Looks ace Ste! I've been following you build thread since day one, and it's right up my street.
I don't know why you lot are well against the idea. It would take a miracle for it to explode in some sort of Bruce Willis based film. No different to multiple carbs. If you think about it. Although being contained, the entry point of fuel in a carb is quite a distance from the inlet ports.
I wouldn't be against an enclosed system, but one like in the original vid where the fuel is basically being sucked across an air gap (as in, not enclosed) into the engine... hmm. Its still possible to flibble petrol everywhere, afaik in some applications its even designed for some of the fuel to drop out of suspension and not go in the engine
A car of many tricks.
Me and my friend have a name for the JDM induction kits, that are styled very much like that. Would anyone like to hazard a guess?

and how exactly would the wording on the insurance modifaction list go?
" well it has injectors that squirt petrol at the engine, it's not a fire hazard as the engine sucks the petrol out of the air so it's all good"
fook any benifit that may bring, i wouldnt run the risk of looking like Niki lauda for the sake of a few bhp,
You're obviously not dedicated enough :pQuote:

Real heroes use these...........

Squirts in a /\ fashion straight onto/past the butterfly. I found that out when I took mine apart while it was running.Quote:

A 1.2 spi will pass an mot and even trackday scrutineering with it's setup,
I very much doubt that external injection would pass either,
You better get onto the F1 teams sharpish then because the first race of the season is coming up! lolQuote:

5.8.2 Only one fuel injector per cylinder is permitted which must inject directly into the side or the top of the inlet port.
Lol I like....Quote:

I've seen 5th injectors on FIA approved cars....Quote:

and the ones from the F1 testing vid fire directly into the top of the inlet port, so?Quote:

Good idea for water injection I think...
but in this case MAD! :)
Lol I mean the term external injection. I googles that, and nothing car related came up. I always thought the technical term was stand off injectors.Quote:
