paul,
i am building a 93 special turboed engine with a special plenum intake and in
doing so i would like to locate the fuel injection nozzles entirely on the
intake runners. at present as you well know the primary nozzles are located
on the rotor housings and i am wondering if their re-location to the intake
runner would cause a degredation in performance. i have a 74 that was
non-fuel injected and it has no such locations obviously and performed quite
well. i was wondering if the location of the fuel injection nozzles was
critical. i also noted that you worked for jim hall on the suction cars and
was wondering if i could talk to you off-line about the same.
jim dana.
They are in the rotor for throttle response reasons. There is evidence you
will get better BSFC with the injectors further out on the intake runners.
No problem.
