Bosch Kjetronic-all mechanical-but still pretty interesting)
which in most ways was only really built for v8's;not really adaptable to other engine configurations

Kjet was used on Volvo's in 4cyl and 6cyl configuration and bosch catalogue lists one for v12
you can block off ports in the fuel distributor housingand use it on a 3 ,2 or single cylinder if you realy want to play with one

Thanks for the correction, Jenko but this Is what I wrote correctly quoted...(speaking of the bendix system)

The system was a very simple map based one, crude but kinda backtothefuture like(No to those who are thinking, the DMC Delorean uses Bosch Kjetronic-all mechanical-but still pretty interesting)which in most ways was only really built for v8's;not really adaptable to other engine configurations

yes the v12 kjet fuel distributor was at least used on a v12 maserati iirc.I Have a 4cyl one sitting the shed attached to a volvo B23 series(iirc) 4 I'm scouting around for a 6cyl setup ... commonly fitted to PRV v6's does anyone know of a wreck in a paddock near them? id like to do some experimenting....
and as for Ljet, luft is german for air, referring to measuring air.. with the air flap.

K-Jetronic is not a electric/electronic fuel injection system. It is purely mechanical. KE-Jetronic is mechanical system with oxygen sensor feedback but still I would not call it EFI. Both were constantly injecting systems. They were used in many cars during 80's - for example 4, 6 and 8 cylinder Mercedes engines, 5 cylinder Audi engines...
