Flying Toilet

Check it out. Its a mechanical fuel injection system and is good for gas, alcohol, works with N2O or you name it. Heres a simple explanation of it and how it works.


Carburetors mix the fuel load as they pull venturi vacuum. Injection however, provides instant fuel as soon as the throttle moves. The Flying Toilet is basically an air valve. The fuel is introduced into the engine near the bottom of the intake manifold runner closer to its final destination in the combustion chamber. Our unique cone shaped nozzles deliver the fuel in a fine mist.

If I was gonna use the BT's and the SVO block, I'd go for the 557 or 598 version w/ about 9.5 to 1 compression..........It would run on pump gas all day long and still spit out 700-800hp or so

Yeah right now I don't think I can even keep the car. I don't have the money for the motor and to be able to pay the patment and insurance. And I can't leave it on my driveway. I think I might have to turn it back in. I'm running out of options.

I can get a remaned 03 cobra motor for 3500. Complete with a 3 year 36,000 mile warranty. Sounds like the cheapest way to go so far.

Negative but I can get a blower and all the fixins off ebay for 500. So not that expensive of a change. Other than the hood might see if I can make it work with the charger. Atleast as a heat vent.

You should study very hard on a reman. I personaly wouldnt buy a remanufactured motor if the crank has been machined more than .010.. Ive seen more remanufactured motors come through for replacement than I have factory motors. In most cases the motors are put together in a hurry and not every aspect has been handled with care which usually ends in failure.

if it does fail hopefully it will fail before the 36,000 miles/ 3 years for the guy. hey dirty couldnt you've gotten an extended warranty for the mach when you bought it. for my bonneville and my GT i got a 3 year 36,000 mile warranty with the used car and they were through ford and GM. so my GT was warranteed till like 80 some thousand miles cause i bought it with 45,000 + back in 03. i dont have the GT anymore but it only costed like 1600.00

Yeah I could of but I was trying to keep my payment as low as possible. I just had my GT with 75k on it and never had a problem with it. Just my luck though. Yeah the warranty kind of makes me feel better about the motor.

The thing about warranty on a reman is that generally, it only covers parts and not labor. So if it were to fail, he would have to eat the labor cost. Not to mention, warranty usually only covers actual mechanical parts. So if he were to blow a head gasket or the block cracked he would be shit out of luck.
