Hey guys, I'm new to the forum. I'm seeking some information for a very unique and complicated project I'm working on. I need to adapt some form of direct injection into said project, and I'm looking into using VW parts. I was wondering if you guys could steer me in the right direction.
The problem is don't know which engine or type of DI system I should be working with. Ideally, I'd like to use a system I can tune with an aftermarket standalone system. The last resort being an old school mechanical injection.
The first issue is the which injectors to go with, as I understand they generally use a high voltage (60v) peak and hold system to drive them. This makes most ecus unusable as far as I understand, aside from some newer ones with expensive DI drivers. So my first question is are there any direct injectors, whether they be piezo or solenoid or anything else, that can run off a standard port injection driver?
Next I need an injection pump, most seem to be cam lobe or gear driven. I need one that generates a constant pressure, not like the newer Bosch pumps that require a pressure solenoid controlled by the ecu to function. Does any VW engine have one like this?
As for plan B, which older VW engine would have simplest mechanical injection system, that would be the least trouble to adapt to another application?
Thanks for any info you guys can offer
