Is it hardcore to build your own fuel injection??? (1 Viewer)

Looks nice.
Just one thing, I can't tell from the pics but are the LED leads sleeved? If not pull them off and add some insulation over the leads. SOP for that style of installation.

The LED lights mount into the ends of the metal box. They have little clips that hold them to the ends.

Still SOP to sleeve any thing with leads that long. The rule of thumb is if you can twist the leads so they short sleeve 'em.

But go ahead and try it out.

I'll listen to ya

You seem to know what you are talking about

Interesting project. I will have to keep this in mind if I ever do an exotic fuel injection setup.

The FETs at the ends definitely need an Al case as a heat-sink. Some components generate a lot of heat, especially if you screw something up. Get a nice case, you need some bling on that stubby 60.

FET's are very un-forgiving.

Bob is pure bling..


What are you saying???

I got a AL case from Frys. I just have to cut the holes in it for the plugs/lights and the bolts for the FET's..

If you were asking me, FETS are pretty easy to fry. They need proper heatsinking.
Be sure you use heat sink compound when you mount them to the case.

Got it, I found some ceamic?? Heat sink compound that is not glue. SUppose I git the right stuff?


The boys at Frys are not the greatest at helping..

 

[rusty_tlc]

I'm not familiar with that name. There are usually little tubes like the antisize compound comes in right near the CPU heat sinks. They are kind of like small ketchup packages. You don't need much, a layer as thick as a doubled piece of paper is fine.

Hows the adaptor coming?

What up with this, and when do we start seeing underhood components?

 

[Mace]

Probably this weekend. I have been wheelin the 40 and building the front yard up last weekend.

I think I can get some quality time under the hood this weekend tho

How to be super cheap..


So you want an O2 sensor bung but you are a super cheap bastard that does not want to pay $12.00 for one..


Go get yourself one of these for $3.97 ..

Cut the outside threads off and weld it on to the exhaust.. Bingo, you are in bizness

It is "Spark Plug Non-Fouler: HELP!®; 18mm Tapered Seat; 2 Per Package"

Available at any checker (or autozone I imagine)

Thanks John!!!

Please excuse me for coming in late. What is this going on? More to the point what is Bob?
