Re: [DML] EFI Conversion Kit



That is what Owen is trying to make -- a standardized kit of identical EFI parts that can share fuel maps. Unfortunately it isn't working between the two test cars he's installed it on.

Short of providing a kit, a Bill of Materials would do but then you give the person the chance to substitute or change things. Production cars are close enough so it all works and the software has some adjustablity to compensate for the minor variations in each motor. If you are trying to find reasons for people to NOT convert to EFI, many of them apply to changing to a carburetor. For all of the effort a properly done conversion will take, IMHO it is easier to try to fix the K-Jet and get it running right. As for downloading a fuel map, I am sure one could be created that is wide enough to get you running and then each individual could fine-tune it (or not). EFI keeps improving all time. I am sure eventually this could become more automated and easier to do. In the meantime the K-Jet has been optimized to work well on the Delorean (when it is working right).
