[DML] Re: EFI? Megasquirt?

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For all of the effort, time, and money spent on these kinds of
conversions this could all be better spent getting the J-Jet running
well. Once you finish these kinds of modifacations who can service it?
The final outcome is in many ways determined by the competance of the
installer. Most who do it have never done one and this is the FIRST
ONE!!!! It will not make the car more saleable or worth more, it will
not produce much in the way of added performance, and depending on how
good a job the insaller did it won't make the drivability any better
(probably worse, especially the cold drivability). About the only
significant improvement *might* be slightly better gas mileage. It
will certainly be a lot more complicated! Many do not give enough
credit to the K-Jet. It is a relatively reliable and rugged system. It
does age and some parts need to be replaced over time and it is very
susceptable to dirt. The biggest problem it has is people that work on
it and do not understand how to set it up and get it working properly.
Once set up right and running properly it is very efficient and
robust. Unless you are going to make a lot of changes to the stock
motor, staying with the K-Jet makes a lot of sense.
