MFI ---> EFI How much £££ and where?
Hi all,
Pretty much as the title states really, How much should i be expecting to pay for the conversion and can anybody reccomend where i should go.
I'm based in Herts/Essex area.
I'm not the most mecahincly minded so am not going to try myself

My megasquirt efi conversion cost something like this:
From local scrapper:
Intake manifold, fuel rail, throttle body,brake booster pipe,edis parts (efi flywheel, vr-sensor &bracket,,loom, coilpack+bracket,spark plug wires, edis unit) ~100£
(if you want it look good sandblasting/painting parts costs extra. I sandblasted all parts and get those professional painted.
efi throttle pedal 5£
Another parts:
Megasquirt efi unit v2.2 200£
loom parts 50£
new bigger injectors 200£
efi throttle cable 20£
Fuel lines 40£
Quality cone filter 80£
Custom intake pipe 30£
Innovate wideband lambda 130£ (really important!)
And then the installation costs extra. And i recommend set of NEW injectors, you can newer know what shit those second hand injectors are even if serviced.

Thanks for all your replys guys. I'm really keen to get this done as i want that extra bit of power.
Just been ripped off so many times with mechanics and sprayers so im a bit cautious now.

It Wasnt Me!
std MFI - STD ford EFI - no gain in power!
Personally if ure MFI is working fine and your not running at 200bhp or whatever then I wouldnt bother converting unless your wanting to tidy up the engine bay, less clutter..

I use NMS for my turbo, i'd rather pay the extra for karl and ollie to do it cos i've used them before after getting refrences from people on here, my rs hasn't skipped a beat since they touched it over 4 months ago.
If anything happened to it after OKC had converted it and NMS would have to backtrack someone elses work which is both frustrating and again costly for me!.
its swings and roundabouts.

at the moment running MFI i should already be hitting about the 200bhp mark.
The last garage that uprated my fuel pump kept saying i would gain so much by going EFI. Better driveability and alot more option to increase the bhp as i cant go much more due to he MFI ????? dunno how accurate this is but can only go from what im being told
To be honest the main reason is i want more power i have enough torque to rip my car in half but want more speed from it. Obviously the better driveibilty will help with the extra power aswell.

Personally id rather spend a few extra £'s and have my car worked on by specialists not by someone who runs of his parents front garden.

It isn't allways a case of how much something cost that reflects the quality.
2k for something thats nearly 20 years old just seems ridculous!

i'm now running efi, and it's much better than a carb turbo setup or the mfi on my erst powered cab.
ok, ecu £330, wideband £230, inlet/sandwich plate/engine loom £100, injectors £40, miscellaneous parts £50 -pipe etc.
then time an dfuel to map it.
better driveability, better economy than either of the previously mentioned setups, granted mfi isn't too bad on fuel once setup, but lacks the finesse of the efi, on boost and off.
megasquirt isn't for everyone, but decent management can be bought for reasonable money.
just to add i already had bay loom, flywheel and other bits and pieces from a stripped car i had.

lol at working out the garden.
Jano did start from his parents garden over 10 years ago working out of a double garage.
We all start somewhere, he worked on his own motors then his pals untill he is where he is today.
Now his reputation is second to none! Even if you prefer others the fact is your tuner is inferior
He has a massive yard with ramps, office, store rooms, diagnostic machines, co machines etc etc.. Charges what the job is worth and will not have you over like many others! Also what i really like is that no-one else works for him. He says that if anyone is going make a mistake on customers cars it will be him only, this way no mistakes will be made.
Also OKC has never advertised anywhere ever. Everything is word of mouth which speaks for itself, if thats not enough then have a good look at the cars he builds.
