Why two? One is good for 185 HP. The Ford V8s used a single "two barrel" CFI unit.

Here's what my engine looked like -- at the crossroads of old-tech and new-tech (1984):

I had a '84 police cruiser, and an '85 cruiser (these were the size of a Falcon). Like these:

These were basically a Mustang 4-door (same chassis, suspension, engines, etc).

Both had 165HP. The '85 LX had 185 HP. It was impressive power in 1983-1984, but by 1985 was getting dated. (1985 was the year of the 210 HP Mustang V8 with holley 4-barrel carburetor -- and the 205 HP Taurus SHO naturally apirated 3-liter V6).

Anyways, here's somebody put two CFI on one V8:

Just a thought but maybe CFI wouldnt need a destributor input because it doesnt really need to know injector firing order or timeing. Does any one recon converting this sytem to a a15 is possible

This guys engine is a mazda OHC running the carb throttle making 127hp at the wheels confirmed on popular dyno and had a datto 1200 with a worked a15 making 115hp at the wheels with the same setup.
It works but I think he used a microtech lt4 or something and Im more into making sure it works with a common junkyard computer.
Will keep you guys updated when he contacts me.

this looks like a great project for someone who is willing to give up a weekend and a bit of spare dough to see if it will work I was thinking earlier about a gas research carby with a turbo draw through set up but have no idea about what needs to be done to the head to prepare it for a gas only conversion.
Also is this CDI unit similar to the carby shaped injection set up on the Opel/Holden Barinas

Hmmm... Im thinking this coupled to an old Microtech D4s or D5 computer could be the ultimate low-budget EFI... I just happen to have a D4s (and a Haltech F9), but it's mapped for a 12AT...

I know my chances of getting it remapped ...

Good work on finding this!

What have you looked into as a replacement lower flow rate injector that will fit the bosses?
I think Cordia Throttle Body Injection is a setup worth looking at. Its a good size throttle body, has good sized injectors for an Aseries and is an allrounder suited to NA and Boosted applications with its high pressure injectors.
Maybe a bit harder to source than the ford stuff though, but I do think the injectors will be a problem with the ford setup especially with 2 on an Aseries.
How slow can you make Injector pulses so to try and make the injectors suit that way?
Low pressure fuel doesnt leave much scope for controling flow by pressure adjustment.

i think pulse width is used to control the fuel flow not the pressure in a standard EFI system. to modify the pulse width i would think you would have to mod the ECU. i didn't know so many cars had CFI

Do you think so? Obviously you dont understand what I wrote.
Both fuel pressure and injector pulse width are used to control fuel rate. Whats a fuel reg used for?
If you cant get lower flow rate injectors - you will have to control fuel delivery by other means. eg, change pulse widths on's and off's.
When you take a fuel system off a 4litre motor and use 2 of them on say a 1.5litre motor, I would think fuel supply would be in excess. So brings the question " how far do you think you can change the injector pulse widths to reduce the fuel supply?" Is it not a big ask to reduce fuel supply from that capable of supplying an 8 litre motor - to that of a 1.5 litre motor?
Reducing fuel pressure would greatly help reduce fuel flow - but since this system already used low pressure - it doesnt leave much scope for pressure reduction.

Thats just my thoughts. But Im just a windsurfer who goes with the breeze.
