FITech TBI

[rumrumm]

Anyone using or know of a rodder using this TBI conversion? I have read reviews that are positive but would like to get some info from someone that is running it on his/her car.

I've seen some posts where it's been installed but no everyday use yet. One of the people had trouble and stated that their tech help was very good.

This one is new to me, but there's surely a need for it and the price is right.

I may wind up being the guinea pig on this one.

I've been looking at it trying to gather as much information on it as possible.  Seems there's not much out there yet. The unit looks good and with their  fuel pump remote reservoir you don't have to pull the tank down for retro-fit of an in tank pump
Just like you Rumrumm I'd like a first hand review.

If this pans out as promised it sounds like a bargain.  Description wise it sounds like functionally the same as the MSD Atomic system I put on the '36 roadster...................but for about 1/2 of list price!  Gotta love competition in the marketplace....

Here's a bit of advertorial content about the system. It looks good and it seems to me that $2500 plus another $400 for an MSD box is a lot of money to spend for technology that's come in every new car for 30 years regardless of price.  http://www.streetlegaltv.com/efi/the-inside-scoop-on-fuel-injection-technologys-efi-4-and-efi-8-kits/

Here's a thread with a couple of guys who have it running...they seem to like it. http://forums.vintage-mustang.com/vintage-mustang-forum/887794-fi-tech-efi.html

This one is on a Corvette. similar stuff to the Mustang guys, but the OP put in a lot more detail and has more miles on his car.  http://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/c3-tech-performance/3670852-fitech-go-efi-review.html

Thanks Jaybee,
Well, that pretty much closes the deal for me.  I'm going to call and order the unit and pump...wish me luck

Keep us apprised, Rochie, as I will be taking the plunge in another month or so.

Very interesting.
I just sent requested information about using methanol in one. Their site says it will work on E85 at a reduced level. I expect that is due to the larger fuel flow needed.
If these work as advertised the big companies will surely try to buy them out.

I like the spray pattern it makes . Seems like it would atomise the fuel well .

I just put up a post about the Holley Hydramat combination fuel sock/reservoir. Looks like it ought to be a good product to help with retrofits as well. That leaves deciding what sort of fuel pump, filter, and regulator to use and you're well on your way.

I don't know what fuel pressure this system uses, but it sounds like it's the 60psi that's more or less the industry norm. If that's the case LS retrofits often use the Corvette integrated filter/regulator.

As I expected their response was, "Sorry, it won't work with methanol."
