The Bronze Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 I'm so confused right now. You're injecting it, with a custom set up using an assortment of Falcon parts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you've done has given me something to think about. Would you be able to show a diagram on how you've wired it in? no pressure! Yeah ill draw up a diagram when I get a moment 4 hours ago, The Bronze said: I'm so confused right now. You're injecting it, with a custom set up using an assortment of Falcon parts? It's a multi-step process. Step one is 34adm carb off falcon and I'll run around with that for a while. Step two will be set up the trigger wheel and inputs into the ECU and do wasted spark. After that is reliable and running well and I have cobbled more parts ill use the falcon TBI unit and inject it I'll probably do the injection after I rebuild the motor and port the head. Playing with a laptop and learning tuning is much more appealing than changing jets 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearded Baldy Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 I was looking at going efi in the xc, then they changed the rules in april and now it will need certs. Which i don't want the hassle with personally. Will be watching closely, might get reinspired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if I don't end up running it permanently it'll be a fun learning exercise 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vk327 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Fyi those bosch 3 chanel ignitiors need a decent sized heat sink, i cooked one testing ignition on a small piece of ali, also be wary series 1 3.8 square coils are prone to failure. That efi throttle body setup off the falcon looks like it should work pretty good on the carby manifold. on another note i take it the trigger wheel showed up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's the least bad option in terms of injection. It'll be easy enough to fit onto the manifold and not be difficult to adapt onto the manifold. Oh yes it did thanks.

chris r Posted June 21, 2020 Author Share Posted June 21, 2020 Does anyone know what thread the exhaust stud nuts are on the 202s are? I dropped one and its disappeared into the void. And the port that's missing the nut seems to be the only one that is not leaking. Also a barb that bolts onto the mechanical fuel pump would be amazing so I can semi nicely do the fuel supply to the carb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vk327 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 3/8 unf for the manifold studs, i think the fuel pump is 1/4bspt might be npt cant remember which thread tape will make up the gap its only low pressure 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No not at the moment but I haven't even set the idle mixture etc or finished the exhaust yet.

sr2 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Weber Specs charge like the proverbial wounded bull.

Bruce is now retired/ doesn't pop into the business very often now unfortunately. Weber Specs said the 34adm are shit on 202 and w're shit on the falcons and I need to get a new 32/36 and put water lines on the manifold etc etc. So I'll have to figure out some aliexpress jets or something. I'm assuming the 23/36 jets are similar/will work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwibirdman Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Probably a dumb question but why not find the injected intake off a black 202, or better still the whole motor? They used to be around and not much money, of course that might have changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"opinionated" to say the least, (looks like they were angling to sell you a new 32/36?). I ran an XE Coon in the early 90's and the 34ADM on it started, idled and ran smoothly - a huge improvement on the stromberg carb on the XA Coon I'd had before. It's hard to escape that this has been a very common swap in Aussie for decades and most use the existing 'Coon jetting. Classic example from the GMH-Torana Forum - these guys know their stuff. http://www.gmh-torana.com.au/forums/topic/75566-weber-34-adm/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found nothing but good reviews about the 34adm in my research It can't be worse than the single barrel stromberg that I took off 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
