74 B210 Posted November 24, 2022 Report Share Posted November 24, 2022 Hello Ratsun! I am writing this thread to see if anybody got a Holley EFI Sniper kit 2300 to work on their Datsun its pricy but, when carburetors get impossible to find or get parts one day, this might be a good alternative. what are your thoughts???

datzenmike Posted November 24, 2022 Report Share Posted November 24, 2022 There's more. All mention the Holly Sniper EFI 2 Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 It might be a nice conversion. Simple and effective. 1 Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 I have seen a couple of these on different engines including a rotary, everyone seemed happy with the choice when I asked. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 Doubt it sounds like side drafts. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted November 26, 2022 Report Share Posted November 26, 2022 No, but I bet it starts right up on a cold morning lol 2 1 Quote Link to comment
Duncan Posted November 26, 2022 Report Share Posted November 26, 2022 (edited) I looked into it when it was first introduced a while back. I had an L20b in a 510, and I was a bit doubtful it might foul the hood. Never got any farther than that. I don't know close the truck hoods are to the stock carb setup, but it's worth checking it out carefully.. Edited November 26, 2022 by Duncan Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted November 26, 2022 Report Share Posted November 26, 2022 It took a while for these standalone EFI kits to get good. The early kits from FiTech and MSD were troublesome to say the least. 2 Quote Link to comment
74 B210 Posted November 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2022 Thanks Stoffregen Motorsports, I think that It would worth it and tunable. way easier than changing jets and messing with the stock carb or weber. its harder to find people to work on them. I will keep all updated on how it goes when I buy the kit. there is a guy who put one a good devil old willys jeep and it ran good, same horse power rating so I think it will work on mine. 1 Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted November 27, 2022 Report Share Posted November 27, 2022 I have seen many old stock vehicles with those kits. Model A Ford, on a Ford Maverick, early straight six Ford truck, Jeep 4cyl (as you mentioned). So yeah, not for horsepower, just simplicity. The TBI kits, like Howell sells, are reliable too, but you couldn't pay me to install a GM TBI on anything I own. 1 Quote Link to comment
Socalman Posted November 27, 2022 Report Share Posted November 27, 2022 This guy did, has all parts needed, I never did find a Weber manifold though. 1 Quote Link to comment
Crashtd420 Posted November 27, 2022 Report Share Posted November 27, 2022 My best guess this is the manifold he used... https://www.piercemanifolds.com/CANNON_MANIFOLD_99002_825_p/99002.825.htm Quote Link to comment
Crashtd420 Posted November 27, 2022 Report Share Posted November 27, 2022 These were a couple links for the adapter..... https://www.hedman.com/images/ePIM/original/carburetor-adapter-chart.pdf https://www.hedman.com/carb-adapters You'll have to check the dimensions for the correct one.... this should be the same as what's in the video....

Mattndew76 Posted November 27, 2022 Report Share Posted November 27, 2022 (edited) Avoid FiTech... I had massive issues with their customer service and tech. They wouldn't help me until started shit posting on their Instagram. They had flashed my unit with the wrong operating system model so I couldn't ever get it to run right and they kept blaming my installation. After 3 years of fighting they finally corrected my flash, but it was from the shit post campaign i was doing. Holley 2300 will work, and likely 100% better than Fi-Tech will. The intake manifold looks like a Cannon or Offenhauser. These units need a quality car battery and charging system too. If it dips below 12V your shit will not run.

datzenmike Posted November 27, 2022 Report Share Posted November 27, 2022 EFI is why those cars got the 100 amp alternators. If you have a 620 (38amp) you might want to upgrade for when stopped at a light with headlights, wiper and heater on. 3 Quote Link to comment
JumboFett Posted December 2, 2022 Report Share Posted December 2, 2022 Do y’all think the Holley efi could handle fueling a turbo boosted L20B? 1 Quote Link to comment
