Well remember guys when I told you I would modify the starter injector circuit to accelerate the car ? Well I did it and with the cold starting feature intact. I also have and LED on my accelerator circuit on switch to see when the injector is injectng. The injector will only inject when engine is turning and vacume drops suddenly, just like a carburator's power valve. Also the injector will inject when starting and cold, tested this cold starting stock feature with Ice on the thremal time switch. Well the experimental addition to my enrichment circuit did not work well. The stock enrichment circuit in the throttle switch works well but I wanted more zoom from my almost bone stock setup using all original type3 and vw parts. Upon heavy acceleration or around a few pounds of vacume left, the injector would inject at full force a fine mist into the main body of the maifold, the theory was that the the car would "fly" harder. After vacume was restored the injector would turn off. Very little accelation difference was noticed but there was some. More acceleration was noticed when I passed cars at 75 MPH and hit 90 very quickly so I left it in there. I can shut the circuit off anytime to have a normal running car that gets better mileage. Turn it "on" on comand. The circuit is automatic and needs no intervention from the driver. I found a drawback from the circuit. If I left it on, the day was warm and the engine was warm, the injection system leaned out to compensate, the additional gas injected would flood the now rich intolerant system and shut the car down. This shutdown happend only during hard acceleration upon leaving a stop sign or normal acceleration when leaving a stop sign uphill. On flat roads at a stop sign the engine would miss if i pressed the accelerator a little hard, I always had a lead foot. So I shut the circuit down inside the city or drove conservatively avoiding seeing the LED from blinking. Hey dads you can modify the circuit to shut the car down if tour kid went crazy with the gas pedal, hee, hee, hee ! The reason for this was that the gas is unburned because the fuel ratio exceeded the 14 part oxygen and one part fuel parameter by alot. Only during highway speeds this amount of fuel can be used since lots more air is flowing, so to make this circuit work without the stumble or shutdown bug, one must install an RPM switch from those racing catalogs. The circuit does not give anything impressive. If a NITRO canister were installed intead of fuel to that injector then you would have some real speed then. Too much for me though. I may make my special fuel mixture and mini tank but then I may never do this. The bottom line is that my engine needs more oxigen to take advantage of this mod, maybe increasing the engines airflow... etc.. oh well just wanted to let you know.
