Triumph-V8 Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 Hi everybody, got a hint from a friend and found this forum very interesting. I am Triumph owner for over 30 years and bought now a new toy a red Triumph TR6 US carb type for conversion to EFI with MS 2. Hopefully I can improve my English a little bit, too, so please be patient and give me a hint if something sounds completely crazy....... Andreas from the middle of Germany (NRW)
Nick Jones Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 Hi Andreas and welcome. I have two Megasquirt converted Triumph 6s (Vitesse 2L and 2.5PI) and a friend of mine has just started work on his TR6. There are quite few that have been done now so finding information and advice should be no problem. Your English is much better than my German! Cheers Nick
Martin Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 Hi Andreas, welcome from the middle of Germany as well (RLP, but far north). EFI habe ich mich wegen TÜV für den GT6 nicht getraut, also werden es Weber werden. Cheers Martin
James Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 Hi Andreas! You might like to check out a website I put together when I converted mine to EFI. https://sites.google.com/a/mintylamb.co.uk/triumph2000efi/ I hope it is of some use and saves you some time. James

Cheers Martin Hi Martin, ever thought about starting with the WEBERs & TÜV and than convert to WEBER throttle bodies for injection? BILAS makes them still in Germany and all is ready to fit with WEBER DCOE pattern. No doubt, not worth for the power increase but a nice workout and a good start to EFI. Clubmember of me has a very fast GT6 with 2.5 PI technology. Hope to hear about your progress in the future! Andreas

James Hi James, I found these pages before and believe me or not: I tried out a lot of similar things already. The idea with the catchtank was also realised by me parallel!!! The fuel rail from Ross was aknowledged to late otherwise I would have taken this, too. I wanted to catch the rail with a tin bracket and tie down but yours is much easier and looks good. I was ready with my welded rail from steel. But I decided to make another when I saw yours and the idea with spacers is brilliant! The only difference is that I am going to keep the six single throttles and have the poti attached to one unit What is still missing is a msq startup file. Can I get one from you? regards andreas
Martin Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 Hi Andreas, even triple Weber for the GT6 is a problem, as there is no reference for the TÜV at present for me available . Of course, once Weber´s in the papers, ther might be ideas Martin

Had to learn how to use this forum but now can add something here. Had to log-in first *smile* and than get some more buttons to choose from to press! regards andreas
