Thread: EFI Options

Tweet

Long time lurker here, and since I've recently waded into the EFI pool for the first time I thought I'd weigh in here (if that's ok)-

There are many good EFI systems out there (FAST, MOTEC ($$$), Big Stuff and Holley come to mind)-

I was originally going to go w/FAST, but I have a BBC (540) that I wanted an induction system that would make a statement and give me good driveability, so, I went with the Hilborn and the Holley Dominator EFI-why?

The Dominator offers the ability to control an electronically shifted automatic-I have a 4L80E in my Car (if Jake's Performance ever finishes it), and, it has the fastest processor out there right now.

I would tend to agree that sequential is better (which most all of them can do), but for most a batch fire would work very well also. I think it really depends on how much control you want with your engine-do you want to control Spark? DIS? Trans? Nitrous? Do you want drive-by-wire? Data aquisition? Are you running a Turbo? Water injection? Would you like to be able to store more than one tune?

All of this and more are available now-I went with the DIS option (distributorless Ignition System and sequential injection, which necessitated running a Cam Synch on top of a Crank Sensor)-

When you open the Box and see everything that comes with it, it's a bit overwhelming, but as you go through it's pretty cool too-it's kind of like when this Internet thing came out-I was intimidated at first, but then my inner 5 Year old came out and it got better-

Go ahead, wade in there with me (we can drown together)-just think-one day you could walk out to your Car without getting in, reach in and turn the key only to hear that sweet music, and stand there revelling in the fact that you did it yourself-if someone had told me you could do this 20 Years ago, I would tell them that they were nuts-here is a picture of my engine fresh off of the Dyno-
