: Multiport EFI for an inline 6?

Long time no see. I told you guys I'd pop in every now and then :D

I'm thinking about venturing into the world of electronics for a new project. Does anyone out there make a good multiport EFI setup for an inline 6?
My Google-fu is weak today... I'm not coming up with much.

If not, is it possible to adapt a V8 kit to a 6'er? Or what's involved in starting from scratch?

Find a manifold with Nitrous boss flat spots. You can them use those spots for injector bosses. There's blank rail kits available, and a controller could probably be adapted-I would assume one set for a 6 cyl could be set to read as an inline instead of V.

Worst case, you could use a 4bbl type throttle body in place of a carb. Might need a 2bbl to 4bbl adapter.

How do the TB injection system react with forced induction? Just as good as multiport?

Anyone have any info on the Mega Squirt systems?

Inline 6's have by nature a very poor air/fuel distribution . Changing over to port fuel injection would really improve things. Perhaps you could adapt some of the efi stuff from a V6, like the Buick 3800 motor. The injection system does not care what the engine style is and the only thing that comes to mind is firing order differences (like the uneven spacing on the V6 vs unifor spacing of the inline motor).
