally, just had surgery, pins and screws and a cage.. anyways, I'm dying to finish the install...it looked pretty straight forward, I did choose to get the really nice shrinktube connectors as well, but man your never to old to learn and you gave me several aha moments so this video has me even more excited about finishing the installation...so far the only thing I have been a little disappointed about was simply the cost of the sniper air cleaner...and the cost of the bigger better control screen for the unit... replacement cost for what comes with it, whopping 3.5 in, is like 260 and for the small tablet size was 600 or so...geeze...Xmas wish list now... anyways, thanks a ton Eric! I should have this baby going by the weekend if everything goes well...I'm beyond excited about the fan control bcuz I was having some issues, I think the ground supplying sensor is bad, cuts on at 180, cuts off at 103 lol...dead battery at work a cpl times helped me to figure it out... excellent video, great information and tips...keep it up man, I'm an instant fan...and if it helps to get the living room looking more like a living room instead of parts Central I'm sure my wife will be a fan too! 🤣 I had the msd distributor already but did opt for the hyperspark distributor to make it easier...I've been thinking about a way to get live data of what the computer sees for tuning and tweeking on this obd1 setup...so to be able to see what's going on and tweek some as well on the fly is beyond exciting to me....
Youre the man, love your videos!
Thank you!
Oh my.
That was great.
I started howling!
what a great video!
"NOT TO SCALE" You know it's kind of amazing that they have to say this. Makes me feel a bit better about myself.
“my big one is going to the vacuum supply”
made me chuckle haha.
Erics got a new shirt? Looks good! Happy weekends everybody!
Available in 'Large'....'Larger'....and 'Larger still'...I need a 'Small'....are these 'Merch'??
I also installed the dual sync distributor, for those of you who are running a hei or other there is a kit you can install so the system controls timing. You can run it without but I suggest using the dual sync or install the kit. You want it to control timing to get the most out of it.
The chances of me undertaking something like this are slim. I'm a JDM guy , that being said this was incredibly enjoyable to watch. Looking forward to the drive / dyno video. Keep up the great work Eric from a very long time fan all the from Australia.
Thank you! BTW, one day I'll get to that GSR in the background. Perhaps that will help peak your interest.
@@ericthecarguy mate you could work on a lawnmower and I'd watch. But yes throw in a bit of imports every now and again. Also , really appreciate you taking the time to reply.
Was good information.
I bought the Holly sniper and installed it on my blow through pro charged 363 and had nothing but problems!!! I was hoping it would work and was disappointed!! Went back to blow through carburetor!! I hope you have better luck than I did.
What type of problems did you have? Was Holly any help with the issues? I ask as im thinking about one of these for my 305 SBC truck, not happy with the TBI
Smashing neat-n-tidy installation :-D
Getting the mapping correct will take time, but that interface looks very helpful.
It does need a bit of tweaking, but so far, so good. Nice to see you as always.
Hope someday buying the 2 barrel Sniper for my Dodge Omni as well my V6 D21
Great vid Eric :-)
Thank you.
This was great watching even though it is stuff out of my league - would have been more interested in my younger day when I still enjoyed playing around with vehicles. Your presentation was tops too - trust you enjoy your wheels after this.
It was very interesting, I decided I'm not going to get one for my SBC 283 :-)
Super good information as allways :D i hope you can do a coldstart and warm start and launch and driving :D
Nice vid
So glad you made these videos... I keep turning back to them for reference, your videos are great tools... where did you get that downtube wrap around blanket? I cant find anything like it anywhere, and my wrap on my downtube gets destroyed so quickly... thanks!!! Always great content!!!
Good to know about not connecting to the solenoid. I had planned on running my sniper power via directions anywho.
think thats the first time I seen Eric wear a t-shirt in years, instead of his circa '04 cutoff hoodie :)
Almost all thermostats have a little bypass hole to allow the thermostat to "read" the coolant temp so it opens properly. This will also give your sensor accurate readings.
You should install the return spring, backup is insurance. Learned this hot-rodding back in the 60s.
It's a good idea , I second this thru my own bad experience when I had to hook my foot behind the throttle pedal and pull it back after the linkage jammed open. Not afraid to say I shit my pants that day.
It would also make the accelerator pedal very hard to depress and over stress the already fragiled throttle cable that you saw in the video. Thanks for the comment.
@@ericthecarguy You need to find a better throttle cable. That old one looks bad. Not sure who makes the best ones nowadays.
The dash needs to be removed to replace it. I won't be doing that anytime soon.
Most tracks won't let you run without one. That's minimum tech, strapped down battery, throttle return spring. The day the springs get weak or the blade shafts are in a bind, you're going to have a bad day.
Good stuff, I'd simplify the tubes and wires under the hood, b/c on power tower you need it simple.
Also get a catch can other wise your rear main seal will pop after few pulls.
Honestly I haven't had any issues with the rear main, and I've had the engine out a couple of times since I put it in. The breathers on the valve cover work pretty good. I'm not running killer boost either. About 7psi.
now I need to go find the video of the fuel pump install, the sniper master kit I have as a fuel pump with it and I'm trying to get ideas for placement. Awesome video btw
My entire fuel system is custom. Sadly, I don't have video of the latest version yet. I'm still working through those edits. The cliff notes are, Moroso screen filter before the pump, then a fine, screw on oil filter style filter after the pump. Hard line from the secondary filter to the FI unit on both the delivery and return run along the left frame connector. -8 throughout. You should use -10 from the tank to the pump if you're doing big power to avoid cavitation. Fuel psi regulator goes on the return side. Good luck. Oh yea, I also put rubber washers under the mounting points for the fuel pump. Helps keep it a little quieter. Fuel pump is mounted just behind the rear bumper on the drivers side. It's activated by switching the ground side of a relay I mounted in a custom mount behind the passenger kick panel. The switch controls the ground of the relay.
I was gonna go with FiTech and use their Fuel command station which lets you use the mechanical pump
Another good reason to stagger splices, least likely for them to short to each other if it gets wet, easier to work on.
Eric if I took a vacation can I come wrench with you, our just hang out and hand you stuff? this is awesome!
it sounds mean i love it
Awesome, great video Eric. I'm super excited for you. Installation looks pretty easy, I'll probably try it one day if I don't shove an LS into whatever from projecting on.....LMAO butt hurt...
Nice
Yes, keep the Fairmont videos coming. Have enjoyed all the Fairmont project's work and history.
Will do. Thanks for the input.
Yesss
Probly won't even have to smell fuel when tuning. And what is this learn thing, with the wide band 02 is there any tuning. some good advice with the check for wide open throtle. and the other details in there like wire nuts to verify .then you can be sure about your harness installation. very well produced video thanks for sharing
