Hi,
As for the EFI for a high winding 4 cyl...I believe at this present
time there is nothing inexpensive on the market(but I gotta look in my garage
I think I've got one of those haltech motorcyle units out there)....do you
have any way to datalogg the fuel curve????? Are you going lean or rich on
the top end??? are you too rich in the mid range and ok on the top? These can
all be cured by using one or multiple high speeds with differing jets and
springs....the fuel curve on a mechanical injection setup(especially on
alcohol) can be made to be pretty accurate....you just gotta get the fuel
curve and the air curve to match...it does make for some fun plumbing...glad
to help if I can....

First I need to fill you in on a little background of where I'm at.
I build race cars called Mini-Sprints. Basically they are small versions of
a 410 Outlaw Winged Sprinter. We run an Open Wheel Midget chassis with
motorcycle engines, and a wing. There are many different classes, i.e.
600cc, 750cc and 1200cc open (or outlaw). We run the 1200cc open class in
Wisconsin. I presently run two different engines. 1 car is using a 1991
Suzuki Katana 1100 engine, bored to 1204cc, 13/1 compression, Dyna 2000
ignition, with 50mm Hilborn Fuel Injection, running on Methanol. The second
car is running a 1996 Suzuki GSXR1100W, bored to 1127, 12/1 compression,
Dyna
2000 ignition, Kinsler Fuel injection and also on Methanol.
We all run the same basic fuel injection systems, .086 - .095 jet,
9AS nozzles at 20lbs fuel pressure. I would like to run an EFI system, but
the cost of purchasing a Kinsler or other system is outrageous, $5000-$7000.
EFI is the way to go, and very few people are running it. I need
information
on building my own. Where do I start? What do I need? Presently I run a
crank driven pump. Do I need to go to an electric with a EFI system? I
need
better fuel control in mid range and high rev's. Very hard to do with
conventional fuel injection. Any suggestions on starting points for me?
Also the engine rules say, "naturally aspirated engine". That rules out
turbo. But I can set it up ram air. What would that do for me?
