I saw this pic and had to post to ask if anyone has done it to an A series?
looks so good and cleaner than efi, not as efficient but imagine e85!

Chan's 1200 has mechanical injection

The "Mystery Motor" was mechanical injection

Speedway motors run MI

i been running it for years on methonal race engines,i've got a few setups.pics going to dyno day

Right said Fred!

that is sexier than any other induction full of cables and headaches

Yes, MI is simple and uncluttered. It has a stark mechanical beauty as well.

But what headaches? My 1994 Mazda with EFI has 157,000 miles on it and never had a single problem with the fuel system. Our Subaru did have cam position sensor start to go bad but it was easy to diagnose and easy to fix. My fords have had problems with EFI, but again easy to diagnose, the onboard diagnostic even identified the bad part. I had another Ford injector leak, but that was obvious and only cost $20 to fix. These problems only occured after 10 years and 100,000+ miles. I would call that very reliable.

Some of the factory backed TS CUP B110 sunny's ran mech inj. The control was based on the BMW kugelfischer injection setup. I missed out on one of these manifolds a couple of years ago on ebay. It ended up going to Portugal

Yes,Chan has the Advan replica 1200 including nissan works injection and the AY12 had it too. It works well for full-throttle power.

Typical racing mechnical injection is often called a "controlled fuel leak". Not too many drive it on the street. The 1957-1967 chevrolets had a street version of mechanical fuel injection and made incredible power, but was not any simpler than a carburetor.

In order to get it to do well at idle, off idle, part throttle, full throttle and all points in between and still get decent fuel economy takes complexity. Some say the SU-type carburetor is the simplest of all.

There was one of those Nissan works flat-slides on Yahoo last week for $100. It wasn't the whole setup, just the four-port throttle slide with the intake bells.

Many long years ago I owned a few Triumph sedans which had Lucas mechanical injection. They were smooth and powerful (for the 70's, that is), but not especially economical. Compared to an HT Holden, smoother, more powerful and no more economical. Compared to a modern 2.5 litre 6 cylinder electronic injection motor you would say: not very smooth, not very powerful and a fuel guzzler.

In 1976 I worked for a guy that adapted the Lucas injection off a Triumph onto a 2.4 Jaguar engine and transformed the performance (mind you the Jag motor originally came with 2 x single throat downdraft stromber type carbies).

Mechanical injection is much simpler than electronic, and less effective. It did look good though! Ah, those were the days

There is a setup for sale on TradeMe periodically. He wants $1500 NZD for it so probably why it hasn't sold yet..
