if you dont want to use the k-jet then it aint gonna be cheap. I'd stick with the k-jet for now and maybe upgrade to efi when funds are flowing better.
failing that, you could try and find a turbo technics conversion for an xr3, but you've probably more chance of watching the queen take a dump than finding one!
