A14 Mild street performance build

[sick620]

@ggzillaCan you please give me a step by step on how you did a crank fired igntion on your a12? I tried to message you but does not work. I want to run my a12 cam in my a14 but is not going to spin my distributor. I read that you were able to make a setup for $125 years ago, I would love to recreate it. My research has came up with this. I need ford edis4 setup from like an escort at the junkyard, should run without megajolt, but need megajolt to make power and have it run good right? Megajolt is $300 makes me wonder if its smarter to get megasquirt or something in case I want to run some dcoe throttlebodies and make it fuel injected.

Edit: Ok. there is one on page 2.

So this started as me just wanting advice on a cheap easy way to get a few extra horsepower out of a A14, this has snowballed quite a bit. 

I am pretty sure I am going to do a crank trigger ignition from a ford, it is not that much more expense than finding a matchbox dizzy, there is an easy to understand how to on the 1200wiki, and I can't run a matchbox dizzy with this A12 cam in my A14 block anyways. Since I am doing this type ignition I have decided that I might as well get megasquirt so I can go some sort of EFI. Since I have this dcoe intake now I think I am going to run these style throttlebodies.. 

 

 

$500-$600 on ebay. then with a microsquirt it would not be too much more expensive than 2 real weber dcoe carbs. I will be able to program 2 step, rev limiter, shift light etc on a A series. So should be pretty cool in this little high rev motor. Also this allows me to possibly in the future have a plenum made to attach to the throttle bodies and run a small turbo J piped off the header. My only concern is how good these cheap chinese throttle bodies are, no good how to anywhere or detailed reviews.

Check this place out.... priced are similar,  not sure about the conversion rate....

As far as I know they are really good quality.... they have a couple different length throttle bodies and the have a heritage line which are pricey but look exactly like a real weber but with efi internals....

TWM or Borla throttle bodies are less expensive, but the look custom. I like that Jenvey modeled them after a DCOE. Too bad they didn't copy a Solex/Mikuni instead.

Thanks this is exactly what I was needing a more quality part. I will get one of these setups.
