EFI conversion vs FC upgrade
Hey, folks. Well, I am back from Japan, and thinkin about what I want to do with my car.
I got a FB (84 GSL)that is 95% converted to EFI. It will be done in a couple weeks after I get a surge tank ordered.
Thing is, I want to modify the FB with newer suspension, engine parts, repaint, etc, and make a real nice FB, but I figure, by the time I do, I can buy a TII FC, or a very decent NA. They are gettin cheap these days and I want something I don't have to test/tune for so many weeks until it is right. I dont have time anymore.
I am 90% sure I am going FC, and I can't keep both this time..So, I will be parting out the car and sellin the EFI stuff as a kit if anyone is interested...
Unless somebody has a good argument as to why I should keep it.. heh

I wanna keep the FB, but a FC is an upgrade in a sense for that it will take less to keep it in good shape. At least for now, and compared to how my FB is at the moment.
So far as my project goes, it is a custom mani, with a weber style TB, ford EFI pump, ~31lb injectors, carter low pressure pump, megasquirt ecu with relay board, GM sensors for intake air temp and water temp, and wiring. That's the jist anyways.
Actually, I am going out to jorx81's shop to work on it tomorrow, so I'll take some pics.. Maybe a video of it running, we'll see.

it doesnt take weeks to test/tune. Me and GTO rx7 tuned my NA 12a in 2 nights after work, and my turbo 12a in 3-4 nights, and he self tuned his in a week (only on his way to work, never did anything after work). Since you are already 90% done, finish it out! EFI rocks in a FB!

Ooops, sorry folks, jorx81 was usin my comp and forgot to logout, so I answered under his name. Sorry 'bout that.
Anyways.. If it was a good runnin FB that JUST had this FI conversion I would keep it, no problem, but it has some other issues that I am getting tired of dealing with.
I am lookin to get $750 out of my EFI setup. Includes the tweakit surge tank I haven't gotten yet.
