Is it me, or are these things the worst possible part on the car !

im fed up of buying 2nd hand ones that dont work, Do any of you guys know where i can buy a new one, or send mine to get refurbished and fixed.

Also some prices if you know any,

Thanks

Damien.

 

have u tried ford? it will cost u but it would be brand new

 

they are expensive, if your that fcuked off, it'd be cheeper to convert to EFI

 

ive thought about converting to efi, and id like to do that but ive looked into Oddkidds kit and im not to keen on parting with £2000 right now, as i dont have that sort of money to spare.

Would it be cheaper to buy the efi kit on its own bit by bit, i dont really know what it takes to convert the car, so if you got time could u make a list.

 

I agree mate, the meter units are a pain in the arse, im on my third one.
And i think its days are numbered. U can get the origional bosch units from ford but the bottom bit alone is over £800 and that does not include the top bit which all the red injection pipes fix to. I think the futre is omex or any other aftermarket engine managment. Sounds alot of money to lay out but buy the time u have finished buggering about with the the old bosch toss its well worth while. Plus u have Efi managment which has more scope for tuning.

 

What do you guys think is my cheapest EFI option

 

First have a look at your block some cvh turbo blocks have the hole already factory drilled for the crank position sensor if your lucky and it has this hole, u can use a fiesta Efi managment , u will need a conversion plate for the EFI manifold to fit the k-jectronic head. I think odd kid sells these plates and im pretty sure ive seen info on this conversion on his site. Was going to use this set up myself but my block is to old to have a cps hole. need to sort a cps sensor out.

 

Jamsport were doing Gotech managment for £949 fitted and mapped!!

 

WoW thats well cheaper than the omex set up i was looking at. The bits alone were about 1300 quid.

 

How good is the gotech, and whats included there ?

 

Your cheapest and easiest option I reckon is to go to ofab/ofac FRST management.

People are going to have different views on the above options, but they are all good viable options.

 

Wow thanks for that mate, that will provide some good reading material tongiht, Ill look into them all and see which one i will benifit from the most.

 

No probs dude. I know of people that have converted to the megasquirt system for less then £500 (thats an all in price - inc. vat.), and its a good system, fully mapable etc, take a read of my topic on there and make your mind up. Thats what im gonna go with anyway.

This topic should help you if you decide to go that route:

I am going to write a step-by-step installation guide, but just havent got off my arse to do it yet, but the above topic should more than help you out.

Also, this may be of help to you:
