It replaces the carburetor with a \u003cb\u003emodular\u003c\/b\u003e system that an experienced mechanic can install, and its \u003cb\u003eECU controls both fuel and ignition timing\u003c\/b\u003e. It ships pre-programmed for a 1600 engine and can be reprogrammed for larger engines by the end user. Beyond optimizing fuel and timing, the system adds a high-idle mode for cold start and compensation for elevation and engine temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kit provides significant performance gains: dyno testing showed an \u003cb\u003e8-HP gain (46 to 54 HP)\u003c\/b\u003e and an \u003cb\u003e11 ft-lb torque increase (79 to 90 ft-lbs)\u003c\/b\u003e. The engine starts right up when cranking without touching the accelerator, and when you do hit the gas the response is transformed — instant acceleration on demand and smooth, strong power across the entire RPM range. The added O2 sensor also improves fuel economy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eVehicle Fitment\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eVW Beetle, Bus, Karmann Ghia, Thing \u0026amp; Type 3:\u003c\/b\u003e All years, Type 1 engine-based\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhy Choose Washburn's Metal?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA \u003cb\u003eWashburn's Original\u003c\/b\u003e — a direct-fit, ready-to-install kit with a pre-assembled fuel system and a custom, clearly labeled wire harness that takes the guesswork out of converting to EFI.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eComplete conversion:\u003c\/b\u003e Replaces the carburetor with a full, modular fuel injection system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eECU-controlled:\u003c\/b\u003e Manages both fuel and ignition timing; pre-programmed for a 1600 engine and reprogrammable for larger displacements.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSmart compensation:\u003c\/b\u003e High-idle cold-start mode plus compensation for elevation and engine temperature.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eProven gains:\u003c\/b\u003e +8 HP (46 to 54 HP) and +11 ft-lbs (79 to 90 ft-lbs) on the dyno, with improved fuel economy from the O2 sensor.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDirect fit \u0026amp; easy wiring:\u003c\/b\u003e Pre-assembled fuel pump\/regulator\/filter unit, integrated throttle body, and a labeled wire harness install in about four hours for an experienced mechanic.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSystem:\u003c\/b\u003e Complete carb-to-EFI conversion kit for Type 1 VW engines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eECU:\u003c\/b\u003e Controls fuel and ignition timing; pre-programmed for 1600, end-user reprogrammable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFuel Unit:\u003c\/b\u003e Fuel pump, regulator, and filter pre-assembled into one unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThrottle Body:\u003c\/b\u003e Integrated with fuel injector, IAT sensor, TPS sensor, and idle air valve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWiring:\u003c\/b\u003e Custom wire harness with clearly labeled connectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDyno Results:\u003c\/b\u003e 46 to 54 HP; 79 to 90 ft-lbs torque\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eInstall Time:\u003c\/b\u003e About four hours for an experienced mechanic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/b\u003e FIS2-001 (SKU E01)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWill this fit my 1600cc engine?\u003c\/b\u003e Yes — the ECU ships pre-programmed for a 1600cc engine and is reprogrammable for larger displacements.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDo I need to touch the throttle to start it?\u003c\/b\u003e No — the high-idle cold-start mode handles startup automatically.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHow long does installation take?\u003c\/b\u003e About four hours for an experienced mechanic; the throttle body and fuel system arrive pre-assembled.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWhat's included?\u003c\/b\u003e Pre-assembled fuel pump, regulator, filter, integrated throttle body with injector, IAT sensor, TPS sensor, idle air valve, and a labeled wire harness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eExplore Related Categories\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/fuel-intake\"\u003eFuel \u0026amp; Intake\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/ignition\"\u003eIgnition\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/engine\"\u003eEngine\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Washburn's Metal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41533279305843,"sku":"E01","price":2000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/2760\/1523\/files\/00120230517_105413A.jpg?v=1721510016","url":"https:\/\/www.washburnsmetal.com\/products\/fis2-001-fuel-injection-system-simple-effective-system-to-modernize-your-vintage-volkswagen","provider":"Washburn's Metal","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
