Hi guys,
I know this isn’t a jaguar topic but I haven’t posted in a
while and I thought you all might be interested in my latest
project, which is to convert a TR6 (single barrel carb) to a
highly efficient TBI style (but using modern injectors) for
added MPG. There is a kit on the market already but it’s price
tag is crazy for what you get. I’m going to try to get the
total cost down to the sub-300 level.
My plan is to make a 2 part adapter plate from cast resin which
would seat two modern injectors (the ones from Ford 5.0s, or
the chevy 5.7’s like we use). Another fellow on the triumph
forum had success in mounting his injectors from the bottom
aiming up towards the throttle plates, and was well hidden but
required an irreversible modification to the carb body. I’m
trying to mimic the existing kit only instead of a single TBI
injector for each carb (with their crummy spray pattern and
inefficiencies) to a dual injector bank fire.–
