Default How to conect the Fuel Computer?

I have a 90 Spec but without the fuel computer on it... can i put it now without anything more (like plug&play ) or i need anything more than the computer?

Depends if you have the wiring for it behind your coin tray. Also need a fuel flow sender & gearbox sensor.

right you will need the computer loom, a fuel flow sensor, a different fuel pipe (to the injector) and a speed sensor for the gearbox (goes in line with the speedo cable) as well as the computer unit itself

I retro fitted the computer to mine, it was so annoying with its constant beeping and never worked properly so it was ripped back out again soon enough lol

plus you really don't want to know the MPG when you're booting it
