MrSpeedy Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I thought some of you might be interested in the latest phase of developments on my Vitesse.I've now actively started fitting it with EFI. I'll be using Megasquirt management, Triumph 675 Daytona throttle bodies on custom inlet manifolds, and I'll also be making a new 6-3-1 exhaust manifold to get the most out of it.

Nick Moore Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Impressive. We will be watching with interest, Mr Speedy. Is your engine still 2L? What diameter are the 675 throttle bodies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vitesse203 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 You need to consider how little space there is between the engine and the lip of the inner wheel arch when closing the bonnet. On my set up the bonnet stay just catches the throttle body mounting plate and has also interfered with my air filter. Unless you are planning on no air filters.Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSpeedy Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 It is visually deceptive, but the new inlet runners I've made are only half an inch longer than the stock Vitesse manifold!With the throttle bodies being considerably more compact than the CD150's and K&N filters I used to be running, there'll be plenty of room, even with the ram pipes fitted.

Nick Jones Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Injected Vitesses rule! :) Watching with interest.How much do those fuel rails miss the body by? Does the rear TB miss the bulkhead?CheersNick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSpeedy Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 The fuel rails are slightly lower than the K&N air filters and dashpots on the carbs, so clearance under the bonnet is enough.The rear TB to bulkhead might be a bit closer, but seeing as the rest of the car is nowhere near standard, I'm not adverse to relieving it a bit for clearance if needed ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
