JTR TPI/TBI conversion manual

[Guest Anonymous]

I was wondering if anyone out there has used JTR's TPI/TBI conversion manual? Any injection conversion success stories would give me hope. Thx, Jeff

Go aftermarket! I have a Pro-Flo Edelbrock with sequential,multipoint fuel injection. It comes with everything you need. I dynoed my 327 with this EFI and Trick Flow Twisted Wedge heads, and it made 435hp, 493 ft lbs tq!!

I,ve got a Chevy 383 in my 76Z with Accel's DFI sys. I use an LT-1 type fuel injection mini-ram type manifold with twin 58mm TB's. Fuel is pumped by a 300 lb/hr Bosch FP thru 30 lb injectors. I produce almost 475HP @ sea level and about 425HP here in Grand Junction, Colo, which is 4700+ ft elev. This setup was rather pricey ($5000+/-)!! I'm planning to do a "standard" Chevy 350 and use Accel's 4 barrel TBI sys which uses a standard 4 barrel carb intake manifold and save about $3500.

JEGS catalog has a variety of TPI/TBI setups which include Accel, Edelbrock, Holley, etc. I know Accel the best because I've got one and it works great.

 

I did have JTR's TBI/TPI manual, but gave it away. It dealt primarily with the pulling and installing a complete TPI setup engine into a Z. I just wanted to start from scratch with out all the "tuned in" smog junk that usually accompanys the late model (85 and up)engines.

 

Good luck!!

Thanks for the info guys. I have access to a '91 Camaro w/ TBI really cheap so the JTR manual just might be the ticket for me Frog.

Thanks again, Jeff
