Anyone install Vargas Double Shotgun or Motiv Fuel Rail yet?

Fundguy1 · 11-30-2014, 03:10 PM

Trying to find some impressions, surprises, approvals, disappointments, etc hoping to contrast the pros and cons of both setups so I can choose which way to go. First hand experience, reliability, etc. give me your feedback. Happy, unsatisfied, do it the same or different way if given the choice, problems, tips. It's all appreciated.
Thx

if you don't find any reviews means there is nothing out yet.... gonna take couple of months to get a review but ask motiv themselves, they have been running it a lot

Been in contact with both. I know they've been shipping so just fishing. Figure it will take some time though.

Fundguy1 · 12-01-2014, 07:42 AM

Motiv only because it's supposed to keep the valves cleaner and I've had bad luck with hpfp. I've had 5.

I'm running the MOTIV port injection set-up. It's a quality piece and addresses my fueling needs very well.

Can you tell us more about your kit and setup?
Which stage PI kit do you have?
Why did you pick that stage kit?
Do you think you could have went up or down a stage?
Are you running straight e85 or a mixture?
Who tuned the kit?
Any turbo upgrades?

I'm running the MOTIV stage 2 kit and 100% E85. I also have the Fuel-It! stage 3+ LPFP. No fueling issues whatsoever.

BMS also makes a PI kit that works well.

MOTIV 750. Fuel-It Stage 2 LPFP and MOTIV port injection.

Jake H. at MOTIV has done all the tuning. Currently running a Cobb backend flash w/AEM EMS-4 for boost and fueling. We'll shortly be switching to MHD for the flash tune.

I went with pi 'cause we were running out of fueling around 21 psi on pump gas (93 octane) and I wanted to be able to run an E85 mix to cool things down.

My 1M is on track (road race courses) 30-40 days/year.

Thanks for the info gents. Their website doesn't give much info or recommendation on which kit is good for what. Good to see that their stage 2 kit is sufficient enough to feed the much needed fueling demands.
