phr34kr Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Guy from the scimitar club went to 3.8ltr fuel injection and seems to be very reliable, he runs i think series 2 Holden coils, ecu etc. He does have a bit of hardware that allows him to program his own chips for the ecu however. He has a chopped up burton power triple webber manifold as part of his injection set up however I don't believe he ever ran a carb on it.

J2Racing Posted January 6, 2011 Author Share Posted January 6, 2011 I've looked at that root and I have a buick hidding in a back conner , that I intend to use for a race car. The Essex is for my MK1 capri , that I like to keep a little more pure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phr34kr Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Yea he has stroked the essex to 3.8 ltr and has it running in a Reliant Scimitar, I have lost his number but will try and find his email and pm you that, im not certain of what he used but I belive he did mention chev rods and jb pistons, he built his with quite a high CR though.
