I presently own a 79 fiat spider that I would like to convert to tbi =
(from an 85 4 cylinder chevy cavalier). i have a 1.8 liter engine in the =
fiat, the chevy is a 2 liter engine. does this year tbi operate in open =
and closed loop mode.
Yes.
what sensors would i have to include, which could i ignore.
Use all of them. Start with learning the basics, and build on that. =
Don't try reinventing the wheel with your first go around.
i understand that the chevy injector works mainly off the distributor =
to know when to supply fuel, using the throttle position, engine temp =
and maf sensor to determine how much fuel to inject. am i out of my mind =
or is this a (with some work) doable project.
Given time, energy, money, and information, about anything is =
possible.
Ya need to do your homework, and the level that you do that will =
predict your success at the conversion. Homework here is reading the =
gmecm AND diy_efi archives for all the TBI postings.
enjoy this forum, even if i need a ladder for some of the discussions, =
as they are over top of my head.
It will get much worse. I still get to where I can't even word the =
questions
Grumpy
