Hi, Andrew,
=20
Next time you=E2=80=99re in touch with Darryl, pass on my greetings. He =
probably won=E2=80=99t remember me but many years ago, I met him more =
than once at GKN Autoparts in the UK. I think he worked for the UK =
operation? I was Managing Director of GKN Autoparts International under =
Nigel Walker and Jerry Clancy, both of whom he may remember?
=20
240brake in a TR250, huh? I hope you do a lot of work in other areas to =
ensure the driveline can take that power and torque, and, more =
importantly, the brakes are upgraded!!!!!
=20
The TR5 isn=E2=80=99t terribly complex in itself but the way the PI =
system works is way different to Strombergs. Over the years since the =
fuel injected cars have gained in collector popularity, significant =
strides have been made in setting them up properly so they run as they =
should. Around 2000, when the UK moved over to only unleaded fuel, most =
injected car owners had to have major work done on their metering units =
and mainly because the unleaded additives were collapsing the original =
rubber fuel lines. This led to metering units being reconditioned and =
being reset tto original Lucas specs. However, it soon became clear the =
settings used by Lucas for when the cars were in production was only the =
start of where the adjustments needed to be made. Fitting a new =
reconditioned metering unit was one thing but it was soon determined =
each engine had differing characteristics and mainly on the vacuum =
settings that control the amount of back and forth movement of the =
shuttle within the metering spindle. It=E2=80=99s rather a =
three-dimensional exercise (and an absolute sod of a job in terms of =
unit access to adjust) in getting the vacuum set to suit the individual =
car, while also playing with the varying advance curves on the =
distributor and synchronising the six throttle butterflies to ensure the =
mixture isn=E2=80=99t too weak or too rich across the whole opening =
spectrum. This is a detailed exercise the factory could obviously never =
do in production, although all the Press cars underwent a detailed check =
on a regular basis =E2=80=93 and they were all real =
=E2=80=98flyers=E2=80=99. This whole fandango is best achieved on a =
rolling road under varying engine loads =E2=80=93 and not too many =
enthusiasts have a rolling road near their back door! However, the =
bottom line is that once all this is set and locked and you=E2=80=99re =
running ONLY on NGK BP6ES plugs, you=E2=80=99ll have a car that will =
last a long time without further intervention. If you=E2=80=99re =
considering a TR5 from the UK or Europe, my recommendation is you get =
Darryl=E2=80=99s guys at Racetorations to do all that work before the =
thing is shipped over to you. The only thing to then figure out is what =
the effect of the higher levels of ethanol you use in US fuel will have =
on running. I think your gas uses far more ethanol than the European =
stuff and this could cause issues that will ideally need reviewing once =
the car is in the States.
=20
As I may have mentioned, my own 2.5PI saloon was power enhanced to UK =
police spec for added performance and this meant the power went up from =
about 130bhp at the flywheel to around 170bhp. This involved a new =
camshaft, a reconditioned metering unit but when first fitted it just =
didn=E2=80=99t run as I=E2=80=99d hoped. Once I=E2=80=99d taken it to =
the specialist guy who reconditioned the metering unit (and in those =
days there were only three companies in the UK) also fitted a Bosch fuel =
pump (essential) we spent all day with it on the rolling road and at the =
end of things when I was about $500 worse off, the car went like a =
rocket. More importantly in the next few years it NEVER went off tune! I =
forgot the number of times I frightened myself while driving it but it =
sure was money well spent!
=20
So, the bottom line here is if anyone desires a Lucas injected car =
they=E2=80=99ll have a ball of fun PROVIDING the final fine tuning is =
done by someone who fully knows the system and has the skill to get the =
best out of it.
However, if a US enthusiast just wants TR5 or TR6PI performance, what I =
said in my last message is to fit carbs, shaved head, new cam and new =
dizzy =E2=80=93 and leave it at that.
=20
Good luck

Hey, Jonmac =E2=80=93 thank you for your email. The story is never =

My cousin Darryl Uprichard* owns Racetorations in Gainsborough and is =
currently building me an EFI engine (dyno=E2=80=99d around 240bhp) for =
my TR250. Should be here by the end of the year. So I will have a =

my stock TR2, TR3B and TR4). I know, it=E2=80=99s getting =
crazy=E2=80=A6=E2=80=A6..
=20
Given I am not a TR6 fan (actually, my wife hates the look of them =
=E2=80=93 and she is incredibly supportive), the only thing I could ever =
want for is a TR5. It will not be anything like as fast as the =
Racetorations TR250, but what a great car to own. But I know nothing =
about the Lucas system =E2=80=93 so here we are again.
=20
I think Darryl may be sending a mechanic over to the US next year for a =
customer out West: if that works out, maybe he could swing by here, =
help finish the 250 and maybe even help with the TR5 (if I get it).

Too much information? Sorry !!
