Vortec CSFI
to MPFI conversion
GM 4.3, 5.0 and 5.7 Vortec Injector conversion
Vortec 4.3L 5.0L and 5.7L engines from 1996-2002 have been found to be very sensitive to fuel deposits in the fuel injectors. The Vortec Central Sequential Fuel Injection system utilizes a unique fuel injector for each cylinder. The injector coil is located in the central 'spider' with a tube sending the injected fuel to a poppet nozzle in the port of each cylinder. These poppet nozzles require >45psi fuel pressure to open when working properly. If the poppet becomes contaminated or the fuel pressure is lower than specifications, the injector will not fire.
Below is an example of the original CSFI Vortec Spider.
The Auto Shop's Vortec MPFI conversion eliminates the poppet nozzles, instead placing the injectors at the end of the tubes as shown below. This system fits under your stock upper intake with no visual changes when fully assembled. There are no computer calibration changes required, it is a 100% bolt in conversion.
The photo below show the system installed on a 5.7L engine. The stock upper intake fits over this system just like the original CSFI injection.
Due to many questions about what is included with this kit, here's what you get:
-Complete spyder assembly
incl fuel pressure regulator
spyder body
injectors and tubes
-New mount bracket
-Spyder to plenum seal
-Upper intake plenum seal
-Throttle body seal
