Hi rb968

Great build. Just read through this thread for the umpteenth time as it is time for me to change direction on my MX6 KL engine build. For some time I have been trying to convert it to Bike carbs with little success so the ECU/ITB route it is now. Having read up on this and Clairtoo's conversions and a few others, I think the missing info I have at the moment is the particular injectors that I will need to source.

So, please can you let me know what injectors you have used (Vauxhall Omega v6?) and whether they fit directly into the Triumph TB ports without any changes/machining ?

Many thanks in advance.

Edit - also, what did you do with the Dizzy, remove it totally, take the cap off and cap the rest ??

There's a couple of options for the dizzy. The simplest is to just unplug it and leave it in place. You could get a bung machined and fit that if you remove it totally, cut it down to use it as a cover plate or it is possible to use it as a cam sensor.

I'll be using mine as a cam sensor to see how well it works when going to a fully sequential system.

DIY Si - many thanks, will leave it in place if it is not hurting anything and will still give me tacho read out with the stock dash before I covert that to an ETB Digidash 2 Lite. Later I will probably remove rotor and cut down the cover and make up a blanking plate to stick to the front of that maybe.

Do you have pics/blog of your sprite build , and any comments on what injectors to use ?

Thanks

Hey Claire,
I know you've just got back but you know me, keen to get going. Ive been doing some measuring and about to put my spare V6 in my RX8 with a mock up adapter plate I've made. It's going to be tight but it's going in. One issue could be is, room under the bonnet, I will have 14cm left from the top of the heads to the inside of the bonnet. What's the height on this set up you have? As in, from the top of the heads at the back of the engine to the top of the trumpets/airbox tray?

Cheers

Kev

I've bunged in a complaint at Citylink - the `bodies were due for delivery on Friday




This is a slightly cut-down one on a Fury I did .

It looks like I might have a bit more room? I measured 20" from the underside of the bonnet to the centre of the input shaft.
