greybeard Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 Is anyone here running this? http://www.twminduction.com/ThrottleBody/ThrottleBody-FR.html Fuel injection Throttle bodies that bolt onto an SU manifold... One would still need the ECY, pump Etc. Thought this would be cool on the truck. they also have Throttle bodies to replace DCOE carbs... I have a friend with the DCOE setup on a 240Z, and it works well If your running FI on you 4 Cyl. L motor Plz. post up some pix! Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 Ill be building something similar out of an L6 SU mani I have laying around for a winter project to keep me busy Quote Link to comment
greybeard Posted November 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 ya, I just found the FI thread in the 510 section... stupid me, I was loooking in the Tech and engine sections... If the truck dosen't sell I was thinking about going FI and installing the T5 trans I have for it.. wanted to use the SU manifold and throttle bodies, or maybe something off a GM but I'm not sure yet. I had a couple of the L16e manifolds years ago and sold them on Ebay, if I remember, the runners where too small for my L24B. I like the cut down L28 manifold idea.:thumbup: Quote Link to comment
SublimeDatsun610 Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 you had to go and post this, i thought i was done spending money for a while.... <_< Quote Link to comment
benzo Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 I saw this a while back from TWM and thought it would be a great set up for datsuns converting over to fuel injection. definitely better cold staring and round the town fuel economy. Quote Link to comment

Unclejesse88 Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 The twm throttle bodies do look a lot nicer than the extrudabody ones. But for $1400? There is a picture somewhere on hybridz showing a guy that modified an SU to accept a TBI injector in the dome. Looked really clean. Quote Link to comment

IIRC that was Tony D theres a few people on Hybrid running variations of this set up Quote Link to comment

ggzilla Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Yep, that's Ford 289/302 manifold (5.0). Which ironically doesn't need a custom manifold as the stockers are individual runner EFI ... Quote Link to comment
Unclejesse88 Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Here is a link to a guy selling TBI adapters that bolt inside your SU carb. Very trick looking piece, and almost retains a stock look. http://www.pattonmachine.com/ Quote Link to comment

hang_510 Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 I'm not sure how well they work but these guys make a whole kit. i have (his)their 1st gen ITB set up. planned install on the LZ22 for the goon. GREYBEARD: next time you head south, lemme know if you want to see it. Quote Link to comment
Unclejesse88 Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Does anyone know what the actual model designation is for the factory SU? The 38mm 510 "SSS" SU is all I can ever find. I'm trying to find this information for the guy in the link I posted above, so he can make some of these tbi adapters for it. Thanks Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Does anyone know what the actual model designation is for the factory SU? The 38mm 510 "SSS" Yes, they are Hitachi HJL38W. They are not SUs, but are similar. Quote Link to comment

GREYBEARD: next time you head south, lemme know if you want to see it. Yep, I'd like to see it, and your L24B's also, don't get that way much in the truck anymore, but still do get down that way. if you get up this way, contact me. :) Quote Link to comment
