MARINE Part Number 700-21 For V-8 Engines INSTALLATION, TUNING, AND TROUBLESHOOTING MANUAL NOTE: These instructions must be read and fully understood before beginning installation. If this manual is not fully understood, installation should not be attempted. Failure to follow these instructions, including the pictures may result in subsequent system failure.
1.0 INTRODUCTION Holley Performance Products has written this manual for the installation of the marine PRO-JECTION 2D fuel injection system. This manual contains all the information needed to install this system. Please read all the WARNINGS, NOTES, and TIPS, as they contain valuable information that can save you time and money.
NOTE: Although every possible precaution was taken in the design of the digital ECU to prevent interference from radio sources, the use of solid core spark plug wires may interfere with the operation of the ECU. Holley recommends the use of either suppression or spiral wound spark plug wires, such as Holley Part #’s 50-9800, 50-9801, or 50-9804.
8.1 Adapter Plate Installation Determine which type of mounting flange you have on your intake manifold. A square flange accepts a standard Holley carburetor or universal, and a spread bore flange accepts a Rochester Quadra-Jet carburetor. Make sure the gasket surface on the mounting flange is clean and any old gasket material has been removed.
NOTE: Some applications originally equipped with a Quadra-Jet carburetor may require the use of Holley’s throttle cable bracket P/N 717-6. NOTE: Mercruiser applications will require the throttle cable bracket P/N 717-6 and Holley's linkage adapter P/N 717-7. Install the bracket along with the proper gaskets between the manifold and the adapter plate.
Remove any studs or brackets that are on the carburetor throttle lever and transfer them over to the lever of the TBI in the same relative location. Connect the throttle cable to the lever using the original equipment hardware. If Using the Holley 717-6 and/or 717-7 throttle linkage kits.
DANGER! STICKING THROTTLE MAY RESULT IN UNCONTROLLED ENGINE OR BOAT SPEED. THIS COULD CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH. A STICKING THROTTLE MAY BE CAUSED BY IMPROPERLY INSTALLED THROTTLE CABLES, LACK OF CLEARANCE FOR ANY OF THE THROTTLE LINKAGE, OR BY BINDING THROTTLE LINKAGE. CHECK ALL THROTTLE CABLES FOR PROPER INSTALLATION AND ALIGNMENT AND ACTUATE THE THROTTLE TO CHECK FOR ANY POTENTIAL BINDING OR CLEARANCE PROBLEMS AND REPAIR ANY PROBLEMS.
8.6 Return Line Installation The Holley digital PRO-JECTION System requires a return fuel line to the fuel tank so that unused fuel can be routed from the throttle body. There are two methods of installing a return line on a boat. The preferred method is to run a hose or line from the throttle body outlet back to the fuel tank.
8.7.2 Installation with Fuel Return Line to Electric Pump Holley recommends that the mechanical pump be removed in this case. However, the pump can be optionally retained if the user wants to supply the electric pump with the mechanical pump. Install the 3/8” hose from the boat fuel tank and fuel filter to the 3/8”...
The ECU then adjusts the fuel delivery to maintain a stoichiometric fuel delivery (14.7:1 Air / Fuel Ratio). NOTE: The installation of an oxygen sensor will operate with the digital ECU. This requires use of the Holley Digital PRO- JECTION 2D Closed Loop Kit for 1 and 2-Barrel Applications, P/N 534-54.
Figure 7 Figure 8 If the oxygen sensor is being installed directly into the exhaust manifold, the manifold will have to be drilled and tapped for the oxygen sensor threads. The location for the oxygen sensor should be chosen very carefully. The sensor must be located in an area that can be drilled without passing through any of the manifold water jackets.
NOTE: All connections shown MUST be made in order for the PRO-JECTION 2D system to operate properly. Pick a suitable location on the interior of the boat in which the ECU can be mounted. Ensure the mounting location allows for sufficient length of the wiring harness and clearance for connectors and the adjustment knobs on the front of the ECU are accessible before mounting the ECU.
12.0 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS The cable assembly plugs into the ECU and also connects to the throttle body, fuel pump, sensors, electrical power, and ground. Apply a small amount of dielectric grease to all electrical terminals and connections. WARNING! Keep all wires away from hot or moving parts as much as possible. Your kit includes cable ties to secure wires clear.
WARNING! For proper operation, the voltage on the fuse holder wire should be 12-15 volts while the engine is running and should remain above 8.5 volts while the engine is being started. Low voltage will result in poor operation or an inoperative system. Double check the voltage after the installation is complete. WARNING! The use of solid core ignition wires may adversely affect the function of the electronic control unit.
should "open circuit", causing a lean condition, the back up automatically takes place. If the TPS "short circuits", causing a rich condition, you must remove the wire harness connector from the TPS. The idle will be richer and top speed will be limited in this mode.
The setting of the mechanical idle speed is critical in the operation of the Digital ECU and is best accomplished by using a tachometer. If your vehicle is not equipped with a tachometer, Holley highly recommends one be used. To adjust, follow the...
DANGER! ENSURE THE THROTTLE IS NOT STICKING. A STICKING THROTTLE MAY RESULT IN UNCONTROLLED ENGINE OR BOAT SPEED. THIS COULD CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, AND/OR DEATH. Start the engine. With the engine running at idle, insert a flat blade screwdriver into the head of the idle adjustment screw located on the front of the throttle body on the driver’s side of the vehicle.
Turn the adjustment knob labeled MAIN, clockwise until the engine rpm reaches a maximum value and the engine rpm just begins to drop. If your vehicle is equipped with a Holley rich / lean indicator, adjust the MAIN adjustment knob until the green center light on the unit remains stable.
The CHOKE adjustment knob controls the fuel delivery to the engine during a cold start. Adjustment to the CHOKE should be made after the engine has cooled down completely. After the engine has cooled down completely (Holley recommends allowing the engine to sit overnight), start the engine. Immediately after starting the engine, shift the transmission into gear and accelerate slowly.
Add Holley fuel system cleaner to the gas tank every 3 months according to the directions on the system cleaner. This will keep injector patterns optimal for best performance and economy.

20.2 Testing the Coolant Temperature Sensor The coolant temperature sensor used with the PRO-JECTION 2D system is a single wire sensor. The ECU supplies a fixed voltage to the sensor. The resistance within the sensor varies with temperature and this variation in resistance is used by the...
20.3 Testing the Throttle Position Sensor A properly adjusted and functioning throttle position sensor is essential to the proper operation of the PRO-JECTION 2D system. The TPS is a precision electrical component that acts as a variable resistor. The ECU provides a reference voltage to the TPS.
20.4 Testing the Oxygen Sensor (if equipped) The PRO-JECTION D system oxygen sensor performance can be evaluated. Probe the gray wire from the oxygen sensor connector with the positive (+) lead of a digital voltmeter. With the engine running open loop, the meter reading should be near zero or one volt.
