[Diy_efi] Finding a suitable TBFI model...

[dh at busb.com]

Regarding the Mopars, didn't they also have turbo models that required more
flow?  Or was that a different technology, such as sequential?

The GM TBIs for smaller engines were for smaller output, such as the V6
models.  These have easier to find connectors for the position sensor.
Suggeset you change position sensor before use, common failure item.

Paul,  in the GM lineup, the earlier 2.2 liter would also be TBI -- 
If those designs don't strike your fancy, I'd suggest the Mopar 2.2 /
2.5 liter, some were TBI.  Again, 100 horsepower is a modest design
goal, but I'm trying to keep your TB in check with the displacement of
your engine.

Also, Toyota had some 1.6 / 1.8 liters back in the 80's, although i
believe they were MFI -- check the emissions labels out while your at
the scrapyard, it'll tell you what type of FI is on the engine!
