zx12

There's one on ebay at the moment, I'd love to have it but what are injection engines like to install in a car as all engines i've ever been interested in are carbed?

A mate of mine has put a ZX12 in a Locost, FI isnt really much more tricky than carbs, just more wires to connect up and possibly in need of a Power Commander to up the fuelling (rather than a rejet like you would on carbs). You also need a return fuel feed back to the fuel tank for FI but apart from that it shouldnt be much extra hassle.
If you are thinking about it then drop me an email and I'll send you his address.

FI engines

No major problems with Injected engines. If you can keep the airbox and all sensors in the right places the ECU should keep the fuelling correct, in theory anyway, so potentially less hassle than carbed engine. IMHO
I've fitted an ITG filter and managed to retain the IAT and MAP sensor in the filter and engine certainly runs sweet wont no for sure without rolling road testing though.

ZX12 is an fantastic motor, ditching the cat and fitting good pipes, remap the ECU and some bikes were nudging 200BHP at the crank... GO FOR IT
