Yes, the shipping prize is out of control specially if Fedex, UPS or some other courier Company s used. Usually USPS is the cheapest way but theres some limitation for packet size/weight. Bigger items may need to split into serveral packets.
Yesterday I ordered cylinder from ebay. After receiving it (hopefully it will come this year) the engine can be assembled. Seems the EFI conversion is very hard so I need to consider other ways. I'd still like to try the turbo way
Here's two ways I've been thinking:
1. EFI conversion without changing the magneto/stator. Carb has 210w light coil so if I replace the lights with leds I can save some power for fuel and oil pumps. I tought I'd put small battery which feeds all the electronics and the light coil just charges the battery. Bad thing is carb stator has only one ingition coil and EFI stator has two. So carb ignition coil can't plugged into EFI ECU directly.
2. Turbo the carbed version. Bad thing is I really hate carbs
They are last century relics which should be forget... I really like EFI tuning with some box etc. Clean and easy. OK, got my point, but this is still an option. Bad thing is I don't have any experience of turboing carbs. How you add boost fuel with them?
And last one:
Is stock oil pump good enough to be used as a turbo oiler? This would save some power too.
Made rough calculation of watts for case 1:
+ 210W light coil
- Oil pump 20W
- Fuel pump 40W
- Hand warmers 50W (in Finland you really need these
)
- Head light 55W (yeah, this is needed also here. Led would save a lot, this is stock H4)
- Other lights 5W (leds)
Total 170W/210W
ECU power consumption is not known as well as boost fueler box. How much these two can be? 20W?
