and the samba exspurts says it wouldent work...

[Onceler]

I think there’s a decent sized market for these for ac VW’s and I like the plug and play aspect. However, I’d rather see Holley work with E red and develop a system specifically for air cooled vw’s that way there is one point of contact 5 years down the road, instead of 2 entities passing the buck, assuming there still are 2 entities still in existence. Also, dual itb’s with the plug and play would be the shite

Or a single TB set up with the injectors at the intake valve... like VW did... as an option to replace to stock system that we can no longer get parts for...

Needs four injectors mounted in the end castings...........

[Lingwendil]

Yeah, end casting that are machined for injectors that arent super costly would be a great thing for us, but nobody seems to be interested enough to get the cost down due to low demand.

Need replacement filters for original Kadron aircleaners? WIX #42087 is a perfect fit, as is Napa Gold #2087!

CB has their stock style injector end pieces back in stock. For the price they charge you can't mess with trying to build your own.

aint it amazing what you can do if you dont live in the dark ages. thanks Eric for the replies!! your first reply pretty much nails it. and is like I like it. "do it once, do it right ,be done and go have fun and forget about it." remember your vw does not know it is not a dodge viper, GT 40.

I installed a holly efi( first gen of them) long ago on a undrivable hodge podge of old race parts somebody had thrown togeather.massive heads small motor, made for 9000 rpm, The owner bought it like that, he had if for quite some time never getting to drive it due to the nature of the beast. so H brought it to us to tame it. with a few minor cnanges and the holly "bolt on" efi. it was a totally different beast. smooth idle, no fouled plugs no fuss joy to drive. and we his the tuner under the dash so nobody could eff with it. I was sold on them with just one install. Im sure 15-20 years have really improved them over that one we put on. I wish holly would make a afordable webber ida/idf bolt on kit or 2. and possiably the side drafts too.

One thought about this is the price. As near as I can tell the next cheapest FI kit runs about $2900 vs. about $1900, other pros and cons aside.

Another thought is that this appears to be the only FI kit suitable for a single port engine.

GM had "port" injection through the 80's. Carb body with an injector placed overhead where the throttle pump nozzle sits. Super cool mod for stock-ish builds. Just make it affordable.

Running "port" jet on a sgl port is no problem. You just need 2 injectors running double cycle. You will need to fabricate your own end casting of course.

Eric.....I do not know you.....or your business.

I have been asked about the holley kit many times.
And you know how to modify it to work on vw.

Of course you know it's selling feature is it's auto tune. No knowledge required. Now that you have it working for vw I want to point people towards you as a source for a functional kit.

Please pm me a name or contact or business name......something to send people too.
I have been directly contacted and asked about the holley kit just in the past couple days.

I have one of the CIS K-Jet systems sitting in a box in my garage.

I am pretty sure that a set of four electrical injectors which I also have fit into the CIS injector holes in the end pieces of the manifold.

My thoughts are that the wonderful Bosch mechanical/steampunk metering valve assembly might be better replaced with an ECU.

Keep the centremount throttle body.
