What's this issue with MFI? It can fuel a lot more than people seem to think. There was other mods Rick could have done to his MFI system before going to the MF2 5th injector....
I plan on making more than 250bhp with between 20 and 25psi*!
* those figures not set in concrete yet as my tuner may decide to utilise more boost!

coz mfi is shit mate...
at the end of the day its crap and limited and fifth injector is not a gd way of makin up the fuelin...
wots to make it fuel each cylinder equaly???

Do you honestly think all 4 cylinder induct at the same time?
Yes it is old technology and yes is is fundamentally flawed compared to a fully electronic system, but it can supply the fuel needed for big BHP.
Although I currently run the original MFI set up, it will be going in the bin for something slightly more advanced.

its not a question of inductin at the same time...
im sayin how does it split fuel equally???
as surely not fuellin each cyliner equally is not gd...
im not puttin the system down... but IMO 1ce u have pushed it to the point where it needs 5th injector i think u shud change over to sum sort of EFi system...
i wud just liketo no how it splits fuel equally?

Jano is easily upset so you can expect some abuse back for that

its a great place to cum for any info but u always get immature keyboard warriors who have to give it the big'en...
y not shut up n not reply if u got nothin decent to say???
u have a problem with jano or his work???
if so take it up with him to his face like a man or race 1 of the cars in Question to see if theres a problem with his work????

I think that point DazC was trying to get across is that while the injector sprays continually each cylinder fires respectively and gets 1/4 of the continuous 5th injection spray. Its not going to be 100% equal among all 4 cylinders but does the job probably as accurately as the MFI.
As with everything you pay what you get, if it was no good people wouldn't buy/use them.

I cant go into too much detail i haven't done a lot of modifying in my car. Things like 5th injectors would be set up by tuners, if it was dangerous then they wouldn't fit/supply them, if you can afford EFI/aftermarket management then all the better.
Some people can't afford that though, or don't want to hack appart the loom in their spanker S1, so this accomodates for those people if you get me

i see...
thanx for the info... i have a bit of knowledge but always keen to learn more and im honest with wot i think...
so hopefully dicks will stop jumpin the gun and listen b4 openin there mug mouths...
thanx for ya info... 1ce again.
thru my experience i do think that if u had a car on MFi and changed it over to EFi without changing a single other bit of spec u wud gain power coz of the effiency of the management...
also as i sed i had pretty gd spec MFi car b4 my current 1 and i found it hard to achieve over 200bhp on that management...
where as with weber im makin 215bhp at 16psi with std bottom end and head apart from the CVH35 as i sed b4 so this leads me to believe u can benefit more from the management change!
but as u say its not always a option for every1!

Its more than likely......me myself am changing over to EFI just because of how finnecky the MFI system is, its taken a lot of trial blood sweat and tears just to get my car to idle properly. The MFI system is too susceptable to external components affecting how it operates aswell.
It can only be a step forward

my points exactly...
i used to take me car into CO check every couple of weeks and it was never as it was set..
it changes wen it wants... no matter how gd ur meterin head is..
specially as u can pick up everything needed to go fezzer EFi on OFAB for like Ł50... as my mate did!!!

With reagrd to fuel distribution of a 5th injector, how do you think the many Single point injection cars work? The fuel is atomizied and injected into a very turbulent air stream of boosted air. Whereever this air goes, so does the extra fuel. So if a cylinder isn't getting as much air, then it's not getting as much fuel either - basically it works.
Mfi has proven to be very reliable for me, but i have plently of experience and the equipment to know if it is working correctly. I will be going to Efi at some point, purely for the greater control it allows.
Also, with reagrds to power outputs - boost generally means torque - not power. I was making around 180lb of torque on my 11psi and 210hp (208 to be accurate). Peak power was well over 6k - basically the engine revved. If you look at a car with std head and small turbo that puts out 210hp, the torque figure will be much higher, and the peak power, lower.

Think you may of exagerrated a little there but it is very cost effective i agree

Im still on MFI and making 205@ the wheels with 16psi boost on a 1.6 CVH

T28 RST thats more believeable and u have a tubular manifold... have u got much head work??
Safechav....
my mate Gucci boy bought whole OFAB set up for Ł50 mate... everythin he neded to swap over... but he sold it on(also for Ł50) and now he regrets it!!!

I perfectly good setup Series 2 can make pas the 200 barrier, Tony Turbo's 1st engine did, mine did, Andy RST's did, and still is. You don't need to spend a great deal of money on the engine unless it's fucked in the first place. Mine made 190 with 18psi on the rolling road day in performance ford this month, whereas Andy's still made 200+. (The git lol)

What you should gain from ditching the MFI is a nice boost in drivability and the extra functions from the management like boost curves and extra potential if you should ever need it.
its not a question of inductin at the same time...

MFI is good for 250hp anyday, Oranoco will soon be in to defend it
