I would still consider 3 injectors and place them as far away from the ports as possible to get better fuel mixing. I am using 12P on a TBI with 2 injectors and it works a treat.

plenty of room there to drill the injector into the head :P as long as you dont hit a water jacket :P

I had originally tried to get 2 injectors on each inlet runner but they simply arn't wide enough so went with 1 per inlet .My thinking at the time was that as all the injectors squirted together(hope i have this correct)then it may still work.Also have made a straight fuel rail for simplicity so mounting 3 in a line was easier .I was aware there would still be a question of getting enough fuel out of the three injectors only and pulse width etc.Im not sure if its relevant but this setup uses 3 Toyota 4AGE 20 valve throttle bodies.Yes the idea of putting the injectors in the head had gone thru my mind ,something for another engine maybe.Really appreciate everyones input on this,thanks.

Another issue with siamese ports is AE, rather than fuel sitting waiting for the valve to open on each cylinder the first to open gets most or all of it (and pulls more of the condensed fuel from the intake), then when the shared cylinders intake valve opens there is bugger all left sitting waiting.

There are two modes of AE in operation all the time, one that extends the regular pulsewidth (the manfuel items in 11/12P) and another that adds fuel between normal openings (called async and is dTPS AE ie in carb tuning the throttle pump) which is the one that can cause issues with lean cylinders on throttle changes.

Would this still be an issue if the injectors were moved further away from the port(similar to a carby), or would it introduce other problems?

Am i correct in thinking the fan should run with the ALDL plug ''paperclipped'' between the black and white wires.This is not happening.The check engine light flashes to indicate 12(which i assume means everything ok).I had been told this puts ECU into Diagnostic mode and the fan should go. I think I need to get these basic functions sorted before trying to run engine.Has no engine driven fan.Next will be to tackle the TBI thing.

Just an update .It turns out my Fan Relay was incorrectly wired so was never going to go. Many thanks to VK3800 for the diagnosis and the instructions to wire correctly. Cheers

Missed your reply, just re-read this thread now..
Not sure why, though for some reason I had it in my head the older systems were banked (2x3), not batched (all 6)injection.

Edit:nevermind, dumb a** here took little notice of the title. :roll:

Just an update on this project.We now have a LC2 Wideband fitted and the NVram set to Type J and 6 cyl. Engine was very hard to start,took 1/3 throttle
to start and ran rather rough i thought.Is everyone still of the opinion that that TBI is the way to go? I have just read back through the original assembly instructions that came with the NVRam to startback at the start as i seem to remember the engine did originally start and idle.Having been on this for a couple of years now im losing track .Any suggestions out there? The Strombergs on the shelf are looking mighty tempting.
