KugaWestie Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 Tonight I completed the front half of the fuel lines. I decided to alter to copper pipes and remove them from the passenger footwell bulkhead where I had originally positioned them and shorten them so they stop inside the tunnel area. A bit neater and plenty of room for them. What a ballacher of a job it was, took ages! Still it is done now including the flexible lines up to the inlet manifold. You can see where I have made good the fixing holes on the bulkhead in this first picture, and if you look down the tunnel you can just see them in their new position In the tunnel. I also fitted a breather valve to the fuel tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KugaWestie Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 So with the fuel lines complete it was time to bring out the injection system. So here it is plumbed in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrustyjust Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 400 hp Gary ? Thats one hell of a Rover V8 Did you swage the end of the fuel pipes to grip the rubber hoses ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the max power it can cope with, plenty Yep, I flared the hoses, that involved swearing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsechris Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 That's a tidy solution. Couldn't ask for a much simpler EFI conversion than that! Are you able to use the timing-controlled setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cutler (Adge) - Dorset AO Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 That's quite a piece of kit to "pour" fuel into your engine Gary! Just googled it, very impressive, not silly money either IMHO. Being nosey, what does the handheld controller do, notice it comes with a windscreen mount? Sorry shouldn't be distracting you with banal questions Keep up the good work, impressed with your dedication, working in the garage these temperatures!p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you able to use the timing-controlled setup? Yes very neat and maintains a 4 barrel carb look. It is a self learning system so in theory yes a timing controlled set up should still work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep up the good work, impressed with your dedication, working in the garage these temperatures! The ECU for the system is built into the injection system mounted on the manifold. The handheld controller plugs into the system to programme the ECU The windscreen mount is designed to mount the controller in the car so you can monitor/tweak/change settings on the ECU whilst the car is running/moving Regarding the garage, remember way back at the start I built it and insulated it well. 10 mins of running a pair of 2kw fan heaters brings the temp up north of 15 degrees C, nice and cosy. The heaters then run on their thermostats cutting on and off to maintain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsechris Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I had a quick read of the manual - looks like a good set of options for how you configure it, depending on what other parts you have already or want to use. Neat. As @AdgeC says, good value too, considering you get throttle body, injectors, IACV, lambda, MAP sensor, CTS & IAT sensor and ECU with 'programming box'.

Neat. Yes I think it should be a great bit of kit as long as it is set up well. I bought it after Autosport in 2018, it's been in the store for almost exactly 12 months!
