Title: Throttle body
Post by: LeeC on September 24, 2015, 06:24:00 PM

Probably a dumb question but has anyone ever put throttle body injection on an L134 ?

I vaguely remember a kit with a programmable computer controler that could be fit to a variety of older engines.
Can't for the life of me remember where I saw it.
Anybody?

Holley and Edlebrock both have TBI systems for older vehicles, mainly v-6 and v-8 applications.  You might call the companies directely and see if the have a L134 application or know of someone that does. 

I have used Edlebrock in the past and had to contact their tech department several times and always had great luck with them.

I have been thinking the same thing! I have been looking into "blank slate" programs that can be set up with all of the various parameters and inputs needed for EFI. I'm thinking about doing port injection, which is a throttle body and injectors for each cylinder.


...then I'm going to turbocharge it  :D

Here is a website I have checked out.

Maybe you can use the throttle body from a pinto, about the same engine displacement.

I want to use all junk yard stuff ($). I've read that older S-10 4 cly. stuff can be used but the computer tuning has me a little bit anxious. Who makes the one that you were thinking of ?
