If a FT500 thread starts, I can jump in with some cool stuff whenever needed.

Right now I'm writing an article about the anti-wheelie control and some successful tests we have done at the track using sensor way cheaper than the freaking expensive $600+ Racepak one that most guys in the US are using.
Can't give much details right now b/c it'll be published on a performance magazine, but as soon as we have everything set I can translate it to english and publish it somewhere.

One of the most interesting threads for me and I wish to bring it up again.
FT500 will most likley come in to my life and I am interested in knowing were you source the different +200lbs injectors.
Christiano and Richie or anyone else?
I have been searching for a while now but end up in the 220lbs region or Moran injectors. Now Moran just has all of them Out of stock.
Any other tips?

Not the cheapest options, but a good one: billet atomizer

I am using 4x Moran 500s on the race car, the old cabrio has 8 x 160lb bosch injectors, depending on what you are trying to do and what fuel 2 injectors per cylinder might work better. I think Moran has stop selling there injectors now and I will use the Billet Atomiser that Christiano mentioned in future
And if you are going fuel tech look at the recently released FT600, we just purchased one  Smiley

Follow up question as you guys are so nice in sharing:
FT500/600 needs high impedance injectors or at least more than 7 ohms.
Billet Atomiser are 1.2 ohm.
Do you simply add a large capacity resistor in line?  Not my favorite solution but I know it is one way to do it.

You just need a peak and hold driver for that.

You wire the ECU to the driver and from the driver to the injectors.

Obrigado Christiano!
Looks nice.  A fancy way to pack resistors with some cooling fins?  Cheesy
 But I guess even I fall for it. I will buy that too.

A bit more than a good looking box Smiley , but yeah.
Peak and hold drivers are expensive for what they do, not matter the brand...

We have some cars running them as well, mostly street cars on e85.
For race cars they are a bit slower than the 225 dekas or other big injectors and too sensitive to methanol or methanol+nitro.
But they are good options still. Just need some extra maintenance and care.

Thanks

Fueltech thread?

Should I?
I am now proud owner of a FT500, 8 pc 220lbs Bosch and a 3300 cc VW Pauter Engine.
It will not produce any gigantic numbers to begin with in my dragster but it is all about evolution.
I am deeply impressed with the interface of FT.
My history of EFI started with Motec in 1989 and Another Motec in early 90 and from then on DTA EXP 48, S60 and a Haltech I never used.
This is a totally new World of EFI.

Very cool Brazilian guys!

Very interested in more information on the wheelie Control function Christiano.
