My Anglia on the 45's will do well over 33mpg to the gallon on a run and the Anglia van on the single down draught carb regularly sees 35mpg+ on a run.

Just how much better would injection have to be to make it worth while going for ?


The van with the single carb on it is running Megajolt in 2D mode as there was an issue with the TPS.

He has recently bought a replacement Megajolt from the states, assembled and it was £125 delivered.

The ESC Module from the Fiesta was good enough for a production car and I drove Dave Colledges development escort years ago that had that set up on it and it went really well.

The key is connecting the water temp sensor, if you dont it knocks the ignition back.

Personally I can see no benefit in fitting the standard efi set up, it looks pants and it doesnt make any more power than it would in a standard car.

OK you can get it chipped, but that costs a decent amount of money.

I met a fella with a Ginnetta which looks a very similar vintage to your Reliant and he had cast his own inlet manifold which to be honest could have been machined out of billet, but he was an old pattern maker so he just knocked himself one up. This allowed him to get the carbs nice and close to the head, which gave a very crisp throttle response and kept everything out of the way of inner wings etc.
