 Posted: Sun May 13, 2007 4:35 am Post subject: EFI project I (building throttle mount to intake) (pictures) |
 |
|
When i bought my 924 it does not starts. Some guy tries to convert it carb. But he can not. So at this point, i have two choise,
1st - try carb one more time,
2nd - EFI
I selected EFI. I will put in to MSII. So i have to do something about throttle. First of all i pullout everything about fuel system under the hood. Then I started to build a mount for my 65mm ford throttle.
TPS is under the throttle. Cables are so far away from block.
I attached a mount for throttle cable.
This is my fist EFI project. Actually this is my first mechanic experience. I hope it will works  .
Sorry for my bad english.  |

Nicely done!
But I noticed pretty big opening inside the TB that is for idle valve, but if you won't connect the original one, you should close this hole, otherwise you'll end up with very high idle.
Or did you make the adapter so that it shuts it?

Hi Merruse,
Really nice job there. Looking forward to seeing more of it soon.
Cheers, Bruce.

First of all, thanks everyone for encourage comments.

Yes it is for idle valve. But I already closed that on flange. I am planning to use oem 924 idle valve. |

Very nice work. Did you do the welding yourself? They look beautiful.
Keep us updated.

My friend (who seens on pictures. He is fabricating the small boats on him workshop) cuted aluminium parts (plate and pipe), i measured and weld.
Actually this is my first time to use argon welding. But i see that, it is really similar with soldering. I am electronic engineer on "design and developement" department . So i have soldering experience.
thanks. |

Merruse, thats a nice bit of work from a metal fabricator but considering you wrote | Quote: | | Actually this is my first mechanic experience |
its BLOODY BRILLIANT MATE! (pardon the aussie lingo)
It`s a big leap from changing your own sparkplugs. An engineering background in electronics obviously helps. I can fully understand why youre going EFI and specifically MS.
Since i`m going down the same road at the moment I`m curious as to why you decided to drastically modify the manifold in preference to easier options like fitting TPS on stock TB or the audi TB, or a simple adaptor if not a 931S2 manifold?
Please understand Im not being critical. I see that a lot of members here go to great lengths(at least for me) fabricating manifolds and am unsure of the benefits. I for one would really like to hear from those that have done it and see any quantitive evidence of performance improvement.
May your EFI project be successful Merruse and look forward to hearing more.
Cheers, Roger |

If your using a rail like endwrenchs, you'll quickly find there isn't a whole lot of room between the throttlebody and the rail in a stock setup. Moving the throttle likes this allows you to use readily availible throttlebodies in various sizing, and makes it so your not crowding your fuel rail.

There are many benifits to making your own complete manifold. First, you can change were the fuel injectors are spraying, and the angle. This will make tuning easier becuase you won't have to worry about fuel pooling and doing weird stuff which can effect your throttle tipin and your acceleration enrichment. If your building a complete manifold, there is proven flow increases to be had from doing something as simple as installing velocity stacks (proven 15-25 percent flow increases) It also allows you to change the size of your plenum for your application, and perhaps tune your runner length as well(in a turbo application you want a slightly larger plenum so that it acts as a 'surge' tank and suppresses pulsation in the intake system). There are also people who believe the head on the 924 may not be the entire problem with the 'restrictive head' people keep talking about, its quite possible its more of a 'restrictive intake system' thats cuasing the problem. If thats the case, simple replacing the manifold with one that has velocity stacks built in and porting the head to match would resolve this issue. It also gives you the chance to texture your entire intake system however you like (inducing turbulence or whatever) If your really into it this would also be the perfect oppurtunity to install individual throttle bodies which are supposed to improve throttle response. Lots of improvements to be had, if your interested in searching for it.

If that were true, people would be getting a lot more out of Weber setups.

If you are planning to use MSEFI, you can not put TPS to oem 924 throtlle because of there is two different sized throttle on body. Amount of air get in to the engine is not lineer on double throttled intake systems. If you investigate TB of 924, you see that clearly.. First time small throttle openning, after half gas openning big throttle. So if you are planning to put an EFI system, you may be crazy when you configuring mappings. Actually if you are using an airflow sensor for measuring to air amount, theoretically you may use TPS with oem throttle. But it is useless. Double throttle systems design objective ise increasing fuel economy. You may adjust it with ECU mappings basicly.. Especially if you have a wideband O2 sensor. So i don't want to be a crazy for adjusting mappings.
If you can not measure amount of air, (MSEFI does not support to measuring air flow) you have to control it mechanicly. As much lineer, as much easier.
But i have to add that, when you use single throttle on intake, you loss torque impress little bit because of linearity. At the double throttle systems, when the second opened you feel that effectively. |

Seen dyno sheets from a weber carbed motor? ... seen the AFR through the rpm range? .... ........ didn't think so. AFR is integral to how much power you make, even .5 afr can make a -huge- difference in how the car runs. I wouldn't trust a carb to give accurate AFR period. Oh and don't forget the guy claiming 150 whp with bike carbs.

Yes it does. MSEFI has supported MAF for quite a long time actually. MAF is how the guys running one cylinder jetski's and ATV's n'such get their setups running on MSEFI.

This isn't true. I have a TPS adapted to a stock TB and it works perfectly with NO ill effects. The TPS really only plays a role in AE. The MAP does all the real work as far as engine load versus fuel is concerned.

Actually on speed-density systems TPS is used for acceleration enrichment. You DON'T want to use Alpha-N on street car, it get's you worse driveability and gas mileage than speed-density.
And it doesn't matter what shape or mechanism is the TB, 924 TB is fine.
EDIT: Todd got it first
