Mpfi E16 Is Complete!!!

SuperHatch · Jan 10th, 2003, 05:36 PM

Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to introduce to you the first MPFI E16... It's 90% complete and almost ready to go... We replaced all the fuel injectors and it turns out we had a weak fuel system pressure, and I didn't put the fuel pressure regulator on so it won't run right until I do... I'm going to finish up the project tonight and get the little car back on the road again soon. I can't believe I actually got it running.. There was no fuel injector resistor or resistance thing that I had to put inline.. I simply wasn't getting enough power.. But now it's over and soon everything will work perfectly... this is going to be so cool, I'm going to have to put up a website for it... I have slaved so many hours on this thing... the E16 is powered by the GA16DE computer and has the throttle body from the GA16DE bolted onto the E15T manifold, it is larger to accomidate more airflow, the injectors are all stock, but new. The fuel pump is new and from a 91 Ford E350 5.8L V8 the fuel pressure regulator is from a 1984 BMW 318i and is also new... It idles at 600 rpm for 5 seconds and then cuts out.. however I do not have the fuel pressure regulator hooked up yet... which is why it won't hold an idle.. but if I block off the return line, the pressure builds up and it will run rich and only idle if I open up the throttle... but it runs...when I attach the fuel pressure regulator tonight it should hold an idle and run... no more problems... hopefully. I encourage all of you to ask questions to me because I'm sure most, if not all, of you E16'ers will want to make this upgrade as I'm sure we will see a 10hp boost because everything is much more precise. I will post further updates on my accomplishments later on. Special thanks goes to Jessica Grenier (my girlfriend who bought the computer, fuel injectors and a bunch of other stuff) and Richard Lawrence who helped my set the computer right and everything hooked up properly... I'll post pics later... -Chris

Very nice work. We now have TWO options for modifing the crappy e16i injection system

hehe, That's amazing. Still have to get it on the road and see if the computer will adjust the fuel curves to suit that engine properly. But if it does, hot damn. I'd love a web page with as much detailed information on every step of this as you can give. Sounds like a great upgrade.

Oh hey, make sure you have a brand new oxygen sensor installed when you go to test drive this. Don't try to get away with an old one, the oxygen sensor is going to be VERY important to get this computer to (literally) learn this engine.

Purhapse something like this can be done with the b12? I wonder how much power a MPFI system would give the good ole ga16i, then maybe the few mods that are available for this car will actually be worth it.

umm....the e16 is in the B12 too.

Sorry, I tend to forget that. My b12 has the ga16i so that's what I think of when I think of b12.
