Been Lurking for a while Ls1 Conversion

My CBR is named FiFi. Which stands for Forced induction Fuel injection. The two big projects I am doing to make her more fun..... It sure will be nice to get rid of those carbs.
Very nice car by the way. It just needs more turbos!
Welcome.

I'm quite sure even a big cam could be tuned out with the factory PCM. We've come a LOOOOONG way since ford EEC-IV!!
That's a friend of mine's LQ9 powered Caprice running a factory PCM. Quite the cam it has... (I don't care either way, Carb'd LSx > myshitty4bangercar any day!)
How the hell DID you cut such a clean hole in the hood??????
Showing your infinite wisdom again, I see.
What, praytell, is that??
Or that??

Those dont look like they're the eaton/aeroquip fire sleeve. Black one does look pretty close to the real deal, but not quite since its too glossy. AEROQUIP FIRE SLEEVE from Aircraft Spruce

If you had an equal budget, invested in an adjustable choke carb, and spent the required time to tune the carb, you would get a whole lot closer to that 482 horsepower.
They never said how much time they spent on the tuning process, or if they run the carb with the stock jetting. There is not that much difference between what a carb will make and what EFI will make. The real difference is the fact that EFI is much more consistant and now easier to work with.

Hey, I have a CBR600 F2 Streetfigter project also! We can chat about them some time!
My CBR is named FiFi. Which stands for Forced induction Fuel injection. The two big projects I am doing to make her more fun..... It sure will be nice to get rid of those carbs.

That hole in the hood was cut by my father using this with a cut off wheel:
At closer examination it's not as nice as it looks from afar but it's pretty close to a perfect circle
Couple of things to consider about that test. First of all, The EFI set up is more expensive than the carb set up. Secondly, the carb used may not be the best size for making the most power.
If you had an equal budget, invested in an adjustable choke carb, and spent the required time to tune the carb, you would get a whole lot closer to that 482 horsepower.

Thanks for the input everyone

Semantics. I read that thread years ago man, I don't remember specifics. All I know was it went broken. Still impressive, IIRC it didn't take you that long to assemble everything together. I have an FD roller at the hangar, been there for years and haven't even started my ls swap in that except gutting it, and selling my drivetrain. lol
So any future plans?

Get back to your FD man, that's my favorite unibody factory body style. If my wildest wishes were granted I'd have a wide body fd with a 4 rotor setup

Meh... FDs are cool...
Mine stateside didn't last too long. I had it running for about 2-3 months.. put it on the lift, yanked the guts out, sold em... and well... yeah. I'll go back to it whenever I'm back stateside every now and then and do little ****. Got a ls2 to put in it, but the old man decided it would better be put to use in the sand rail. So she sits.
Came to Japistan.. decided why the **** not, got another FD. Been headache after headache, finally got every single problem fixed on it, went single turbo and was pushing over 400hp and loved every minute of it... except gas.
Sold it, and pending purchase on a miata out here.
They're cool cars, not for the faint of heart. Paranoia pays, and **** always breaks. Just the nature of the beast.
I'd hate to own a 4 rotor, would sound insane, but I'm done with rotary motors honestly.
