tazman7474: I say standard internals, but the block is from a model that has stronger internals than the original for my motor anyways :o)

Bitten the bullet, bought another car for everyday use now, and trailer mine to the track instead of driving,, within next month gonna fit bigger turbo, and front mount intercooler, and remap her.. should get her to best part of 350bhp 330Lb/ft torque :o) not bad for a little 2.0 boxer engine still on standard internals LOL

Stevie: multi-port fuel pressure drops as rpms ncrease, so I could see where you could run into a problem there. its strange the engine manufacturer didnt use a larger injector at the end of the rail to compensate.

Stevie 
Subject: Re:
tazman7474: yep, Ive altered the air intake, I prefer it slightly rich anyways cos these motors are prone to blowing up with the slight sign of running weak,, as I found out last year. I can parralel up the fuel rails, as they are in series at the moment ( so means the final injector can be slightly starved,, and that just happens to be the usual cylinder that runs lean and fails.
I may look at a larger turbo later this year, and will upgrade the fuel pump again, and do the rails.. and then will fit larger intercooler or go for a front mount.. then I will get it remapped

Subject: Re:
Stevie: all it does is improve the fuel atomization, which brings it closer to what a fuel injection system would do. with yours being an efi motor, you're better off working on an intercooler and maybe an improved induction system(you've probably done some of that anyways)

Subject: Re:
tazman7474: My engine is probably too complicated for that sort of alteration, and getting the ECU remapped is not cheap :o(

Subject: Re:
Stevie: i have to run a carburater on mine, i had 3 of them custom done to maximize the mixture.(it has to do with the way the fuel is coming out of the boosters into the venturi, that cut the wasted fuel down a little. now we get more power out of it!)

on- track, i think i'm getting about 5 miles per us gallon!

Subject: Re: arrrggghghhhhh
tazman7474: ooooooooooooouchies :o( here £10 is just over 2 UK gallons. flooring the motor must be around 5 to 7 miles per gallon at the most. normal driving I get 15 ish. on long journies if i stay below 70 and on motorways, and keep it off the turbo ( so under 2700rpm)I can squeeze just shy of 30 as long as no traffic problems and its say a 3 hour drive

thats a 540 Dart shortblock with Merlin "World" heads, Comp cam, Crane roller lifters and rockers, Dart intake, Holly 1050 cfm Dominator carb...and what ever I could salvage from the old 454 mag Mercruiser engine.
I had to rebuild the Bravo 2 outdrive with beefier gears to handle the higher torque.
