The Brown Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system was developed due to the many attempts by others to create a system for Corvair Owners but was either too complicated or expensive or both. This injection system was not designed as a racing venue but for performance and reliability. The newest carbs are 50 years old and the repair or rebuilding is getting more and more difficult. In the 1970s/1980s Milt Binion built 10 EFI kits from 280Z and adapted them to the Corvair. Using Mr. Binion as our inspiration, we adapted Chevy Cavalier TBIs and the GM C1500 ECM to our EFI system and hoped to at least sell 10 units. This system has evolved to specially built TBIs using the Corvair Carburetor base, but retaining the bolt-on nature to allow the Corvair engine to be unmodified. As of August 2021, we have built 150 fuel injection systems and delivered it to 3 continents. We are the world leader in Corvair fuel injection systems design and manufacture
The 2nd Generation TBI was developed to simplify the installation and not be dependent on used parts as the 1st Generation TBI. This kit uses the Corvair linkage, Air cleaners, and distributor which makes it look very close to the factory Corvair engine. We use a Microsquirt ECM-based system that uses standard GM/Bosch parts and sensors. We chose these parts based on availability, price, and dependability. We try to source parts that are American-made, but finding those parts is getting more and more difficult.
The 3rd Generation TBI is a refinement of our efforts and applies what we know that can be built at a price that most Corvair owners can afford. We cast our own tops to control supply and quality to give the EFI kit a more “Corvair-ish” look and use the factory Ignition Coil.
Brown Injection Systems, LLC is a weekend shop which means I work on Corvair EFI parts about every weekend and holidays. I have a regular job and a family, so until I give one of those up I will not be producing kits in mass.
I am Ted Brown and I designed this system to be simple, complete, and trouble-free with easy troubleshooting if it ever needs maintenance. You must have a willingness to learn, a laptop, and a little patience. Please evaluate your skills and the skills of others before you embark on this journey which is well worth the trouble.
