The New Suzuki Quadracer HQ Welcomes All LT500 Quadzilla, LT250, LTR450, LTZ400, LTZ250, LT80 owners to the Suzuki Quadracer HQ forums
Saw that starpuss is planning on attempting efi on his Zilla build. Looked at some efi 2 stroke conversion kits on the web starting at $599 for 42mm throttle body for 400-800cc 2 stroke single cylinder engines. Is this really something that is doable? I mean the benefits f efi are far greater performance and reliability wise to that of carborated engines. Is this something I should consider with my Zilla build? If its as simple as it seems why hasn't more people been doing it? Excuse me if I'm way wrong I'm not the most knowledgeable regarding engine building and such and I'm the first to admit that. Just thought this topic should maybe be breached in depth so I can learn all the options I have for my build. Thanks
It's not practical for an efi system to be installed on a 25 year old two stroke engine. The injection systems that are used on two strokes engines today require TBap sensor, exhaust temp sensor, crank position sensor, engine temp sensor and and a control unit with a very intraget fuel/ignition mapping. That requires a stator that can supply sufficient power. Not to mention the only big gains would come from a direct injection that requires injectors to be installed directly in the transfer ports. Cylinder disgn and port setup changes dramatically with a setup that would give you any tipe of big gains. Fuel injection is very temperamental with mods. If you start changing pipe set ups, port timing, even a open airbox. The control unit would need reprograming or a piggy back control unit. Sounds good but not practical.
Motor geek - on the ecu's you were involved with, what manufactures were they?Where they mapped on throttle position vs rpm or boost/vacuum vs rpm?Chuck D - I agree with your comments but if you made and changes to a carb'd bike engine it would still need rejettingThe engine already has a crank sensor fitted to work the electronic ignition, all I can see that would be needed to work the ecu would be throttle position sensor, air temp, water temp and possibly map sensor and a battery with charging system.
Would love to see a efi lt500 on a dyno and what kind of hp can you see out of it
