fuel injection conversion

I have a 1980 kz1000e. I have a set of throttle bodies and told I could convert this bike over to mechanical fuel injection easy. If this is true how can it be done?

Mechanical Fuel injection? The only systems I am aware of that are mechanical (on gas engines anyway) are the old Rochester on the late 50's Corvette and Impala, the early Bosche on Volkswagons, and the famous Hillborn injection on the dragsters.

Since your bike is already injected, I would use the MegaSquirt EFI controller with your system, or slap on a set of 82-84 GPz1100 throttle bodies with the MegaSquirt. It would be pretty easy to do.

I have carbs now but was wanting to use the throttle bodies and injection. Is that what the megasquirt is for? I do not want to seem stupid but I am from tennessee.:laugh: haha

Yeah, I forgot they used the Rochester Fuel Injection on the 327 Corvette also. I think 65 was the last year for it, but I'm not sure. 327/375hp wasn't it? 360 or 365 with a Holley four barrel?


On the MegaSquirt. We have discussed it here before, and Dave Sloan is running it on his 650/810 and seems pretty pleased with it. When I get around to finishing my GPz750 it will have the 1100 throttle bodies and MegaSquirt (I already have both).

up to 65 im prety sure the 340 was the carbed motor 360 was fuelie motor.ive heard of the 375hp motor but ive never seen one up close.mine is a 340 hp im pretty sure ,i could pull off tarp and check numbers i guess:P there were also a few 57 chevy factory race cars i think they wetre called black widows (painted black/white)that were few injected.

Do you have the throttles bodies with the injectors mounted on them or those without injectors?

i have the ones without injectors. i was told they came off of a g1 classic not sure though.

I have a set of those off an early GPz1100, bought off eBay by mistake

It would be a lot easier to do if you got some later GPz1100 (82-84) throttle bodies, GSXR will work with some mods and there are a lot of those available. It's not really a good idea to mount the injectors in the head the way the original KZ1000 Classic did.

thanks for the info. I think I will stick to carbs for now. Still learning since this is my first bike in twenty years. my last bike was a suzuki 185.

Steell is correct...the ones you need are those with the injectors attached. You have no way (without major work on your head) to use injectors. Your throttle bodies would attach where your carbs currently are. Your idea to stick with the carbs is probably wise...less headache:)

thanks for the info:)
