Ok, opinions please.
For those who already enjoy the simplicity of fuel injection on the standard engine is there a significant advantage of fitting throttle bodies?
Are bike throttle bodies as good or as suitable as those specifically designed for cars?
Is the injection ecu set up difficult to achieve for the home mechanic?
If i look a taking this route it will be on a V6. Does this add to the complications?
Pleae share the benifit of your expierence and be honest .
Look forward to the input.
(PS)Look the Biz
TBs are in fact very simple, a tube with a butterfly and an injector. The benefit is that the exact amount of fuel goes in every time, no waiting for
air to suck it out of a tube! Bike units are just fine, just a bit more work to get them mounted as the spacing of the throttle spindle and fuel rail
more than likely wont be the same for your engine, but not rocket science to adapt.
6 cyl engines no more tricky than a 4, just two more mouths to feed.
If you get an aftermarket ecu you may get a copy of the map for the more common engines from the maker or someone else with the same setup, but if
you can get the most from the engine and spend £200 on a rolling road session.
Well worth getting to know how they work and carbs are history.
