Fuel Injection System on Craigslist

Also need is 155:1 rockers. This won't fit all Tr6's ether because the spacing of the intakes in the head on later car is wider.
I too have lusted over a system. Looks very European.

Thanks to you and Tom Lynch for sharing.

Not wanting to cause a thread de-rail, but tell that to the armchair sports cars experts at the car shows. "Now, this is the [insert TR250 or TR6]. It is better than the [insert 2/3/4/4A] because it has a six cylinder engine..."

Take this with a grain of salt as with everything else posted on the Internet ( Triumph 0-60 times)


<span style="font-weight: bold">Triumph TR 0 to 60 mph and Quarter Mile Times</span>

1954 Triumph TR2 0-60 mph 12.4

1956 Triumph TR3 0-60 mph 11.8 Quarter mile 18.1

1958 Triumph TR3A 0-60 mph 11.3

1961 Triumph TR3A 0-60 mph 11.3

1962 Triumph TR4 0-60 mph 10.4 Quarter mile 17.8

1965 Triumph TR4A 0-60 mph 10.3 Quarter mile 17.3

1968 Triumph TR6 0-60 mph 10.6 Quarter mile 17.7

1975 Triumph TR7 0-60 mph 11.2 Quarter mile 18.3

1976 Triumph TR7 0-60 mph 11.3 Quarter mile18.5

1979 Triumph TR7 Convertible 0-60 mph 11.4 Quarter mile 18.2

1980 Triumph TR8 0-60 mph 8.4 Quarter mile 16.4

I found a couple of references showing the TR250 as 10.5/10.6 0-60 which roughly matches the first TR6 numbers.

In fact I liked it so much I tried to mimic it when I built my Ram Air system for my tipple Z's.

In 1969 I bought a brand new TR6. My previous car was a '62 TR4 that was wrecked about two years before I bought the TR6. My butt dyno said that the TR4 was faster then the TR6, and when I got into a little drag race with my buddies TR3 and came out on the short end of the stick, I realized that the TR6 needed some tweaking. I put in a cam, milled a bunch off the head, and did some porting. I don't know what kind of horsepower I wound up with, but now I wasn't totally embarrassed by Datsun 240Z's...which BTW, had 150HP from 2.4 liters.

So, getting 1 HP/cu.in. back then was pretty easy to do.
