Atomic EFI TB Installation Video

[@TheKenworthys]

Great video. Takes the mystery out of all this... I may just have to try it out.

[@alanmoore78]

I may not be able to afford a $2500 fuel injection system, but this video takes the guesswork out of a lot of the theory behind making that sort of upgrade to a carbureted vehicle. A GM TBI unit, ECU, harness, vapor return line, mechanical fuel pump block-off plate, and some sort of fuel pump should be all I need. 80s-90s Ford pickups sometimes have external pumps, one of those would do nicely on my Torino, and my fuel pickup is driver side, down low, so I might even try an in-tank install.

Can I install this unit on my lawn mower?

[@Maples01]

From a similar setup, there was guys dyno running carb vs efi and they found the efi is better suited on a single plane intake, not dual like he installed his on.

[@johnhamilton6205]

Is there a vacuum port for brake booster?

[@alanmoore78]

Ford Torino was only made through 1976, they never got injection, so piecemeal is all I have to work with. Good news recently since this posting, I learned the CA emission Torinos had a vapor return line in their sending unit and that sending unit and line are reproduced so I can just buy those and not worry about the fuel lines or sending unit. If I get real lucky I'll find a way to install the pump in-tank so it'll be quieter.

Steve how much room do you have between 4l60 transmission and the transmission tunnel ?

[@Oldcarlane]

Do we need an msd distributor,? Or can we use our current gm hei distributor? if so what other parts do we need to use our gm hei distributors?

[@antonamalfi]

How about a crank angle sensor?

[@adampatchubg1012]

Can it be used on a 4 cylinder engine from a series 3 land rover?

[@enginelife8449]

IS THERE A TURBO MSD MADE JUST FOR TURBOS OR CAN THTA TUNE A TURBO ENGINE. IF SO HOW DO YOU PUT A TURBO ON A MSD CARB

[@gptech2444]

Says to mount pump inside tank for a returnless setup but shows mounting the pump externally.

[@Goldiney]

Nah. You can install it within 2' of the tank and keep the returnless set up.

[@cazphoenix]

Can run in a L6 258 engine? yep in an AMC Hornet, what about mileage? in my L6 engine? there's a "two barrel" option?

[@greent4260]

can you put it on a 454 bbc twin turbo that uses 45lb's of boost i'm putting it in a 1981 K30 truck non dully i will be using different fuel pump

[@tismgarage]

can this product be used with a turbo?

[@ashnfrank10]

Yes

[@gordonsampson7922]

Wood it work say on a built 300 inline 6 like a 300 ford

[@brian242]

AWESOME

[@jdb-lu3bp]

When the key is on its purging gas and hears clicking. When cranking the engine I don't see gas coming out inside the throttle body. Is this defective?

[@goobermintheretik1454]

Clearly this has some age behind it. Whats the latest comparable product? I Wonder? The PWM sort is just the ticket for my needs.

[@Richez1]

Hmm is it able to be setup to a blower? I think it might but it woul be weird with the 2 little screen things or nowhere to put the wires of the next efi system please respond :)

[@Richez1]

If i want i could get a single carb mount for the blower setup

[@overvald426]

Några problem än så länge? Sneglar på en jag med.

[@bash5995]

Steve is the best host, he is also a slight idiot savant but in a good way.

1978 rover sd1 3500cc/ 214 in³ / 153 Hp twin carp is Atomic EFI TB Self Tuning Fuel Injection System work with it, and what i accept difference and it easy programing for normal drive for one time or i need to program every long period stop, or battery down, how much change i will get on engine chart map , hp and torque and this difference effect transmission auto or i need to upgrade torque converter stall speed and how i can know the right stall speed according the new engine chart map hp and torque . i know this system is reliable,fuel economy, smooth clean engine start. car is stock .all rover use Buick engine 214 in³ , i need to change cold air intake manifold . best regards

It seems like a negative that the ecu is built right into the unit. All that heat from the engine will be transferred right into the electronics. It would probably fail after a few years of use.

[@Maples01]

That is why I am watching these, every one is the same, I have a van, the engine in the doghouse has far more heat due to less room for air circulation, in fact, a simple exhaust manifold leak at the head was causing the engine to run hot.

[@goobermintheretik1454]

That is, the fuel pump.

[@323jo3y]

Good for my Chevy

[@Celticman197]

Always run a return system, always mount the fuel pump in the tank, by-pass the computer fuel pump sensor, and only use 1 fuel filter. If you do otherwise you are inviting problems. I learned the hard way.

[@gordonsampson7922]

Or other inline 6 cyl thanks

[@abdoshair9187]

the video is a bit rushed. It should be at least a 30 minute tutorial so that we can see how it comes together. For comparison purposes, the "Edelbrock E street 2" video is 45 minutes long. So far the Edelbrock E street with the fuel system, done under the hood, is the most thought out system for a home install. The MSD is a nice, much is in the unit, but I still feel its a complex job to put it on a typical car.The wiring and fuel hoses, rear to front, is the headache.

[@apacheone3643]

The one thing I do not like is the stupid move of placing the electronics right onto of the engine the hottest location were they WILL FAIL!
