    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

What about Fuel Injection?

I have some opinions about it but whats yours? give your reasoning too..
Some situations are different but have not found much on this. If it is reasonably feasible, not too pricey, and reliable??
 
Microsquirt from Bogoflex can be had for under $400, then you just need a couple sensors, injectors, fuel rail and the manifold and throttle body(s) to finish things off.

It is something that I am considering for a future modification on my bike. Stage 3 carbs are nice, but I have injectors that can safely fuel over 200 HP sitting next to the TB from a 2 litre Audi I junked a few years ago. I've done Megasquirt on cars and it was relatively painless, I assume the technical bits are similar enough for motorcycle applications.

Assuming you can sort out the manifold and fuel rail issues, and that the cost of the rest of the system isn't a budget-breaker, I think that FI would be a more reliable method of making the bike start quicker under all conditions and you can definitely get better fuel economy out of an electronically controlled fueling system compared to the old mechanical flow method our bikes came with.
 
I've done a few FI conversions in the past. I even have a turbo 240Z using a Haltech E6K programmable computer at the house. It's very doable, reliable and can yield better performance, but be ready for a huge learning curve when it comes time to tune it. A wideband O2 meter is pretty much required equipment. I built my own O2 meter from a kit imported from Oz. Worked pretty well and ended up putting down 386HP and 402ft/lbs of torque from a 1982 2.8L engine.

Now the thought of a FI turbo 1150 sure would make my heart beat faster.:eek:

A fairly typical first shot at 'squirting in that thread, especially the frustration level and chasing a rabbit down a hole.
