very cool project... I thought about going this way too.

How much did the entire TBI setup come to?

If this is successful, you need to do a full write up, with pics, parts and pricing. I have concidered going this route but most of it would be new territory for me. Learning curve gets harder the older I get.

the throttle body is actually was used on a winnebago with the same injectors
the gas lines were not set up in that picture
throttle body is welded inside and out and will be coated with an epoxy resein (its early)
exhaust manifold idea was by pictures from rx3mist.com
the guy said he stopped making them and it would take 3 months to get it
I simply took my old pacesetter header and one mandrel u bend and made my own manifold
alot cheaper than paying someone 300 bucks to do a half *** job
here is my pic of my tacked up downpipe
full write-up and more pictures on the way

its interesting to see how you have your fan in there setup to push air and not draw it, what is that fan off of? I was thinking about doing that to my car to clear up the engine bay area.

I like the looks of your setup. I'd love to go fuel injection on my turbo 12a, but alas, I dont have that kind of money. Let us know how much things have cost you.

How bigs your downpipe? It looks a bit on the small side.

You could always stick in a resistor pack in series with the injectors and forget about the flyback board. This makes the injectors appear as a high impedance load to the 'squirt. FC's have a resistor pack under the AFM. I use a Honda unit in my install. Early Hondas (late 80's to early-mid 90's?) have one mounted up near the firewall on the driver's side.

was looking at your pics again and it jumped out at me. do you have a plan in place to address the possible heat issue on that fuel rail just above the downpipe?
