Hi Yossi,

Hope you have a Happy New Year too.

I suspect that you might be a pioneer in the fuel injection area, if you go down that path. This might be a good place to start.

If you really want to do this and still have it look original...these are the people to provide the system. (This would also work well on a P5B.)

The link below illustrates the fitting of the system from A-Z. It shows how the original carburettor setup and manifold is retained. On 3 litre Rover only one throttle body injector would be required...reducing costs and fitting of components. The system is also available for 2" SUs.

Before the nay sayers start knocking this system...watch the video and read the literature..then make an informed opinion.

Not petrol, but I am thinking of sequencial LPG injection and chatting to cam manufacture about reprofiling the cam. I think it will improve the fueling no end from the giant carb! The inlet manifold lends itself to this option.

This looks like a good idea! But would be better with injectors nearer the inlet valves for a P5 3L. Worth a chat to them though!

It's a Throttle Body Injector system (TBI) not a multi point as in most current vehicles. It's very simple and efficient for a basic injection system whilst still retaining the look of the OEM SU carburettor. If you want more complexity/efficiency...there's plenty out there but will mean big $$$s.

PS.
The 3 litre engine in good condition and behind a manual gearbox is a reasonably quick and responsive car. As far as mixture distribution goes with the OEM carburettor and manifold, these engines idle and run incredibly smoothly. A friend's car (MK3 coupe) was fitted with a 5 speed Toyota Supra gearbox. The only way to tell if the engine was running at idle was to look at the ignition charge light blinking on and off!
