So how much difference is there?

Alex If I recall correctly I believe a min of 10 %.

I will look up the cross EV 14 Bosch FI that should cross and I f I recall correctly I believe its a 35 lb injector. Again I have to recheck to be 100 % sure. . The 320 EFI has not been in my hand since many years ago

You never called me back but I still wrote that article plus many articles to this date about marine fuel injection.

The articles that I write for is in magazine print and online print - both. The magazine goes to 3 countries - 2000 copies across that range mostly the USA. . My questions were to you any related EFI build conversions that you wanted to throw into the mix and whatever you and Bob wanted to throw into together. Also since you are up in the cold north compared to what what I see with 90 plus degree water temps and 110 degree weather do your really see Vapor lock like we do.

Granted you do good work and will say great work on your side but if you are referring that I need any of your help with anything-on the marine side that I do - surely you are 100 % mistaken as I am taking your post here plus learned only in the past 2 years. This seems kind of a dog to me and or under the table stab.. Read some of posts thru out OSO and you will see I am no stranger to marine EFI nor the 496 nor for that matter any marine applications.

IF I AM misunderstanding your post then my bad completely 110 %. and I deeply apologize to you 1000 % on my end.
Bob didn't want to do an article with me, you asked him about building efi marine engines, you might as well have asked Stevie Wonder what Mt. Rushmore looks like, so he asked me to get involved. I'm sure you're a fantastic marine technician, not questioning your ability.

At the same test pressure and voltage? Were they new injectors?

It was the dynoed part that Bob wrote about as he did for the article - I can pull up the story so you can see that part of it and he wanted you and recommended you to be called upon on your side for the efi conversions about the aftermarket side since we both knew you were doing the Holey conversions - Ask him about it - if you still talk to him. I have no idea if you still stay in touch with him. Hell he (Bob M) is the one that gave me your phone number and wanted me to call you.to include the efi conversions in the mix

The article at that timeframe was to included who wanted to write or add info the mix about the EFI aftermarket conversions for Marine set ups. Jeez I am giving you a compliment here as I also wanted to include how many conversions you have installed and your feed back for the story. Plus this was another way to get your name out more into the marine market place.

But please really you are saying that I called you needing all this info about fuel injection . That is not true at all. Again unless I am taking you wrong here. .

I realize Bob M is not the go to guy for EFI and I never asked him to build me any engine for me nor for a story nor for anyone else especially an EFI engine. He would state that as well plus he would not claim to be the go to guy for EFI. He told me you did alot of EFI aftermarket conversions for marine apps.

Like I said Bob M told me to call you for the EFI conversions to included in the mix and since you were doing the Aftermarket Holley set ups. You know if you sit in on OEM Merc EFI training classes they would say to they are blue in the face that these auto aftermarket EFI - ECM / fuel injection systems will not work well compared to their offers. I AM NOT SAYING THIS but the OEM's have stated that many of time. Hence the reason for my EFI aftermarket article that is being used for marine apps. Thats it in a nut shell.

I have taken Merc EFI classes, and the instructors there were also under the impression that marine injectors are different then automotive, but had no knowledge as to how many lbs/hr they flowed, or what made them different, etc. Just sayin, the injector has no idea what it's in,

Maybe your email was confusing.

"Bob here is the latest magazine that is out. I write in the performance corner section. It just hit the net yesterday to the a lot of the marine industry people.

If you can talk about as far for the EFI / MPI over coming / the mapping issues along with volume of air limitations and fuel limitations as a professional marine engine builder that would be great. Also anything else about building a EFI/ MPI engine from the stand point user friendly for the waterways (docking) (WOT) and so on also longevity obtainable, it will make for a great story. Also include your pics and the scripts like you see here in my story.

I wanted to give you an idea of what the magazine looks like plus how we have to keep adding a part II and III and so on for now until the magazine grows bigger. Also do not forget to give me whatever marketing info about yourself and company wants to be included into the story line.

Story part 1 by me is only basic to slightly medium depth so now we have to pick it back with part II with some real depth and move forward from there. Thank you John"

Post 67 of yours ---- I know and will agree with that as to what you are posting ^^^^. I am not trying to battle with you but feel that I have to more than enough rewrite alot of this in a explanation about why I did call you one time and one time only. I know what you do and especially on the efi aftermarket conversion side no doubt about it.

I have done FAST systems, a few Holley systems only and 1990's EFI old stuff just installed the cheaper carb set up because the end user did not want to spend the 1000's for EFI conversions nor the OEM / MEFI 4 adaption if needed to be. take care

Post 68 of yours

Yep as Bob was going to get your info as that is the email HE SENT TO YOU - I did not send that email to you. I knew Bob M was going to ask you for info about the EFI cob=nversions that you did. After that Bob M then gave me your number for whatever if you wanted to included for the engine builds using after market EFI systems.

My story was to show that it is being done and there are people building them not just my words but already being done out in the market place. The magazine goes out to many who just work on OEM systems and thats all they know so the story wanted to show what else is taking place.for efi conversions. The email to Bob was whomever wanted to give that info and he sent to you plus recommended you to me. Then he gave me your number to call. Again that its and hope this clear that up
