Parts List

This is an incomplete list of the parts needed. Other parts from other cars will work, depending on their specs. My suggestion is to read the appropriate tech page before making a part swap. Start your search by looking for similar sized motors in the donor car.

Please help update the make, model, year, part info.   If we can make a list of what other cars have what parts we will all have an easier time of finding what we need. Keep track of the prices you pay also and email them to me at tkirkwood@dune-buggy.com

Items to bring to the Junkyard

  1. Don't forget this parts list.
  2. Tools - socket set, cutters, wrenches, hammer, screw drivers, etc.
  3. Hacksaw - it may be easier to cut the exhaust pipe under the car rather than unbolting it.
  4. Socket extensions, and socket swivels
  5. Flashlight, mechanics mirror - to read info off turbo and to look for hidden bolts
  6. Some kind of measuring device to measure butterfly
  7. Floor Jack. In case you need to remove the turbo bolts from underneath.
  8. Penetrating Lubricant - hint: spray the bolts ahead of time especially exhaust bolts
  9. Gloves
  10. Pen and Paper - make note of vehicle make, model and year
  11. Drinks

Parts List

EFI Controller:
Tim Systems EFI controller

As of Late 2003, this controller is no longer in production.  The information on this site is general enough to apply to other aftermarket EFI systems. If you are not afraid of a soldering iron, then look into the DIY Megasquirt Kit at www.megasquirt.info

Contact Tim Van Setten of Tim Systems at timsys@msn.com - 4 Cylinder Turbo Fuel Injection Controller $500 (The non-turbo model is $400, but that's not as fun)

Controller Wiring:
Tim Systems EFI Wiring
You can make this yourself from connectors scrounged at the junkyard.  The one pictured is from Tim Systems. They are cheap and well worth the money unless you have easy access to the wire and connectors. ($40)
Turbo:
T04 Turbo
Please refer to the turbo page and print that out to bring to the junkyard with you.
Expect to pay between $25 and $100 for a boneyard turbo.

Rebuilt Turbos around $200 or you can buy rebuild parts.

Fuel Pump:
Bosch Fuel Pump
Bosch Fuel Pump (needs testing - read fuel page) $10-$20
VW Fuel Injected Rabbit, Volvo, Mercedes, BMW, Audi (with mechanical fuel injection)
(Test with a 12 volt battery at the junkyard to be sure it spins up.)
Fuel Pump Block-off Plate:

This is something I had laying around. You can make one pretty easily or just remove the fuel pump push rod and bolt the pump back on.
Fuel Pressure Gauge:
Fuel Pressure Gauge
Summit Racing Fuel Pressure Gauges 

Sum-800160 ($20)

For tuning purposes you will want something to tell you your fuel pressure. You do not need to see it while driving though.

Fuel Filter:
Fuel Filter
Any steel filter for a fuel injection car should work. I chose a Fram 10 Micron filter from Summit. ($40) It has a replaceable element. It's heavy and big and maybe a little overkill.s
Rising Rate Fuel Pressure Regulator:
Bosch Fuel Pressure Regulator
Bosch part # 0 280 160 001
Standard part # PR 130 ($40)

Used after 1968 on the Bosch D-Jetronic cars: VW 68-73 Type III, Porsche 70-76 914 1.7L or 2L, Saab 69-74, Volvo, Renault 72-74.

(Unit must be modified for rising pressure rate.)

Tim Systems sells modified regulator for $50.

MSD repackages the above regulator with a pressure port already in the adjustment screw. Search Summit Racing for Part # MSD-2222 ($61)

Injectors:
(grab the electrical connectors to the injectors also)
Fuel Injectors
Refer to the injector page for the full blown application chart. Expect to pay about $5 a piece. Get more than you need and choose the 4 that have the closest flow rate.

Tim Systems sells 4 cleaned, flowed and tested injectors for $150.

Injector Bosses:
Fuel Injector Bosses
Plumbing compression fittings are the cheapest way to go. The fittings in the picture are 3/8 compression fitting on one side and 1/2" pipe fitting on the other. These can be soldered or brazed to the intake or you can tap a large steel nut with a 1/2" pipe tap and weld that to a steel manifold.  You can also purchase injector bungs from MSDignitions.com or other places. 
Throttle Valve/Butterfly:
Before:
Throttle Body Before Cleanup

After:
Throttle Body After Cleanup

When you are junkyard shopping look for one that can be mounted easily. Ignore the idle bypass lines and do not use a dual plate progressive throttle. That will confuse the controller.

($5-$10)

2276cc and up 2 to 2 1/2 inch Butterfly
2"  Mid 80s Escort, Tempo, Taurus, Bronco II, Ranger Pick-up
