Lately I’ve been working on the fuel injector bosses for my fuel injection conversion project. The other night I started machining the bosses themselves. The above video is a sped-up version of me machining the bosses in my living room. I believe that machining in my living room levels me up in the world of engineers.
I was thinking about having the hose fittings come out the sides of the bosses but this would impede being able to bolt the injectors to the throttle body.
I can’t put them straight out the top either without impinging upon the water pipes coming out of the cylinder heads.
This side is a more likely candidate. However, I will need to get a 90 degree elbow to make sure I don’t bend the high pressure fuel hose. I will be picking that up this evening.
I will be shaving down about 1/4″ from the top of the blocks to make sure they fit properly once I have set the retaining bolts to hold the bosses and injectors to the throttle bodies.
I might be in trouble with the alignment of the injector wiring. Hopefully I can make it fit properly.
Hey Douglas, really interested in the injection conversion you are doing. Have you made any further progress? If so, how well does she run? Any extra ponies resulting form better fuel mixing/ratios?
Stay well!
Hey Christopher!
I have all of the components ready to swap onto the bike and wire everything up but I’ve had a real lack of time the last several months to finish up the job. Hopefully (crossing my fingers) I can get it done before the end of June. Every time that I think that I will have some free time to finish up, I end up getting sidetracked again.
Cheers!
Douglas
