I'm sure people have asked before....but can a Peripheral Port 13B, fuel injection, managed by a Microtech, be able to be street driven? Like I mean start up in the morning and be able to drive it through the Coffe Time drive thru https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif



So who thinks it can be done.....I'm going to use S5 N/A rotors and I have a 12lbs flywheel for it. and I'm going to put it in my daily driven FC....maybe after I get the motor together, it might not be a daily driven then https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/tongue.png



This is just a thought that crossed my mind.....I'm board lol

define streetable. can you make it so it idles and is drivable on the street? yes. will it be fun everyday? maybe not, that depends on your drive, and you, you big animal

Streetable is all in the eye of the beholder.



One of my customers drives his Camaro around semi-daily all the time. This being a high compression, 5 inches of vacuum at a very ragged idle, 4000rpm stall converter, full roll cage, 18" wide cheater slicks attached to a spool differential Camaro. Not exactly your sister's V6 model.



Meanwhile, I find anything with an automatic to be horrible to drive on the street, and wouldn't consider any fully-automatic, low stall speed car to be "streetable". Yet somehow the majority of people in the US seem to get along just fine.



You won't know until you step up to the plate and give it a swing, you know?

I wouldnt be concerned with the p-port on the street, with a decent ems..Quite streetable, but I dont think the microtech is the ems to use.. You need alot of load points and injector resolution to get good streetability.. I havent use the latest microtech, but the last one i played with, reminded me of tuning a carb with a 5 step metering rod, rather than efi...I know the motec does a fine job on a p-port, but it also does a fine job on your wallet to..

I have a Microtech LT8s right now....

Also, what size of injectors would I be looking for?

i know a guy who streets and cruises his pp 13b....nothing special to speak of. he says there's not a lot of difference between that and a streetport in terms of drivability.



i'd suggest getting a chambered muffler to keep the noise down and a cutout for when you want to stomp on it.

I'll have mine done soon, you can come down to London and check it out.



I don't know about the Coffee Time drive thru though, they use pretty crappy speakers and mikes, I can barely understand them even in the Intrepid. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

I'm gonna make a streetable one!



I need about a year though I'm still building



Not looking to turn this into an EMS discussion but I'm using www.msefi.com EFI controller



pport engine, smaller pports, and still uses centre iron sideports from a 6 port.. custom LIM, bolt on FD UIM and TB..



Should be able to set idle using the side ports with that setup, and then WOT will be alot of fun..
