Home brew adapted EFI

[JShadzi at aol.com]

Michael, since getting a programmable system tuned is tough enough, and even 
tuning an EFI system on a car it came with can be even harder, I don't 
recommend trying to adapt a non-adjustable system to a car that it was not 
intended for.  There is much more to tuning an EFI system than playing with 
fuel pressure.  Granted, you could get lucky, but it will be doubtful you 
will ever get it to really run right.  Unfortunately Audi did not offer any 
EFI applications except for the 20v cars, and those systems are rare and 
expensive.  For under $1k, however, there are a few choices on the market for 
programmable systems.

got to thinking, why not just adapt a factory (Volvo, Saab, whoever) EFI to 
my car? All I would have to do, is get the box, hot wire sensor, and 
injectors, either from a 6 cylinder or a 4 cylinder and add an extra. It 
wouldn't run at the right mix though because its designed for a 4 or 6, but 
by using an adjustable fuel pressure regulator, I should be able to get it to 
run right where I want it. 
 Do I belong in a mental institution?
 Thanks for your time and thoughts
