I've a G13A, it's been fully rebuilt and im now sick of my $1100 rebuilt tuned and dyno'd carby. Now for all the people who have done TBI i need your tech heads. this is the list of thing's i know i need and there is one thing im not sure of.
TBI, (single point injection)
Manifold, the 1.3 doesn't have the right bolt pattern for it, i can make an adapter plate but, it will look more stock
Loom, full engine bay, some under dash stuff
ECU
Air hat cleaner thing
O2 sensor
VL high pressure pump
Cap off standard fuel pump
High pressure rubber lines
now it has been put to me that ill need the vss, (vehicle speed sensor) i have no idea why i would need this, as my speedo comes from the Tcase.... Im researching about this, but still need some straight up advice on the situation.

Cheers

The VSS sends a digital signal to the engines ecu relative to road speed
it sends a pulse signal that increases in frequency when road speed increases, much like a ABS sensor

the reason it needs it for such things like lean cruse, operating EGR, mapping changes.

Have heard reports of people having throttle flat spots with G16 16v conversions without this

Car will run fine without it, but the CHECK ENGINE light will come on intermittently and get annoying.

VSS tells the ECM how fast the vehicle is going so it can FINE tune the fuel mixture for a given speed & throttle load.
I want a VSS just to make the bloody check engine light go away.

I just grimbo'd myself.....

You will want to add a surge tank to your list as EFI pumps don't suck well and burn out VERY quickly if run dry.
Fit a lift pump from fuel tank to surge tank and then EFI pump to engine.

Alternatively fit a Coily tank with a Vitara pump/pickup
or
Modify the mounts and fit a SWB EFI Vit tank.
Run a new line for supply and use the original supply as the return.

look at the diagram for whatever tbi you end up with as alot of tbi systems do not require, and have no circuit for a vss.

A small tip, if you were to use a volvo injected fuel pump they have a surge tank attached.

[atari4x4]

+ high pressure fuel filter.

That isn't a surge tank it is called an accumulator. It takes the pulse of of the fuel supply. There is still a lift pump in the tank.

1st question is what ecu are you using to run it? only some need the vss

another thing you need is a fuel reg.

what tbi are you using?

[BlueSuzy]

People have run the 1.6 tbi swift ecu, it would propbably overfuel alittle, but it would hammer..

Otherwise there is alot on outers, 'Megasquirt' for an ecu, and have heard that the old falcooons had tbi as well.

Regulator is built in to the TBI.

alright, can i just get a stock sierra tank and fit a lift pump to it? from a VIT? I know there is TIG involved with this but im going to be putting the fuel filler on top of the tank anyway....

1.6 sedan swift, whats needed? or not needed?

@brett stock 1.6 ecu running closed loop, PLUS congrats to brett for being a dad

cheers everyone for your input

[Brett]

just run a vitara efi fuel pump and you'll be set.

i have a extra vss dash cluster here if you want it?

cheers about the kid as well

I knew night wheeling was always going to lead to something big

VSS unit is on it's way alone with TBI and stuff...

hey im just after a quick answer, im installing the vss biso, and if the stock sierra doesn't have vss from stock then will it activate the vss thingo? sorry for all the crap jargo?

A what??

[31zook]

hmm, i think it's called a reed, so will my stock speedo sensor activate the Vehicle speed sensor?

[royce]

yes, the magnets that make your needle move are what flicks the reed

[31zook]

thanks royce shall complete my vss on tuesday arvo as i broke my swift one...
