what kind of power are you after? if keeping your existing engine you will need a adapter plate to use the efi inlet. ofab is prob you best bet on a budget of which you will need to run a efi flywheel and drill your block to accept cps, i wouldnt say its an expensive conversion though tbh £100-150 for ecu and loom, £20 for flywheel (i have one spare) £10 for coil pack, ignition leads (again i have brand new set for sale)

You dont neccessarily have to use an EFi Flywheel and have a drilled block for the CPS. You could always use the 1.8 Sierra CVH setup which is a toothed bottom pulley and a CPS bracket on the timing belt cover, this is the setup I have ready to fit! List of parts varies but for a simple setup:

EFi Head or MFI>EFI adaptor plate
Complete EFi inlet & Throttle body
ECU and Loom (OFAB/OFAC)
EDIS System
Coilpack & Leads
MAP sensor (ECU Specific)
Sierra CPS setup (inc. Alternator) or Fiesta Turbo CPS setup(inc. Flywheel)

This should get you running but most people go for Beiges and a 195 Chip in with this too.

As I said I will be fitting the Sierra setup as it means I get to keep my original block and I dont have to arse about with flywheels. I have an EFi head and inlet, beiges, OFAC ECU, 195 cihp and OFAC MAP Sensor to fit too. All depends on your future plans and availability of parts, it took me months to find the Sierra CPS setup, but I knew that's the way I wanted to go.
