Theo, interesting points you make. And I have not heard  Megasquirt is a =
long while! Why not consider a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ ? Certainly enough =
brainpower. An arduino might  work also and it could handle it as well. =
While I was thinking of a carb setup type of FI, a SEFI might be just as =
good if implemented correctly. Or even a large throttle bore with direct =
injection. Think I will look around and see if anyone has made a DIY EFI =
system using any of this stuff.=20

Thanks for reminding me=E2=80=A6=20

Will and Mayf,

I ran my Tiger with a BossEFI 4-barrel throttle body injection system =
for about six or seven years. This is the system that got acquired (or =
at least rebranded and marketed) by Professional Products.

The version I had, still had the ECU separately mounted in the passenger =
compartment; later versions had the electronics all integrated in the =
throttle body assembly. This simplifies the wiring but subjects the =
electronics to the under-hood heat, which is maybe not a great idea.

When I bought my crate motor, it came with a carb and so far I have not =
put the BossEFI back on yet. The programming interface for the BossEFI =
system was ... not great. It came with a number of pre-built maps, but =
it was not easy to tweak in a logical way, and especially its =
integration of air/fuel ratio feedback and timing control was just =
weird. The car ran fine at WOT but the part throttle operation was not =
easy to get right. This is partially because the Tiger will run all day =
at really small throttle openings, and so you're always tuning just a =
hair off the idle settings. I'm not sure if a throttle body that had the =
injectors below the throttle plates would be better in that regard.

=20

If / when I get time to go back to playing with that setup again, I may =
look at using a third party EFI controller (such as Megasquirt, if they =
are still making stuff that can be adapted to any generic injector), =
rather than going back to 2003 era user interface and controls.

=20

To set the car up for the EFI system, I took many of the same steps that =
Will did. I plumbed a 3/8 inch feed and return line from the back of the =
car to the firewall and mounted a regulator on the firewall. I initially =
used a high volume canister filter as a sort of surge can, but currently =
I have the (stock) feed from the tank running about 12 inches forward, =
to a low pressure pre-filter. Then the return line is teed in, and we go =
to the fuel pump and then the high-pressure post filter. Those three =
pieces are all mounted under the trunk, behind the Alpine spare tire =
well.

=20

I'm running a Denso 70 amp alternator that is small enough to tuck ahead =
of the right cylinder head, still preserving the stock fan belt line. I =
also have a Plex wideband O2 sensor mounted in the right header =
collector.

=20

To convert back to the carburetor, I just swapped the 45 PSI regulator =
out for one that would not flood the Holley carb's needle/seat. The =
(high pressure) fuel pump just ends up circulating the fuel through the =
return line, if there is any excess volume.

Cheers,

Theo

Mayf,

I got the EFI bug some time ago when I saw a series of Hagerty Youtube =
videos in which a Fairlane (5-bolt) 289 was rebuilt to a 289 HiPO-ish =
state and then put it in Brad Phillips Tiger.  The plan was to do the =
engine swap and get the engine going with a Holley 4BBL setup and then =
switch the 4BBL for a Holley Sniper EFI throttle-body unit.  Brad got =
his Tiger going with the 4BBL setup but, to my knowledge, never did the =
Sniper install.  Brad's engine swap was recorded in a series of 12 =
Youtube videos.  Here are some links:

=20

Here's the first episode of Brad Phillips 289 engine swap:  =
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DCzWYRPH24Bw =
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DCzWYRPH24Bw&list=3DWL&index=3D2&t=3D26=
s> &list=3DWL&index=3D2&t=3D26s

Here's the Hagerty time-lapse video of the engine rebuild:  =
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DtVtrnxx3rTE =
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DtVtrnxx3rTE&t=3D0s> &t=3D0s


=20

There is a Youtube video of a dyno test of the engine with and without =
EFI.  So far I haven't found a link to it.

=20

I have been making plans to make my car "EFI-ready".  That is, I want to =
have a plan for each aspect of the conversion.  Current plan is to =
replace the OEM fuel pump with the high pressure pump and to house pump =
and pre and post filters in the same area as previously housed the OEM =
pump.  I have made up a heat shield for the right-side muffler to keep =
from roasting the pump.  Fuel return line will go into the top of the =
right fuel tank.  I can provide pictures of the return line fittings if =
you are interested.  I will be doing my own harness.  The Holley harness =
is bass ackwards for a Tiger, assuming battery up front.  Fuel relay and =
fuses for fuel pump and EFI will be located with the pump.  Anticipating =
that the fuel pump and injectors will want to suck more current than the =
OEM generator can provide, I have done an alternator conversion.  I =
already have a wide band O2 sensor installed for a PLX O2 readout so the =
O2 sensor is already there.  Control of distributor advance is optional =
with the Sniper so I don't plan to do opt for that initially.  Someday I =
would like to add it though.  Should improve driveability and maybe =
performance.

=20

Like I said, I want to make the car "EFI-ready" .  Don't know if I will =
actually do the conversion, but I want to at least have it thought out =
so that I can get there from here if I decide to.

I have  owned my Tiger since Jan 1967, bought it used.  Has been sitting =
quietly now for quite a number of years. And I want to drive it a bit =
more now. But carbs are so old fashioned, lol. So, seeking information =
from the groups experiences, those owners who have replaced the carb =
with an electronic injected version: either 2 bbl or f bbl versions. If =
2 bbl then I would just use the cast iron intake manifold. If 4 bbl I =
need to know which is best for a bone stock 260 cid which so far in my =
ownership  has never been apart.  I tend to lean toward a 4 bbl version =
as I have a 5 bolt 289 with some performance capability and I would need =
to buy a manifold for that.  I also have my 260 LSR motor which has the =
full treatment and is a real race motor.   So, seeking real world =
experience on what and which brands are most user friendly while putting =
out power for driving around, having some fun (again).  =20

the carb with an electronic injected version: either 2 bbl or f bbl =
versions. If 2 bbl then I would just use the cast iron intake manifold. =
If 4 bbl I need to know which is best for a bone stock 260 cid which so =

toward a 4 bbl version as I have a 5 bolt 289 with some performance =
capability and I would need to buy a manifold for that.&nbsp; I also =
have my 260 LSR motor which has the full treatment and is a real race =
motor. &nbsp;&nbsp;So, seeking real world experience on what and which =
brands are most user friendly while putting out power for driving =
around, having some fun (again). &nbsp;&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></span></p><p =
