just wondering how much you spent on your motor if you dont mind?

i think it came to just under 3k, that was intercooler hoses , braided lines, megasquirt, wideband setup, blah blah the whole lot, probably a bit less considering i ordered extra of certain stuff, the main killer was the inlet manifold, if i done it again it would be a mx5 setup as seen in the other threads do the sums by the time you buy a bloody pinto efi manifold stick some reco'd v8 injectors in there you could nearly buy a motor, although i'm trying another pinto turbo but with ea falcon throttle body which will chop alot of the cost and no intercooler

ah very good,wat injectors did you use?i will have to keep an eye open for one,i saw one for sale a while back,i should have snapped it up if i realised they are so hard to come by,did you have to modify your rad support to fit the cooler?

injectors are the v8 Holden blue top type, had to do a bit of cutting to get it in there , it's running a 3row rad and didn't have room to fit my fan that used to be there in, in my setup you would have to look at something like twin 9" fans or so

do you have to modify the injectors or can you use standard ones? cant wait to start,theres an efi manifold in brisban atm for 400 bucks minus injectors thoughts on price?

yea sounds about right who cares if it doesn't have injectors as the standard ones and probably not suitable, the Holden ones fit directly in , as long as it comes with the fuel rail and regulator ??
