SuspiciousPizza Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago *This is all just musing, I have no intentions on doing this... For now* I'm in a bit of a lull waiting on my EA82 getting rebuilt and that's given me time to think. I remember seeing an old rally video showing a race spec EA82. The dual-carb setup they had going got me thinking. What if you did a dual setup using two SPFI throttle bodies rather than carbs? From what I remember the carbs on the rally engine were basically set directly on top of the intake ports either side of the engine. I don't have extensive experience with engines and I only have limited experience to base my ideas off of. Regardless, here's what I'm thinking. An N/A EA82 with MPFI heads (for better flow) with dual SPFI throttle bodies. Setup a quad exhaust (would take some tinkering with the internally split single exhaust ports). Most likely setup with a custom ECU (megasquirt or something similar). The power gains wouldn't be what I'd be going after, rather just an experiment using an outdated engine for the fun of the challenge. Any thoughts? Ideas? Book recommendations to help me better understand the math of engine design? I don't remember reading of anyone doing this but I think it'd be interesting to see it done. Obviously there's a lot that'd have to be considered. Injector CC's, how to plumb the cooling system into the throttle bodies and engine block, sensor locations, etc, etc. I'm just thinking out loud here. :] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
