Question 12a idle/porting questions...

Hi AGAIN guys.

Some questions will seem stupid, others will be stupid. Please keep reading.

The setup Im going for

12a
RB porting templates
13b-rew intake manifold and TB with an adapter
Megasquirt ECU
Staged injection

Please keep in mind I´ve got separate intakes for primary and secondary ports

Im going with a "mirror" finish from the TB to the injectors, then, a more rough one, for turbulance and atomization purpose.

Will try to route all vacuum signals to the primary intake runner.

IF I go with the same size of port on all 4 ports ... what kind of idle will I get?
Will my idle be more affected by exhaust port than intake port?
How much will performance suffer if I only port the secondary ports?

I already have a turbo car with a clutch from hell, and Im trying to get a decent power for my "semi-daily" driver 7.

All input is welcome. I´ve been reading A LOT here and over at nopistons... but I still have this questions. I wasnt unable to read something like "I did that and my car idles at 750" or "I did that and got XXXwhp"

I would love to see your FI 12a. Pleas post your findings. I have been kicking around the same idea. What adaptor are you using to use the rew intake? Is it something custom? Are you planning on turboing as well? If I did it it would be NA.

Buena suerte!

Hi there.

I will use the LIM secondary injector bungs with a custom aluminum fuel rail and will place the primary injectors on the adaptor plate. Down here those adaptors can be made for really cheap

I wont go the turbo route.

I will even let my old dist handle the spark... at least for now. Once I get the fuel part running the way I want I might get a CAS and run spark on the megasquirt.

My setup is very similar to norton's, except its painted in VHT aluminuim.

Megasquirt
TII cas,coils,turbo,waterpump,intake manifold

I have 12a tallport plates with have been "turbo ported", my engine is 1.5 years old and made 114.7 with a terrible intake restriction. I plan on making 230+rwhp 2000rpm earlier.

Whoa, so you guys are using the 13B FI manifold on the 12A? If so, very cool.
