i have been wanting to try out fuel injection one these for some time, this car is wasting fuel via evapouration to a tremendous degree in stop start traffic ,but reasonable when at speed
So i decided to invest in some lucas 'L' efi ,these are known for being reasonably tuneable and capable of decent performance and economy when setup nicely
the xpack capri carb wasnt really giving much feeling in the throttle response,higher revrange or fuel economy stakes
I was getting up to 30mpg via it,but only if you kept the momentum up
so now it runs via vintage lucas 'L' efi which has been very hard to find quickly but a worthy improvement over carbs
i bought the above components from a breaker for 100 quid, note the incorect afm thrown in the box and the usual chopped wiring carry on that breakers usually do
a week later I found a full system minus afm for 30 on ebay which negated the point of the above system.
I then jet washed the alloy bits and painted them black
it initially ran on 5 then after 30mins settled on 7 ,swapping the ecu made no difference so after locating the dead cylinder by touching the exhaust manifold and feeling for changes in temp ,,i found it on the first branch which was warm,,,next one felt abit like recieving a knife into the finger heat wise which proved that method to work,,but not be practical or safe
swaping the injector in seen it running on 8
this system along with the ported heads and twin pipe exhaust have released some very strong performance particularly from 4000 onwards and added torque all over the shop
