[chimp007_uk]

hi all,

is this possible?? if been offered a set of throttle bodies and i was wondering if you can run them on standard managment? obviously aftermarket managment is best, but costs...

thanks guys

i beleive u will need after market stuff

[chimp007_uk]

was thinking of running them with the air mass meter and make a plenum to connect to the tb's.

still need after market lad.

If fitting it to a MPI engine, keeping original sensors etc, it might start and run, but the ecu map would be entirely wrong.

Not recommended.

Get a MegaSquirt setup to do it on the cheap. Just need someone/somewhere to finalise the spark/fuel map.

iv heard there is a lot of engine failing with the megasquirt opition as they havent been put together correctly (dry joints) usaly with the injector wiring.

but it is a gd cheap price so i u get it done correcty and set up well it should be good for a laught

what engine u thinking about?

[Philsutton]

yes would need after market management, go for mega squirt its cheap enough.

You can get a fully/professionally built Megasquirt ecu for about ?250.
To run any engine you want.

Then just make a loom out of a few old Gm looms,Lol.

make a new loom FFS... its not expensive and not hard. i wouldn trust 10 + yr old wires....

it when people have been making the looms.
i mind iv heard something about a few of the ecu failing very quickly froma supplier and tthey have switched to emeralds systeams instead.
