Hi guys,
First post on the forum!
I'm looking to convert my TR6 (currently dual ZS Carbs) to a modern EFI system. I have already purchased a complete Speeduino v .4.3 rev B, and I am looking for a little help in sorting out the pieces I will need to get the project off the ground.
I already have all the various required sensors & manifold (all GM), modified my gas tank for a return line, purchased a Walbro style fuel pump... now it is time to start figuring out how I will wire everything up to work with the Speeduino.
The TR6 is a straight 6 engine; with a trigger wheel and sensor, can I run sequential injection? What should I do about supplying spark? Can I continue to use the existing distributor in the TR6, or should I move to coil packs? The distributor has been converted from points to Pertronix. If I were to move to a coil pack arrangement, which would you recommend? I've read about the EDIS systems, but I have never used them - the most modern spark equipment I have played with was an Optispark on my 95 Camaro LT1.
As for the harness, is there a cable plug with multi colored wires that I can use that you folks recommend? The IDC style cables all seem to be 1 color (or, a band of 6 colors repeated). Or is there a source out there for different auto wire colors I can use to make my own connector?
Any help and knowledge donations are appreciated!
