Bowie69 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Yes, someone has done it, I was just idly browsing the web and came across a nice write up: http://www.melsteve.plus.com/LandRover/index.html I know quite a few people had been interested in doing this, so thought I would post it ut Cheers, Pete.

Retroanaconda Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Good to see a writeup showing it being done finally. Interesting that he used multi-point injection rather than a single-point system like a throttle-body injector that is used on most modern small engines. That was the way I was looking at going, since it saved having to mess with the manifold, one would just need to make up an adaptor and bolt the TBI on in place of the carb. But hey, if it works it works and kudos to the guy for bringing it into the 21st century! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 About time someone did it - although judging by the content he did this some time ago as the ECU is a V2 board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRecklessEngineer Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I was thinking the same thing. There's very little on how it runs - it'd be nice to know how it is to drive compared to the original engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think he mentions something about 2003 in his post, very nice work on the fuel rail I thought! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smookiwi Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Sorry for delay away on holidays I do recommend doing the timing chain i did this before megasquirt and was a big improvement mine was at 68624 miles when done Second hand Ford EA Single Point NZ$115 Fuel Pump New NZ$143 BMX sprocket New NZ$25 The Ford EA single point has built in fuel reg and the 2 main butterfly holes pretty much line up with the 2.5 inlet manifold as you can see Some photos The new fuel pump (Just removed old unit and fitted new unit does need about 5mm cut off orignal steel inlet pipe) I fitted ECU in engine bay and ford EDIS mounted Used BMX sprocket and made up bracket for pickup Inlet Air Temp Sensor was getting heatsoak when mounted above throttle body so moved it here Extra holes drilled for inlet man bolts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FridgeFreezer Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 That's sweet, let's hope this inspires a few more people to convert. Can I vote this one into the technical archive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
