I was informed by Jim Inglese that in the near future he will have a classified seciton on his site,Home He does have a turn key ready to go IDA setup for 289's. Thought I would post it here, and when the site is ready, will post a link here as well.

received my 48 IDA Webers from Jim recently. They are going in an otherwise bone stock '65 K code HiPo Mustang fastback. I'll report back on the installation & performance when I get them installed, sometime next month.

Jim helped me set up my webers. Glad to hear he will have a presence here. He's one of the really good guys to work with.

Bought an Inglese EFI system. Worst tech support ever!! Sent wrong parts. Sent them back. They sent them to me again!! Sent them back again, don't even know if I have what i need now. Asked them what throttle cable I need.........Aaaahhh I don't know was the answer I got. Jim needs to look into to his tech support team.. Sorry to be so negative but I was unhappy with this.

I don't think Jim Inglese (website link: Home) has any affiliation with Inglese (Inglese Induction Systems - Weber Carburetor & EFI Induction Systems)--they're two separate and unrelated companies.

Inglese Induction Systems (sounds like from where you purchased the EFI system) is now owned by COMP Performance Group. Jim is doing his own thing as Jim Inglese Weber Carburetion.

Yep, Jim has no affiliation with the company he sold to Comp Cams. Jim is THE MAN on webers. My 289 Cobra fires on the first pull and runs like a scalded ape.

Comp Cams has no idea what they sell and how it works. Hence, my two year money pit on my GT-40 that will not make the power it is supposed to regardless of dyno tuning.

Best,

Ron

Jim really is THE MAN on webers... and his tech support is excellent!

Just for clarification, here’s Jim’s website:

You wouldn't be the first to get them confused.

That's the downside of building up a business, selling to a big corporation and having them keep your name.

I'm glad he went back to doing this individually, but I'm sure it will take a while before everyone realizes these are two completely different companies.

I am embarressed of my ignorance. Thanks for setting me straight Stentor. I humbly apologize to Jim Inglese.

I should have my first fire up in about 2 weeks. Wont even call Comp Cams for support. I will call FAST SYSTEMS instead. or Blykins...if it is ok with him.?

Please post some pics when you can.

FAST is Comp Cams.

You may want to substitute “first fire up” for something more like “get her running” or “started” etc …. I’m just saying

All the best!

How do the Webber carbs perform against a Quick Fuel or Holley 4 barrel, is the power, throttle responce, drivability, etc, the same or different, all opinions welcome, I love the look of the Webbers, this would be for a 482 FE motor.

fordracing65 · #19 (**permalink**) 07-30-2012, 03:34 AM

Nevermind the prior post, for the price of that set-up I could go 8 stack fuel injected, i'll stay 4 barrel with turkey pan.

Purchased a Jim Inglese system over a year ago for a winter project; 347 SBF Daytona, replacing Holly 650 DP / Jr. Victor. Ordered the turkey pan (that's my Daytona turkey pan on his web site). There was a shipping delay because the turkey pan builder had some medical problems. Not a problem as I was not in a hurry - Jim kept me updated as to the delay. Take pictures of your current set up so Jim will know what linkage you will need.

Kit came complete with everything except locktite and RTV. (worth the extra $$ - as you will save time and $$)

Install hint: Read the instructions, visualize install, then READ the instructions again. Basic manifold install, bolts on a couple of the bodies are tight - kit comes with ARP bolt kit to solve the problem - but did some grinding to have better access to nuts.

Check the fuel pressure when motor is cold (gauge came with kit). Engine heat may affect oil filled gauge reading.

Webers like more advance! Initial start might pop and sound like crap. Advance the dizzy. There is no choke so the motor might run rough and rich until it reaches operating temp. Initial start should be outside with good ventilation!

The turkey pan may change the routing of your spark plug wires and you may need longer wires.

Tuning? Jim sets it up close for you motor combo. Adjusting the 4 banks is straight forward. Setting the rich/lean screws should be straight forward, but I am still tinkering with these last adjustments. I can't hear the "fine tuning rpm changes" as the exhaust/motor is loud

thinking of using an inductive timing light to watch rpm changes on spark plug wires for each rich/lean adjustment.

The only problem I had was with the Mallory Unilite distributor. One of the retaining clips slipped and the cap was loose/tilted and caused rough idle and poor low rpm driving - spitting and backfire. And a couple of the spark plug wires were not fully pressed into the dizzy. The turkey pan obstructed the problem as I thought it was a advance and rich/lean problem (e.g. lean backfire). Had to replace rotor and cap. Never assume it's the new parts!

Jim was always available to answer questions on the phone or email. As I understand it, Jim worked on two of the original Daytona Coupes! Now that's experience.

For the price difference of Jim Inglese Weber set up vs. other providers, I think it was worth the $$$$.

Results? Gas mileage is down - not fully tuned yet .... however, "seat of the pants" gauge is a 10! I can spin the tires toooo easily ... and the sound at WOT is different! Plus there is the "wow factor" when you pop the hood.

Have an Accel DFI with TWM stacked FI on my Cobra. Cost of FI is twice as much as Weber set up (and just as hard to tune unless you know alot about computers and mapping and have access to a dyno). Cost of Weber set up is twice of carb set up.

And no computers to worry about .... that's another story I have ... Should have gone with the Webers on the cobra ...
