Mexican EFI ??
Does any one have this? I would like EFI on a 1600 TP and thought this may be the go say Mexicam running gear with a aftermarket controller.
I seem to remember Dave toying with this some years ago? Mitchell

I don't think mexican beetles had EFI??
and most EFI beetles in the USA have been changed to carby and the heads with small valves replaced..
they also had a habit of catching on fire...
but a mexican engine with EFI from something later would probably be ok

I like the potential of this idea. I assume that the intake runners would strangle the motor on a larger capacity mtor. Would that be correct?
Other tha that loads cheaper than other FI options I have been looking at, like the CB kit and local manufacturers like Injection perfection etc.

I was also thinking that this could be a viable alternative, http://www.cbperformance.com/catalog.asp?ProductID=278, as it seems to eliminate the need for an aftermarket computer like
a Haltech. Anyone have any knowledge of these systems and how they perform?

That wasn't the one, but that's probably a better option.
As I see it the cb kit has been designed to work together. Building a system using the mexibeetle intake system will still need an ecu. You can get a
haltech for about $1000. There are a bunch of other parts that will be needed but the big thing is all the dyno tuning that will add cost.

You dont need a dyno to tune, just add in the cost for a wideband o2 sensor and most systems will auto tune to target a/f ratios these days on the
street. Even the cheap charlie Megasquirt system of mine does that.
