Ted why do you not mess with adding port injection to a DI motor. Just wondering why you do not have any builds or videos of you tuning them. L
I know the XDI offers plenty of fuel but what about people like myself that didn't want to spend 14k in parts. I realize it's probably more stockish in appearance and easier to tune and setup. But port makes sense and even using parts like Haltech and Injector Dynamics the price is so much more affordable. The lowside doesnt have to be powerful since it's operating at a lower psi and so on. Just seems really beneficial.
Anyhow just wondering has No one come to you and asked for a port setup or do you tell them to do an XDI setup and not mess with it?

Good morning gentlemen,
With all due respect each of you may build a hand full of cars in your lifetime.
Jannetty Racing Ent. may build as many in a week and have been at it for 34 years as Jannetty Racing, and 6 years before that as a professional Master tech.
You guys unlike 99% of my customers can handle working on it yourself, or don't mind relying on your local shop down the street from your house.
I do not believe in having multiple computers to control a single engine it opens the door for failure, confusion, and finding someone to service it when things go wrong.
Brings me back to the Piggy back computer days LOL.
We have emission compliance to deal with.
We build ultra reliable high performance street cars 1100 RWHP and travel cross country and knock down 24 MPG.
This is an undeniable fact
Direct injection makes more power, is more efficient, and burns cleaner on the same amount of fuel.
I understand you guys are always looking for the cheaper way out, it is your car your choice.
I on the other hand am looking for simple reliable compliant trouble free performance that does not require customer intervention or worry, nor have to rely on joes speed shop every time there is a problem.
You don't see me using Meth injection Either, How many engines have failed just on this forum alone with Meth injection, never mind the thousands I have read about elsewhere and over the last 30 years.
Does Port injection add fuel, Yes, Would I put in on my car, Maybe, but only if there were no other choice.
We have a choice and it is not 14K so don't try and make your point by inflating the price.
We can argue all day but I have to consider a lot more factors than you as a hobbyist will ever have to.
Respectfully, Ted.
