Tearing out my EFI system and replacing it with a carburetor system . making my vehicle immune to EMP. Sure my 20 $ EBAY stereo my be toast but push and go will do.
Jimbo,
Would it not be cheaper to just keep spare parts for efi. What is conversion cost? Would have to think you are going to lose some fuel economy as well going back to carb.
no i am actually gaining hp and mileage. Its a 30 yr old system that was overly complex. by going carb i also ditch the computer stuff now its running on a brand new weber carb thats fully adjustable . The original system is a real spaghetti nest of wires and hoses I had tried many times to find vacum leaks and tracing issues . I had enough. so its easier to maintain and run this way. side benefit is its now less problematic if someone decided to pop a EMP device at my truck
Jimbo,
Definitely concede you have the emp angle covered. And maybe the hp increase. Pretty skeptical on the mileage gain though. What truck/motor combo are you running. If you took pics through the process, that would be a cool post.
4 cyl isuzu 2.6 l yea with the ITEC system it was epa'd to USA specs. so it was under rated. its not alot but its a bit
I picked-up a 3 man, 4 season tent (ALPS Mountaineering Tasmanian 3 with footprint). This is a relatively inexpensive winter tent that has two vestibules for storing gear (or in a pinch another sleeper). It's been found to be stable in heavy rain/snow and high winds. It's a little heavier than more expensive winter tents, but it's a good value for the price.
None you improvise, one (or more) is luxury.
Snare wire and some leg traps
For the first time got a couple Kerosene lamps and fuel. And another RU6500 Mask.

I just got one of these little things. It's more for a bug in situation . these throw a fantastic amount of radiant heat for the size and fuel used. I know i can run fondue ,lamp, kerosene etc oils to provide a heat and cooking source
What’s good about petrol based systems is that one can use oils from abondoned cars, trucks, boat........ and burn directly or maybe even refine a bit to burn better. If your not able to easily access wood, you may be able to drain some old oil pans!
Just got back from the local range,while there i picked nearly 10 lbs of brass. A fair bit of which I can use. I wish I could afford not to but its still cheaper then buying new.
