Retrofit TBI to MGB

[Greg Hermann]

>Hi all, I have decided to take up a project to install fuel injection in
>my MGB.  It has a 1.8L, in-line four cylinder with siamesed intake for
>cylinders 1,2 and 3,4.  I have done a small amount of study and have
>concluded that a throttle body injection system would be the easiest to
>implement.
>
>Basically, I'm looking for advice about conversion.  Am I crazy to try to
>take on such a project?
>
>I am considering air flow flap vs. MAP sensor.  Any comments?  I realize
>that the air flow valve can restrict flow, but we are talking about an
>engine that is only 95 HP or so, not a fire-breathing behemoth.
>I am looking for an existing fuel injection system from a more modern auto
>with a similar sized displacement and HP.  If I just use a fuel injection
>system, with regular mechanical distributor, would I need to consider any
>other factors?
>
>I'm hoping that I can find a system from a Ford, GM, or European auto with
>Bosch system.  Can anyone recommend systems to consider or avoid?
>
>Lastly, what literature would you guys recommend I get.  I'm a civil
>engineer by schooling, but I can understand some electronics.  My goal, if
>I can get a system to work, would be to eventually work on a system which
>would allow tuning of the computer.  Therefore, I'd like a book that is
>thorough in basic theory, but also covers the workings of the computers.
>Is there such an all-encompassing book?

>Thanks for your time
