The injectors. I'm not so sure the mechanical injection will work right for this. I'm also not so sure why he went through all the trouble and complexity to adapt them to the turbo rotary. Aftermarket ECUs are so cheap nowdays, tuning is easier than dealing with an old mechanical injection.

I look forward to seeing it run though.

The K sistem ueses 4 injector lines and nozzles, with two systems there are 8 lines which give two lines for each intake runner, so four nozzle @ cly. And why the K system, well that's becouse it was cheap 200$ for both set including the pumps, and at the time this was all there realy was to use, 15 years ago when I started to put this to gether. It works GREAT, the car has never run better even since new, got the car in 78 with 32k on it. The car can sit for months, rech in turn the key and it starts rite up, only problem is when full boost kicks in needs, more fuel. You may have noticed the ele fuel nozzles, this is the aux fuel kick in I'm still working on

Info

Some of you guys out there have wondered why I'm doing it this. Long story short, MONEY. When I got devored didn't have a dime to my name and didn't have one for a long time. Until child support was over some 15 years later. And at the time the K system was still commin and cheap, every thing about this project is low cost, Was readen about the guy who went to Mazda & More and ended up spending 19k$. I never had that kind of money or will never have it just to put in to a car. The one thing I do have is time and lots of it along with the know how. The know how took some time like 30+ years. So 99% of what you see is a one off hand built item. I have a road map in my mine of where I want to take this and I'll be posting a lot more pics of where I have been with pics of where i'll begoing.

It looks like '76 Cosmo on the left and GSL-SE on the right. Neither of them came from a nitrided R5, that's for sure.
