Default Custom loom makers ( i.e DTA )

My mate wants a custom loom made for his S60 Pro

He's spoken to Simtek but they want a outrageous amount for one so is there anyone else he can try?

Its for this engine, my mate has spent a fortune on it but is refusing to spend that much on a loom



As you can see its N/A Zetec running Austin's old coil on plug conversion and 8 injectors

Still dont get why its running 8 injectors ?

Certainly looks proper though, whats the expected power output ?

Usually, the second injectors (the ones far away from the valve) will only open at WOT and at high rpm. When this two conditions are met, airflow is really high and the sprayed fuel outside the trumpet will be sucked in with no problem.

Injecting fuel far away from the valve will cold down ACT's better and the air mixture will be more homogeneous which will help since problems can arise (fuel droping out of suspension) when loads of fuel is injected.

All F1 engines have injectors like this, and the "cloud" made by the spray on them is massive! No fuel spills out the trumpet.

Actually there is also other reason:
- When the injector near the inlet valve is too big, it will hurt low airflow mix (fuel will drop out of suspension and the injector injects too much fuel at low ms openings). Use smaller injectors and get another set far away to only help high rpm fueling.

I think he's looking for 250bhp?

That makes plenty of sense, I have seen the same setup from SBD before on the vauxhall xe's.

Proper build
