After approx 3 months of hard yakka,my backyard EFI project
using my original pre-pollution manifold,and VN V8/V6 hardware
and any other Holden bits and pieces i could scavenge from the wreckers and V8 Delco software with modified V6 loom into a V8 loom,
the beast came alive today.It started,idled quite well,and took it for a drive and drives very well with no major hiccups considering no VSS fitted yet.Done a short d/l dump of files onto Winaldl/Winview and will suss out all calibrations so i can modify the files to extract more power/economy/idle/etc.

Project was done because i wanted to learn to TIG weld,fabricate my own parts,use ONLY holden bits and pieces i could get/modify,get familiar with Delco EFI hardware/software.
My next step is to learn to modify the files and burn to my memcal.

I could have used all the VN top end and be done with it,but i wanted the challenge and wanted to keep my engine bay semi original in my HJ coupe.

ALL the work was done in my shed/lounge room and the biggest cost was 2 bottles of Argon for my TIG welder.
Cheers....Mario

Hey mario,

I agree I reckon the Delco 808 is a great EFI set up.
im running mine on a Harrop dual plane manifold with EFI hardware throttle body.

I also put mine together from a V6 loom, and all wrecker sourced parts, it sure beats stuffing about w

Ed if you didn't already know,visit Just Commodores.com.au all the info u need on DIY programming for the 808 Delco is there.
Around $60.00 on a programmer and bits and pieces and your up and running.People like Dr.Bob,Greenfoam and Spanners are great fo

thanks Mario,

I wasnt aware of that much cheaper option

Ill check it out.

Cheers

Ed
