Hi Gav, that's tidily tucked in there ain't it! I know bugger all about these things, having only had a BOA for 8 months or so, but virtually everything I know about it came from the guys on here.
Cheers,

How are you doing the LPG? Injectors? I had LPG on my landy V8 for years, but that was a really simple single (Well, twin, but mixers not injectors) point open loop. Since deciding to go down the Megasquirt route, I'm thinking of using a pair of BLOS carbs, as they're supposed to be only a shade off the performance of multipoint, but without the complication. I've had mixed messages from LPG installers about doing these engines.

Another lovely looking 4i 

My mk2 XR4x4 was BOA powered until I took it all apart, it was much fun but hoping  2wd BOA will be so much more 

Your rear camber is a bit mental isn't it!

It looks so very tidy though, more pictures please!

[Heath Robinson]

 I'd like to do a direct comparison between the blos carbs and an injector setup one day. I'll look forward to seeing how yours runs. Good luck!

Welcome,

You can start your build/project in the general >gallery section if you want.

[mk22door]

Yeah, you should do a build/project thread
