Good work......what else u planning on doing to it?
U have a power figure as a goal?

Re: astron 1 cracks 100hp atw
still wanna have the engine nice and reliable so the carb and mechanical fuel pump has to go. if i come across some twin carbs for that motor ill deff pick them up. i do have all the efi gear to put on it but cbf. Im currently picking up a freshly built 4g63 short block soon and start the build on that. power figure isnt really a worry. the 2.6 i wanna see better figures of just 100hp. but im glad it even made that. see what i can get out of it with very little of money spent and the help of my performance shop i work will do the treat.

Re: astron 1 cracks 100hp atw
the EFI will definately help to up the power figure....and the effeciency of the motor as well
Changing the mechanical pumps (namely fuel and water) to electric will free up some lost power and effeciency there too
Not to mention, the Astron I 2.6 has a cr of just 8.2:1.......ram up the cr to a high 9 (or even a 10+ if ur keen on running 98ron fuel all the time) and u'll get alot more power AND fuel economy on that alone
If the work is done properly.....I'd expect to see 150hp (maybe more) very reliably before u start affecting its practicality in terms of maintainance
