Hello From Chicago! 1979 Triumph Spitfire EFI Conversion

[SoundPerf01]

Howdy! My name is tom. I've been hearing a lot about this product and the community surrounding it for some time. A friend recently told me i should look into a Rusefi unit for my project. I am VERY familiar with installing and tuning standalone ECU's, as well as carb to EFI conversions in general. I work for local performance shop and we have both 2WD and 4WD dyno's.

My spitfire is pretty much all original. Its got a 1500cc 4 cylinder that made *maybe* 90hp when it was brand new. The car is relatively clean and completely rust free. These cars are famous for being unreliable and having some of the worst electrical systems in history (Lucas). I plan on fixing this bad reputation with a well executed EFI conversion. I am going to have my fabricators build me an intake manifold, and fuel rail using my existing head flange from the stock carb manifold as a starting point. I don't care for DBW, so i will use some type of small throttle body from an old Honda or something.

I am looking for a recommendation on which Rusefi board i should choose for this project. It will be 4 cylinder full sequential using digital cam and crank sensors, and coil near plug smart coils. I will have one cooling fan, and one fuel pump. I would also like to use a OEM Toyota supra idle valve (4 wire stepper) as they flow a TON of air and they respond very quickly. Integrated wideband controller is a must. I will be building a full engine harness for the car (Custom harness building is a big part of my day job) I would like a unit that is already mounted in a case with a common ecu header, but i am more than capable of soldering on a header if the cost difference is significant.

Thanks for reading! - Tom

The UAEFI fits your criteria (especially the WB mandate). The only thing I would recommend is to stay away from the Molex connectors. They have plagued my Jeep build. It's capable of 6 cylinders, sequential fuel, COP or individual coils, 4-wire IAC, Bosch LSU 4.9 WB, even the DBW you don't need. Have a look.
