Holley Tbi

if you are talking the 670 beffup unit. then its not a simple swap to do. lots of chip and tunning needed for best results and in stock bolt on it will give you some good problems from what i have read.

Yeah, I looked at that unit a while back, around the time I was looking for simple bolt on upgrades, and that didn`t fall into that category....
tbi Holley crap
Hi SweetK30
They advertise the Holley tbi, 670 CFM Two-barrel TBI Model 3210 is a direct replacement for 1987-89 GM Pickup with a 5.7L V-8. Featuring a 2.00” throttle bore, which is a 42% increase over stock TBI and an air distribution ring. Provides increased torque and horsepower. Compatible only with stock GM electronics. For 366$ at sdpc2000.com
Im located in Egypt and the tbi parts are available but expensive it wil cost to get 2 injectors and 2 sensors for the price above so i said what the hek get a new one, if you know more info about this tbi unit let me know, since the last i need is to change chips and all that electonic stuff

injectors are bigger / throttle bores are bigger / some have diffrent wire plugs / and needs lots of computer chip work to get the fuel / air maps correct to run. lots have tryed bolt on and 95% have failed. run rich and idels badly if at all. plus thay perform crapy . thay are good if you have the compur program and info to tune it best. but for your needs get a stock tbi unit.
IIRC the TBI unit does not come with the injector pod or injectors. You must reuse your injector pod and injectors. You better read everything because i've read small print somewhere which said that. Also without modifying your intake manifold the 2" TBI will not allow you to open the throttle as the throttle blades will hit the stock bore on the manifold.
The Turbocity one? If that's so, that's a very misleading picture and description. Wonder how many people have been caught by that!4X4HIGH said:
My bad, just looked at it again and pic just shows bare housing. They're injectors aren't too cheap either.

Thats kinda pricey. CFM-Tech, Turbo City, and Xtreme FI offer higher flowing ones for cheaper.

I would not go with the Holly unit. Too much trouble.
Just get some stock injectors. Unless you have done a lot of performance mods to the engine you do not need a bigger throttle body. A nice set of flow matched injectors will improve your performance in a stock TBI
Here's a couple of links from people I have delt with
I dont know if he ships overseas but this guy has cheap TBI injectors:http://www.injectors4u.com/tbi_injectors.htm He does good work.
Also fiveomotorsport http://www.fiveomotorsport.com/Injector_SetsGMTrucks.asp Is a very good source for injectors of any kind. They ship world wide.
