Mark my other mechanic mate is doing that, at the moment it is running at £300 installing and £100 for bits plus of course the kit itself. i'll give you a shout when it's done and you can have a look and a go..............

That actually isn't too bad for EFI, doesn't Lotus Bits quote £2500?

Not sure what they charge for fitting, but their kit is £2k, although it has to be said a lot newer technology than mine, and probably a lot less hassle to install.......... having to have a trigger wheel made for the ignition to be mounted on the camshaft as i am not comfortable about mounting on the crankshaft as the bottom end is balanced (i may be worrying to much but better safe than sorry) unfortunately i can't use a normal trigger wheel. so need to get one turned and every one that we try is CNC so seems will be a fortune, just need a bloke with a lathe and non of this modern arse,,,,,,...............If any one has any ideas let me know please.....
