EFI conversion, has anyone tried it?

I was just wondering, in the muscle car world, a lot of folks have converted from carbs to EFI... has anyone tried transplanting/adapting the newer 800FI stuff to an older VF?

 

Interesting...shouldn't be too hard, high pressure pump, new lines, 800s have ITBs?

 

lots more hassle than its worth. FI usually utilizes larger throttle bodies on bikes than the carbureted counterparts, requires a new wire harness, and the gauges, ECU, essentially a complete rewire. by the time you're done rewiring, retrofitting, tuning and dynoing to get it smooth and dependable, you could have just bought a fuel injected bike instead and had months less headache.

 

Yea you are but there are several of us here that have had a hand in FI for the VF's but there is no way you can run a newer VFR throttle bodies as you found out way to big! Its possible just going to take alot of money.

 

To do all that work designing and building and most likely have the same hp/performance. Might work better when cold and easier to change fuel curve. I doubt you will get it any better than a good set of carbs setup properly. Of coarse the operative word is properly. That's not to mention the cost $$$.

It would be a fun project if money and time is not a problem.

 

There is a company here in buford georgia (HFD1motorsports.com) I spoke with a rep few years back they race a RFV. Dude saw my 500 and we got to talking about pipe dreams one of them was FI for it and the he replied our company is developing a kit for are 400 if you could bring your bike to us we could prototype a kit for you well few things got in the way of making this happen but go to the web site and give them a call couldn't hurt.
