Default B20E engine in an Amazon

Anyone ever put an injection engine in an Amazon?

I have seen a few amazon cars that folks have stuffed, FI engines into the amazons.

But just take the engine out, rebuild it, drive plugs into the injection holes, put a fuel pump on the side and run it on a nice set of SU's. Easier to keep running than d-jet....

Interesting! You've reminded me that I had a B20E engine in my Amazon Estate and the injection holes were plugged. I was just wondering what the injection system was like. But Chris, you say replace the set up with SU's, right?

Default B20E engine in Amazon

Just for info. I run a B20E engine in my 122S but it breathes through a Weber 28/32 DGV carb.. I get 32+mpg driven hard and the dyno reading is 115bhp..
Don't know for certain but have been told that the original Bosch injection system is very basic and not good for fuel economy.
Perhaps someone out there could enlighten me with some mpg figures for the Bosch?

Regards, David.

Hi, sorry to hijack. Figured knowone would notice given it’s 9 years old, are you saying here you run a b20e engine in your Amazon? Without the fuel injection?
