I have a  lot of parts available, but... you CANT just piece together a
Frankenstein  FI system. After you've done all the research and learned 
about
all the  different systems you find out that the best you can do is choose  
a
complete system and convert to that... ie, L jet instead of D or one of  the
new programmable systems that's been ripped off an old Geo or something  
like
that.

Everything is a matched set and A LOT of design went into  it, you can do
some piecing together of things within a given system, like  the T4 D jet I
used on the 2056, I used some D and some L stuff but only  after others had
done the flow tests etc, but it was mainly a D  system.  Its A LOT of work 
to
get it all really working properly. I  did this... what a pain!

With a stock motor, its well worth gathering  what you need, recondition it,
and use that.



>From the sound of it, he's going to d like Max did, and use Mega Squirt.  
This means, he's just mainly looking for the IAD, the runners,  possibly fuel 
pressure regulator, fuel pump and injectors, and may the CHT.  All the 
other parts will come from somewhere else. Max pieced his system  together using 
ford injectors, and a couple of GM sensors. If I remember right,  he's got 
over 4,000 miles on it already (since early this summer). He's also got  an 
altitude issue that he deals with, since he lives in the mountains of  
Colorado (near the 2012 T-3 Invasion site), but the system he's using allows for  
compensation, so he never notices it (now that he got the baseline reset 
;^)).  Also, there are several others that are doing this now, since most of 
the bugs  are worked out of the Mega Squirt. Some versions of it also allow 
for crank  triggered spark too. :O
 
By the way, I have an old Geo. It's a 92 Prizm, and basically a Toyota with 
 a Chevy badge in the grill. :O
