they were an aircraft system and not really suited to varying rpm as seen in motor vehicles.
Jaguar used it on the works D types and later the Lightweight E Type. it came with butterflys or slide-throttle. the slide-throttle system worked better as the injectors pointed outwards towards the throttle rather than down the inlet (this helped the fuel/air mix for a better burn) as well an no restriction in the inlet.
as said the light throttle vacuume system did not like air leaks and will not work with wild camshafts. there is a mechanical system for the load signal but they are quite rare.
power is not affected by having the injection out of phase with the inlet valves. a little bit of drivability is lost but that is about it. they need to run 105 psi fuel pressure to work properly and it's advisable to run a little bit of two stroke to lube the fuel distributor. they don't work very well in cold climates as the tolerances are quite tight so can jam solid if too cold.
at full throttle the amount of fuel injected per stroke is the same at 2000 as it is at 6000. pretty much stuck with a 2 dimentional system hence quite difficult to tune with limited variability.

Isn't that a Cressida not a Corona? i used to own a 2dr Pillarless Corona MK2 Grande. they were badged as a Cressida in the UK and a Corona in Japan. so yes Corona is correct. mine was also badged as a Toyopet. very rare car now gone.

ah of course. I just assumed 5 stud to 4 stud due to 4x114.3 being a common wheel to ask for in the wanted section.

i thought that size was a problem? there would be one hole that wont clear another. 5x130 to 4x100 is doable as it's quite common to fit Porsche wheels to VWs etc and there was a chap who made some visa versa to fit 4x100 to S800 5x130 pcd.
i did look for 4x108 to fit 5x130 and even that was supposed to be a problem.

i would have thought MX5 conversion. keeps it in the same family, cheap. doesn't need to be super fast.?

the splines were already cut. as for how much, find me a decent Atlas pigs head and its yours.

what i'm looking for is the 5x127pcd Cortina P100 axle. complete if possible although i don't need the diff itself. i know they are quite rare but there may be one kicking around.
cheers

would be about 43 inches with the brakes. probably a bit overkill for what you want and I don't need to sell it as I'd need another Atlas to replace it. but your welcome to borrow it to have a measure up and if you don't buy it I'll have it back

any sensible suggestions are welcome. i have plenty of ideas but i'm not worrying about it too much at present as the main objective is to get the mechanical and body part of the project nearer completion. the only bit of rot door skins fitting back onto the frames

"It'll just be an issue with the design of their FI inlet vs the carb one, seen it many times." it was just a change between throttle bodies and carbs which mount on the same inlet. as for going for standard fuel injection on the F20c in the S800. it wont fit. i have had to angle the inlet down which in itself will knock some horsepower off. the exhaust manifold is also a wierd design to fit into the small area left in the engine bay so that will dramatically affect power. i know from the off that it'll be way down on power BUT we will not know anything until it's up and running like where vtec crossover works best etc. we can all speculate what will and wont work and i don't mind input but i have done a lot of research on inlet and exhaust manifold design to know the only way to make it fit on a small budget is to make many compromises. in fact deciding on the S2000 engine is a compromise because there are very few RWD Honda engines to choose from and most FWD engines spin anticlockwise. there have been conversions to modify a B series engine to spin clockwise but i'm too far down fitting the S2000 engine to change now and it HAD to be a Honda engine. i'm keeping the S800 for life so i expect it'll get modified and changed over the years anyway

it used to be a hillclimb car. there was also green paint on the fibreglass front end. the previous owner has known the car since the 80's and didn't know it had been green at one point. apparently there are references to a green hillclimb S800 in the 70's but i haven't found any info yet. there is evidence of having a rollcage fitted at somepoint and a 90's valuation points it to being an ex hillclimb car turned back into a road car. scraping all the underseal off is a really boring job

if the question asked what the lambda reading was on overrun then it's probably correct but for actual ratio it is wrong.
when cats first came out the fuel economy got really bad for a while as the perfect fuel ratio for a cat to work fully is 14.7 to 1. carbs prior to that ran leaner at light loads for economy. they are a lot better now though.

ask him to prove it. also why would you be learning about carbed engines anyway? also on some carbs they used to have a cut off valve on overrun which switched back off at about 1100rpm to allow the engine to idle. (about the same with a fuel injection engine)
question is a little vauge and the answer doesn't seen right to me. that answer must be what a lambda sensor reads which is probably its limit as it cant read infinity which would be a closer answer to the actual ratio.

odd
there is no fuel so no ratio
does it mean what the Lambda sensor measures? I thought they went open loop on overrun but then I have't done vehicle electrics for many years.

whats the exact question?
i.e. there is no fuel so how can there be a ratio?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
20% Oxygen, 79% nitrogen, 1% whatever else the engine sucks in. isn't the clue in the question

if it's a plated diff then it'll need an addative to stop the plates juddering. BPA which is a company that build diffs all the time advised using an addative even with LSD specific oil.
