jr2 Posted December 19, 2022 Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 Please wait while image is uploading... Here is a fuel filter with replaceable fuel pressure regulator. Easy to adapt to most vehicles. Please wait while image is uploading... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
unclepete Posted December 19, 2022 Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 I have a Bahstuck manifold and have aquired Jenvey style throttle bodies, bearing in mind I have, in effect, 6 separate inlet manifolds, how do I rig up a connection to the fuel pressure regulator?

The fuelpressure regulator goes at the end of the fuel rail. Jenvey sells them too. Edited December 19, 2022 by JochemsTR Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It is the connection to the Vacuum take off I have having difficulty with? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’m also running an idle air control valve, starts just like a modern. You don’t even have to get in when it’s cold to start it. Hi Marki I seem to be having a problem getting an answer to a question about retro EFI on a TR6. As you seem to have the setup closest to how I envisage mine ending up, I thought you may be able to help. I have a US TR6 CC car with a high compression head and a TR6 CP cam which I am running on Triple 40dcoe's with a Bahstuck manifold. If I convert to EFI I would retain the Bahstuck Manifold and have aquired 3 Jenvey Throttle bodies. With a Fuel Pressure Regulator (all of which I have looked at have a Vacuum take off) which needs to be connected to the inlet manifold, somewhere near the injectors and after the throttle bodies? With the Bahstuck inlet manifold there is no inter connecting balance pipe, so I have, in effect, 6 individual inlet manifolds! Where on earth does the FPR vacuum pipe go???

I joined them all together in a little manifold then took off a connection to the FPR and the ECU. If you just use one port the vacuum signal is very poor.

No, not at all. The orifices are tiny. It’s the standard way of doing it. If you only use one runner you get vacuum as that cylinder induces and little/none for the rest of the cycle. It really hammers the regulator diaphragm and makes it very hard for the ecu to get a reliable reading too. Been there before! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FatJon Posted December 22, 2022 Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 Yes, sometimes it’s in the ECU sometimes in the engine bay and wired back to the ecu. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It has a one way valve so each “suck” lowers the vacuum but it does not fill back up when the vacuum stops until the next induction. This means the servo does not get hammered like the regulator does. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Schnippel Posted December 29, 2022 Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 Hello , with 6 individual flaps 280+ degrees camshaft and it is worth considering working with an air mass meter. The sharp camshafts provide far too little vacuum to regulate. The result is a signal that is very difficult to handle. Many greetings Ralph Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A friend of mine fitted Emerald EFI to a K series engine and it took about 18 months before all the gremlins were ironed out! To me his car was used a development car? Which was a surprise to me as the K series engine is a very common one to do! Bruce. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JochemsTR Posted January 7, 2023 Report Share Posted January 7, 2023 (edited) I am just done fitting an Ecumaster Black EFI System on a customer's car. Wenn engine is done, and the manifolds are modified, it takes me about 45 hours for Fuel, Ignition, Electrical, Wiring and routing of Wires. This is ofcourse without running and fine-tuning of the base-map. Edited January 7, 2023 by JochemsTR Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Andy Moltu Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 Slight deviation, but why would you fit Emerald injection to a K series engine when many would already have been injected? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Its price point is on part with other systems. here in germany , MS and Ecumaster are well available. My seller has both of them and advised on Ecumaster. Ecumaster is a professional device, superior to MS. Housing and connectors meet all IP and EMC requirements. Software is included with all its options and programmable safety features and easy to use. Feel free to compare the ECUs yourself. I am glad I followed his advise and happy ever since. This is my personal opinion. Nothing more, nothing less. I know there are lots out there being fully satisfied with MS and Emerald. I even had my test setup running with Speeduino. Does the job too. Like MS, these are DIY ECUs. When a customer wants MS, I install MS. When a customer asks for my recommendation, I recommend Ecumaster. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Interesting question. I converted an MG midget to k series power a few years back. You are correct it already runs efi as standard. You can use the Rover efi which is what I did. However there is limited scope for tuning. Others have converted to emerald which is pretty simple and gives you more scope to tweak. Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I suspect it is more user friendly when installing it in another car (MG Midget for example) ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
