FW: Electramotive TEC II Fuel Injection - HELP !!!! & me/mine/mods

[Atkinson, David]

Hi guys (and gals).  I'm using the TEC II right now on a daily driver   
454.  Nothing radical on/in the engine, just a street truck.  I've had   
great results with this unit - it is easily tunable and the performance   
is good.

You can set it up for batch or phased sequential injection, it uses a   
Motronic (60-2) crank-mounted trigger, and is well made.  The only issue   
you may have is that the spark is generated by individual coil packs (one   
coil for 2 companion cylinders on a V-8 engine).  For a street engine   
with a mild cam this is quite acceptable, but if you have a radical cam   
with a lot of overlap you may run into some trouble.  I'm not sure what   
effect the waste spark (on the exhaust stroke of the companion cyliner)   
would have in this situation, if any.  Of course if this is a 4-cylinder   
engine then this is of no concern to you!  (I have no idea what a 3S-GE   
engine is).

$470 is a killer deal - I'm sure you could sell it for that much if you   
didn't like it.  Give it a try!

BTW, their WWW site is:  www.electromotive-inc.com

Hope this helps!

 Dave

Hi everyone,
In Australia (Oz), we know little about Electramotive FI (except that the   
Factory Racing Nissans used it), and I am building a race car that I need   
an EFI system for.  There is a guy selling a TEC II system that is   
complete except for harness and injectors, the system is new, for ~ AUS   
$700 (US $470).

Any ideas/hints/tips with this system, is it good ?, what is the approx   
price in USA ?, and does Electramotive have a web site ?

All help will be appreciated.

Also, here is a list of my project details (the car will be used for   
circuit racing)

 Body -  1977 RA-28 Liftback
 Engine : 3S-GE, retro fitted with turbo pistons, rod bolts and flywheel   
bolts
Turbo : Garrett T0-4, A/R - 0.60, unknown ex. Trim at the moment (Class   
rules dictate the fitment of a 36mm restrictor within 50 mm of the   
compressor blades.  SHIT !!!!!!)
 Intercooler : Ex Nissan DR30 Group A Skyline (core is 17" x 21" x 3"   
thick)
 Gearbox : W55 Supra
Diff : Currently measuring up a post '86 Tarago (same 7.5" centre as   
Hilux 4WD but with 4 stud axles and same mounting method as Celica)
Rear Brakes : 242 Volvo Discs with Commodore front calipers
Front Brakes : 12" x 1.1" Lockheed drilled discs with 'large' 4 spot   
Alcon calipers
