Well, the great FPR experiment did not go well. I know some have been asking about it, so here are the results.
First off, the stupid thing is too tall to fit under the upper intake manifold. This may be able to be fixed with a little machining and a smaller adjustment screw. I might also need to change the spring inside which could prove to be difficult to get right.
The vacuum port is on the inside (towards injectors), so I'm not sure if the vacuum line will reach. I got it on there, but it comes off a vacuum line that is attached to the dual lines going to the plastic thingamajig next to the IAC on the upper. Also, the 1/8" NPT port that I was planning on using for a fuel pressure gauge faces the injectors, too. I can probably fix these by drilling new holes to mount the top piece in a new orientation.
The base is just tall enough to interfere with the rod connecting the IMRC butterflies. It might work with a little bending, but if left as is the secondaries remain slightly cracked. The Kirban unit I have seen would probably not have this problem, but it looks to suffer the same height problems.
The bateries in the digital cam were dead, so I'll be getting pics to post tomorrow. To make matters worse, I dropped one of the FPR screws when removing. I heard it hit something in the engine bay, but it never fell to the ground. Now I have to run around to hardware stores looking for the right screw to replace it with tomorrow. (Anyone know what size that screw is???)
I've seen a Kirban on eBay and it isn't getting any attention from bidders, so I am going to hang on to this part and see if I can get it to work.
