A while back I bought a Pro Jection system from Tacoma for my dad. He already had two older systems, but nothing like what Tacoma was selling, so he wanted it for his new project!

Basically in a lathe and on a table mill he made all new stacks and heli arced all the peices together. Each injector is a high impedence and if you look inside the tube from the cylinder, each injector is pointed directly at the base of the intake valve. All injectors fire at once, this is not a sequential setup.

Usig the same tools, he made some distribution blocks to distribute the fuel to the injectors. Inside the block he attached a TPS sensor to the stock Hilborn setup. So now when you jaz the throttle, the Hilborn linkage all moves like stock and opens every butterfly at the same time. That also sends the signal back to the pro jection computer and it then changes the dwell time on the injector to increase/decrease fuel.

Anyway, here's some pics of it in his old 30 Ford...

That's pretty sweet! And nowhere near as f***ed up as I thought it would be LOL

pics of the F*rd pleeeeease :D

He's oakey, but he does pretty good work. I'm still waiting to see it actually work. On the bench, it does work, but the motor it's sitting on is only block and heads right now. There's really no reason it won't, though.... :D

I don't have any pics of the Ford.... It's kind of a mess right now! The frame is new that he made himself and since he did the work himself, he moved the front axle in front of the radiator - so 2' stretch? Then he moved the rear axle up to the back of the cab. I think overall it's about 12" longer wheelbase than stock and a lot better weight distribution (more on the rear tires now). Also, since he did that, the motor isn't under the tub anymore - meaning there is no large center hump in the middle to clear the tranny.

The tub he sent over to Sacramento and had it acid dipped and then sealed - more holes than it had before :D So now he needs to reskin the doors.

It won't be anything fancy, but he won't be afraid to drive it either. His last one he just sold for $22k to a guy in Woodland? I think?? And it was nothing fancy at all - primered was all. These aren't 'show' cars, however they have won trophies at the fair and car shows. They are old time rat rods, like what the kids of the day were building and racing around town in.
