book me a flight and i'll help with the beer.  just have a go at it, read the ms site there is lots of info out there. the relay box is easier then you think putting the wiring together. fp = fuel pump, put wire there easy. at first looks like sheet. get some plugs, different coloured wires, draw it all down, once you have the plugs make the other end and connect to the realay board using the drawing you made to follow wires. thats your wiring harness done, i have a ms file that will get you running and im sure andrew would donate his too. would take you a few hours to make the wiring harness, assuming you buy all the right plugs and stuff unlike what i did. plus if it breaks down you can fix it as you made it

Agreed thats the best thing about doing the work yourself.. you built it so you know exactly how it works and how to fix it  Have a crack at the efi yourself Rhys.. once you get into it isnt as scary as first thought... im currently wiring in my cossie loom (i know its simpler but..) as long as you get a decent wiring diagram you will be right.. plus when you run into trouble there will always be someone willing to help  Good luck

couldn't agree more with grant, read all the megasquirt pages and its quite straight foward. The only advice i'd give you is start with megasquirt as fuel only just until you get things running, then switch to a spark setup.
There is also pleanty of help here and also on the megasquirt forums (www.msefi.com) so if you haven't check them out have a look (i'm rs2000 on there).
Its a bit intimidating at first, but really you just have to find a spot for each sensor and solder in a wire for it.

WILL WORK FOR BEER! Or will try to work under influence of beer....? Hehe, Im a totally unqualified auto elec but do have experience in beer....... Nah seriously I've never had to tackle a MS but had loom out of my car several times and done a fair bit of sparky work to it, but I don't rate my skills. We'll see how my conversion comes together. I can probably offer advise on setting up pumps, fuels lines and clips, cheaper efi hose, surge etc if needed. Not offering my services if your fixing it up to sell it! [}:)] Rhys

[88][88][88]hahah your silly rhys, if at any time i could get some time off of work i'd help u out if possible, you would probably find the forum of more use though and as said many times, give it a go yourself. have you got a backup car to get around in while you fiddle with the EFI? anyways good luck with it

Funny you should ask, Im hopeful this weekend I can start it. Just need to find a spot for PCV to connect to and put in radiator.
Got manifold on today all wiring done (but not tested) all fuel system finished. Also made a few spare gaskets while I had manifold off.
Because of time of year, it won't get tuned till January when tuning joints re-open.
Not sure where, Mike Dales not at Blackwood Dyno anymore, and I was speaking to him at U-pullit few weeks back and he seemed to like the FR32cam alot so he should have bit of experience at getting most power out of it. but will still ring around.
