lee Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 Anyone fitted this system to their 6? I wondered what you used as fuel pumps and swirl pots and any info or experience you had with it I fiitted a Jenvey system to my 260Z and although running sweet now we did have a few moments Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest ntc Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 (edited) Hi Lee i use a facet red top pump.No swirl pot Roy proper inlet manifold that one Edited October 16, 2017 by ntc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TriumphV8 Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 Is it correct to say -1 ??? :-) These carbs have neither venturis nor other things before the plates. So they are EFI bodies and from that can not be feed with the facet. I would give them the smallest BOSCH pump and use the PI filter as a swirl pot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TRTOM2498PI Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 Hi Lee, I use Jenvey throttle bodies with a regular TR6 PI fuel tank and Bosch fuel pump, often seen on a regular Lucas PI TR5/6. No swirl pot. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
foster461 Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 I'm confused. Are they not DCOE's ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

foster461 Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 Not Webers Stan look for the choke tubes I see there are no chokes as we would see on a Weber and we are looking at the butterflies. So these are Weber-like bodies but with injectors buried in there somewhere ? Stan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sort of like Burlen's recently-announced conversion to fuel injection inside what looks like the dome of an SU carburettor, I guess? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes and one of your countrymen has done a similar thing with Strombergs. Start. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lee Posted October 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 Thanks I should have said that I have a US non PI car, not sure how the tank might be different??? Yes, they're throttle bodies made to mimick Webers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Very nice system, can be totally hidden inside the Strombergs or leave the tops off to expose the innards. http://www.pattonmachine.com/TBI-Components.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, they're throttle bodies made to mimick Webers. The main thing we are missing is the fuel return back to the tank. That needs to be added when converting a US spec car to the Lucas PI system anyway. Stan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That needs to be added when converting a US spec car to the Lucas PI system anyway. Stan Not really Stan, I'm using an original fuel tank for US- market for EFI, and it works perfectly: standard small output on the bottom of tank via carburetor-type pre-filter into pre-pump (Hüco), that was previously used, when the car was Webered pre-pump into swirl-pot big output on swirl-pot into Bosch HP pump (the smallest one I could find with more than 100l/min) and more than 4 bar) into HP filter to the fuel-rail back via second fuel pipe to the swirl-pot swirl-pot overflow to the "breathing stub" on top of the fuel tank, which exits the big pipe where you fill the fuel into the tank. this "breather stub" was before just fitted with a piece of fuel hose that was hanging out of one of the holes in the deck floor. It appeared useless to me as the fuel cap is vented Patrick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
