Another EFI IDA 'Weber' thread...!

[Jasper]

Hi Stephen, lovely to see your thread here. Your setup looks amazing and you are definily moving a lot faster then me. My project is indeed literally 'shelved' but not cancelled.. Been working on my Backdraft Cobra (without IDA's) to get it road legal for a few years, emigrated countries, started a new job etc.. But you've inspired me to get it back up, and make this a priority next winter. It'll go on my CAV GT40 though

All finished and tuned now.

I put my engine as far back as I could get it with the old carb on, so I had to do some cutting to get the filters to fit!

The ECU is alive!

Now set the crank and cam sensors in the fancy distributor

Well these HT’s are as tight as they could be!

Since there’s sensor inputs may as well used them.

Nothing is fun on a Sunday like taking an angle grinder to your bonnet.

Todays job - Mapping.

Never done an Alpha N tune before.

Far left screen - Terminators self generated VE map.

Centre screen - Old map from the Holley Sniper

Far right screen - New map using Alpha N

What’s impressive was how close the Terminatirs self generated maps was to my old one.

Now the fun of working out where all my fuel flows should go on an Alpha N map.

Things like idle and cruise will all be in the bottom rows, then it’s a case of filling in the WOT fuel and joining the dots.

The last photo is the old Sniper map flipped back to VE so you can see where idle and cruise was affecting the map.

So the little idle block needs transposing to the 1-2% TPS line on the Alpha N map and the lean cruise area needs to side in the 3-9% throttle area of the new map.


Since this all hurt my brain after a while, I had a break and did an alignment with my DIY string kit

All in spec, which is impressive since I eyeballed the re fitting of the rear end.



Oh you are beautiful. So happy with it.

Its all up and running now, tuning though came to an abrupt end, when I'd forgotten to put any fuel in it....

Jim,

The only ones I have room for are the small mesh ones, which from a flow point of view are terrible, but a guess far better than ingesting a foreign body through them!

Stephen, all I can say after going through your post is... Dayum!

Does Mr Plod not get upset with the sharp edges on your quick lift, or do you put on when at shows ect ?
