Are frankie and pat having a competition who can have more stuff in their shirt pockets? Lol

I'd love to see you guys build an air-cooled VW engine someday. Been a fan since the days of TNN. Glad too see you guys are still around. Haven't been seeing any new videos and I've been worried the show was canceled. Keep up the good work. You guys rock!! 💪🔥

Megasquirt makes EFI easy. Can run almost any engine. Initial setup is easy and building maps is automatic. Then is self tunes. For $400, it's all you need. My 452 cu.in. FE Ford with 8 stacks runs on a Megasquirt. So does my twin turbo 4.6 Cobra motor in my '32 coupe. The wiring harness tells you were everything goes. Don't pay big bucks for a Holley or other aftermarket system, use the money for other parts of your project.

I’m building a 72 Charger Rally with a stroked 440 (512) cu in with a Fi tech six pack on top. I’ll be putting the engine in soon

Great vid guys. I purchased a Fitech efi for my sb ford project. Looking forward to seeing it run.

Nice video!

Solid overview. Most of the off the shelf systems now are easy to install and work great. Even if you want to do a fully custom conversion, there are a lot of resources out there to walk you through it.

Just bought a FiTech system for the 350 in my jeep. Excited for the improved drivability.

awesome information as always ! keep up the great work!

Great episode, thanks!

The biggest part fpr me and others is making a high pressure fuel system on older cars. Pump in/out of tank, filters in/out of tank, regulators in/out of tank, fuel /return lines, connections, power to all etc. If I was power nation/engine power I commit a whole episode or several to setting up fuel systems for several common setups so people see how to do it. We learn massive indepth engine building techniques from ypu guys but I seem to miss the fuel stuff. So an example one of my boys 1998 vortec roller cam 350 rebuilds. NO hole for m3chanical pump. My children want an old school hotrod with some minor new stuff like roller cam. Now they are stuck with an electric fuel pump. Takea the fun out of it not knowing what to do there for them. Fuel systems! Please.

Good stuff. Thanks guys

I definitely need this in Colorado high altitude

That 225 looks mint!

I fit a A/F gauge to my 360 engine with a 750 holley. I was shocked at the readings. Once you drive about part throttle, backing off with high vacuum situations, throttle roll on's I couldnt believe what the carb was doing. Looked good at full throttle but its those other situations. I went EFI after that because I knew I'd never get the carb the way I want it.

For any application you should run port EFI if there's a dual runner intake manifold available for the engine that meets your power, and emissions, goals. Historically that has been the greatest obstacle, particularly with port injection, because port injection needs a dual length runner manifold to take full advantage of its capabilities. If you have that manifold, you can run a wide LSA, that allows it out perform as well as run cleaner and smoother than a dual plane carb or tbi setup with a narrow LSA from idle to peak torque. It can also be set up to outperform a dual plane carb setup past 7000rpm at the same time. All of that isn't possible with a carb because the fuel won't distribute properly through a dual runner intake, and you have to run a narrower lsa to get the power.

I got that exact dual quad system and it never ever worked. No one, but no one, could ever get it to work either. Took it to 2x dyno tuners and both of those were just left scratching their heads. Tried to return it and they said it was an installation error for which they can't be held responsible and they won't accept any returns. I'm a qualified mechanic the installation was 100% perfect. So fast forward turns out all the onboard ECUs were faulty subject to a class action in California. They try and sell you a new ECU even though the EFI system never ever worked, they knew there were problems and they treated me like I was the problem. Completely unethical in my view. Also the manufacturer never mentions that their dual quad system doesn't fit on latest SBC dual quad manifolds - apparently that isn't their fault either but mine. The anger is coming back, a very bitter experience.

Loving the videos guys if it’s possible could you do some more videos on straight 6 builds like you guys have done in the past 😊

Guys I absolutely love your informative show!! I recently converted my 1972 mustang to a throttle body style efi. It’s a 4 bolt main 4v Cleveland engine with original iron open chamber heads 9:6:1 compression. What is a good afr for light cruising?? Thank you very much

Can you guys show how to go from factory PCM and EFI to carbureted crate engine. I'm considering building a copo Camaro 2010. . Should I leave the wiring hanging? Remove the check engine light . Or go with an early 70s harness

I'd love to see you guys do an ITB build 😊

Would like to see a complete conversion of a sniper or equivalent put on a stock efi Ford 300

i got the edelbrock proflow 4 for my 1969 390 javelin ....just for easier start ups and more driveablilty .. since i live close to the cascade mountains alot of elevation changes

At 1:00 where the "Boosted 4.3L V6" is shown running up, you can see fuel dripping off the throttle body linkage.

The answer is yes.

When yall done the 4.3 was it already fuel injected or not when yall put the efi system on it

I would love to see you guys do a few ford 2.8 v6 and the taurus yamaha 3.0 v6

I can imagine Pat getting ready in the morning with all those pens in his shirt pocket 😂

Iv always wanted to see a full build and find max horse power on a 455 with just a single carb, the biggest carb. No boring. Thanks

Why do BBC cranks have a counterweight for every throw, versus an SBC where the middle counterweights are missing?

The basic stuff that most gear heads know. But nothing fun like how it affects the idle quality of big cams, pros and cons of different brands of port fuel injection and throttle body injection.

Ford Barra 6 pot turbo. You will love it, just keep winding her up.

good vic explaining how the after market EFI components work and what can be done,but the title of the video gives the impression that you would cover the pros n cons of the EFI conversion . It would have been much better , if a comparison between a carburetor and EFI engine had been included , as well as when the cost is worth the effort.

I need to see a Straight 8 build and an EFI Ford 300 inline 6 build from mild to turbo monster and I've got one I'd love to let yall build for me.

Wouldn't the distributor magnetic pickup be the crank and cam signal. Same signals as cam and crank sensors. Also can be tied in to a MSD

Aces EFI is set up for blow through or through draw . Supercharger or turbo no problem

How much confidence do you guys actually have with the "auto tune" thing? Especially on a TBI deal with one O2 sensor.

Grat vid guys but what about older engines I have a 41 CJ-2A with the flat head still and I would love to upgrade the Carb to even a simple throttle body but have found nothing for older engines like flat heads so why not a custom build on a old flathead one day with new equipment such as Throttle body and Electronic timing ... Thanks

Excellent video. Is this new content or is it stuff from the past? Thanks

Frankie & Pat, please continue these wonderful videos. #Powernation - please do not squash these wonderful videos and personalities. Could y’all do some older 4cyl EFI conversions? I’m talking 60’s & 70’s ignored and forgotten 4 cylinder engines into the modern era. Pontiacs, AMCs, the “off” stuff.

I would be curious to see you guys do a corvair engine.

To answer the 'Question' in the Video Title.... Only if you plan on walking after the Solar EMP. .

Does anyone besides Edelbrock make a multiport EFI kit for a small block Ford that includes the intake manifold, distributor, etc?

I would love to see you guys do an episode, about the legality of frame swapping. I’ve seen an episode where a unibody car was set on a chase frame, but you guys have never touched on things like cab and frame swaps for body on frame vehicles like a 1949 Ford F-1 to a say 1990 Ford F-150 Frame.

I have a 1989 ford van that is already efi but the electronics and wiring are bad, can I hook up one of these to a car that's already efi?

EFI is the only way to go.

Have you seen the 2barrel or single barrel from FAST.

I’d like to put that leaning tower of power in something like a 32-34 ford streetrod!

Could I use this efi system to eliminate the spider injection system on a 4.3 motor

A question if you please? Can a throttle body type EFI like the Holley Sniper be rigged to use Propane instead of Gasoline???

I love efi for the street but im a boat guy and will take a carb and distributor on a mild setup any day of the week. Keep it simple

How about a Pinto wagon project with a turbo 4 banger. 😂😂😂😂 It would be interesting how to get around oil source for the turbo.

The problem is, who makes quality O2 sensors? There I said it

I used to love you guys man! How could ya?

Does anybody think you can get better mpgs compare with a stock gm tbi

now this might be a way out of the box request but if any of the power nation shows remember late 90s to 2000s nascar restrictor plate racing, i would like to see one of those engines being torn down and then rebuilt with and run on the dyno with and without the plate to see the discrepancy in horsepower, and also hear that awesome sound and let powernation experience that also

Aces EFI doesn't need a crack or cam trigger. Hand held or top tuning.

Great video guys 😁👍 Would it be possible to try an upcoming video without any background music please, as I found it distracting from what you were saying?

Aces EFI check them out. Top notch 64 bit.

Can you guys do a dual injection engine? Take a LT from Chevy and integrate port injection. Direct injection makes valves full of carbon. You could only clean them with fuel or put more fuel and force air in this new dual injection makeup. Toyota already has developed and is selling dual injection engines, so is Ford, Subaru and the Volkswagen group, so it's possible, but more complicated.

More work to do something like Speeduino or Megasquirt, but you'll save literally thousands of dollars over Fitech/Holley/Etc. plug and play. No disrespect to those who want something more turnkey, but part of why I like working on my cars is the process, not just the end goal.

Build a 454 with a Holley sniper 2 EFI set up build a mild and a wild build 500hp and a 1000hp

Most of the build is inline 6 n v8/v6, wish u build 4 cylinder engine for next project

edelbrock pro flow 4 is the way to go

What about direct injection?

How to do an EFI Conversion: 1. Spend $2000 to boost pressure and buy Throttle Body. 2. Call customer support to get it to run 3. Take to local EFI Guru to make it idle. 4. Drive and Enjoy. 5. Call tow truck when EFI brain dies. 6. Repeat steps 1-4. 7. Call Tow truck again. 8. Buy Holley Carb w/ manual choke 9. Enjoy Car again

How about a 318 la engine build

A EFI "swap" I haven't seen is taking a 88 and up Chevy which is TBI 5.7 and getting rid of the old crap and swapping in a new TBI system. The old OBS trucks are popular but the old original TBI systems are craptastic at best, the wiring is old, etc etc.

#1 thing to know- avoid the Holley Sniper system at all cost! Especially on a SBC engine. I think they fixed a few of the issues with the Sniper 2.

Build an olds 303 rocket!!!!!

I'd love to see a Chrysler/Dodge 4.7L OHC V8 build.

You've got it reversed. Question is, should you de-EFI/ go carb?

I'm not allowed! The old timers will beat me with cane's!

No point with NA unless you go to a good tuned runner length fi dry manifold.

It's proven that EFI is better than an old-fashioned carb. Watch the Engine Masters episode. Get with the times ya boomers!

I wish Frankie was my neighbor

For the price of a Sniper plus EFI fuel tank, it seems like doing an LS swap would be better.

Oh! That means i can run a nice thumping cam

Water injection

Switched to Holley Terminator X and dont look back. No comparison to a dinosaur carb.

Front ram BBC intakes are absent!!! Too many LS intakes. Too many Center intakes! RAM EFI FTW!!

It bears mentioning that a lot of port EFI systems pulse all the injectors simultaneously, all dispensing the same amount of fuel. In my mind, that's hardly worth the extra expense over a TBI system. Just my $0.02.

Just some comments... 1) they are not "Self Learning" - They will adjust the air fuel mixture based on targets in the base map either supplied with the unit or that you set 2) None of the aftermarket systems do any adjusting of the timing curve. that is set in the timing table. 3) none of the aftermarket systems "Learn your driving habits" they will adjust your fuel mixture in the areas of the fuel table that it operates in. I have been a long time viewer of both the KZfaq channel and the television show, you have missed the ball with this video. My background is an Automotive Engineer specializing in EFI and Drivability. Normally your info is good but not so much on this one. I do custom EFI installations and tuning and her this same misinformation as outlined above from the owner of any system that i am hired to correct. On one count you are correct, it is much easier to make all sorts of adjustments in an EFI system, but most of the entry level throttle body systems (FAST, FITech) cannot be tuned thoroughly using the supplied handheld and do not have a provision to plug in a laptop or work outside the supplied hardware. The Holley systems do. Either by pulling the microSD card or directly plugging in to the unit with a laptop. Sorry for the rant but you need to check your facts better.

Hard to belive some one on the payroll.

Ok, hold the phone for a second. One thing they DID NOT MENTION. Make sure you call a tech line or find a reliable source that you trust to answer one of the most basic questions that some A/M companies DO NOT MENTION. This is what you ask them verbatim, "Is it tunable on an Aftermarket Duel Plane Manifold?" I cannot tell you how many times this issue comes up. One more thing. DO NOT put on a carb spacer until the basic parameters have been set and verified and you are comfortable with tuning the system. Last but not least. DON'T OVERTHINK IT. The computer only needs the basic information to enable a base map. You try and spoof the computer for some odd reason and you are gonna chase problem after problem. This is where the older generation has issues.

You lost me at O2 sensor

Efi has gotten a lot easier these days. The self learning fuel maps didn't exist. Wiring.. was following a shitty diagram.

These guys and their front pockets 😂 unreal

Too bad we didn't get to see it driving???

Yes but not throttle body injection

A lot of money and work for very little if any gain.

Moral of the story: dont do efi on a slant 6.

BLOWN BBC/BBF

New video idea*** You give a random viewer (me) a really cool car with a built proof engine, for free. :)

Carbs easyer an better at dumping fule. Efi more expensive an tuning all the time money money 🤑

holy crappy audio batman

Real fuel injection has injectors per cylinder n adjust timing in real time. Holley sniper is just a waste just buy a modern car if u want efi.

these EFI units are un reliable,, any brand any model end of story,, many of the parts are chinese and spares are not on every corner like holley carb parts. when i see vehic;e manufacturers using these i will take a 3rd look. and circuit race teams using these, bought a holley kit ,, sold it un opened. a pocket full of pens,, say no more,,,,,, a tool belt like batman had in the 60,s TV series is next,,.

Thay are by no means reliable, and when they get warm it screws with the computer, and there is no fixing it on the side of the road, you are screwed until you replace it, they run good for a while but it's only a matter of time until you're walking getting towed,I'll stick with a good old carb from now on !!

It's too expensive and it's much easier to run with you already have because you've already spent money on it and it works fine there's no sense spending money needlessly on high-priced products from a company that can't guarantee that it will work for years on end like the system that are on your car already
