This is as easy as a carb. Maybe easier. It preserves the carb look and it's self tuning. And it's compact. The ECU in in the body of the throttle body Only a couple of wires and an O2 sensor install and you're in business. Installs in a very short time and..... Boost friendly http://www.retrotekspeed.com/products/powerjection-iii/powerjection-iii-system.html
I personally try to do everything with Ford parts from different year vehicles. I have a 302 roller block(95 Mustang), GT40 heads milled .020 (96 Explorer), GT40 intake (98 Explorer), 24# injectors (97 Lincoln Mark VIII), 65mm Throtlebody (2000 Explorer), 70mm Mass Air Meter (95 Thunderbird), 1.7 roller rockers (93 Cobra) and a A9L computer (93 Mustang) the only thing different is the chip I use in the EEC to calibrate my mass air and injectors that I can burn myself. The reason I did it this way is if anything breaks, I can get parts from a regular parts store.
Have you personally used it? I know of two people that have and they couldn't get it to work right. IIRC Retrotek was bought out by Professional Products (?) a couple years ago.
I haven't used it but am planning on buying it. I have talked to the guys who make them. The hard parts are built in China the electronics ECU and stuff are made here. They used to make them completely in the U.S. but according to Cody the cost was too high. He said it cost almost $1000 more to have the Powerjection completely made here. I like it because it's boost friendly unlike the EZ-EFI. Not sure about Holley's kit yet. I have asked other owners and most are happy. The ones that aren't had electrical issues due to ground problems or exhaust sealing problems that threw off the o2 sensor. They have exellent tech support. Bryce gets back to you pretty quick and gives good suggestions. I have visited many forums looking for positive/negative feedback. I am convinced it works. My only worry at this point is long term durability since it hasn't proven itself in that arena yet.
Believe me. You all will get a full report. Might be a few months before I get it. Still finishing my turbo Pinto.
I have installed these on several vehicles. A '73 Chevy truck with a 383, several Mustangs with mild to mid-range performance upgrades, etc. The system can be ordered with either a returnless fuel system or can use a return type fuel system. (I prefer the return type for simplicity.) If you are careful with the electrical system mods and your electrical system is in good shape, the installation is a breeze. It will start up and self learn a basic tune in just a few minutes. You then drive it around town to fine tune the computer. If you have a pretty radical engine combination, you can hook up a computer and edit the baseline tune before trying to start it the first time or at any point there after. I would like to run one of these on my own cars, but personally can't afford it. Instead, I am getting ready to install a junkyard 5.0 FI system. Cost is dramatically lower this way.
I have it on my 71 Maverick and it is great, as stated it self learns and can be adjusted as it starts out with a base tune very easy. I have the return system type which is very easy to install. Talked to Cody also and when I had some questions he gavce great advice. Would recommend this to anyone.
Yeah. Cool to hear. I plan on getting the return style and 75# injector upgrade. Just in case boost is in its future. I read on other forums that electrical interference from badly placed wires (on the installers part)is the primary cause of problems with that system.
