Default Help with Cossie management on a S2

Due to my head being warped the head gasket has just started leaking oil, i've opted to run an efi head and inlet and cosworth management.

I think I have the requirements list just about sorted:
ECU,
Engine bay loom,
Injector loom,
Fuel pump,
Fuel pressure regulator,
Injectors (Yellow),
Anti stall valve,
Throttle body,
Coil pack,
Throttle position sensor,
MAP sensor,
Air charge sensor,
Engine coolant temp sensor,
Engine speed sensor (TDC),
EFi head, inlet manifold and fuel rail,
1800 cvh bottom pulley.

I’m hoping to get all the cosworth parts off a late 2wd or 4x4 meaning its sparkless ignition.

I just had a few questions:

Is there anything else I need?
Will the kent cvh35 cam from my mfi head work in an efi head?
Will i need a single piston dump valve?

I’m not particularly in the know but am learning rapidly, I do have a mechanic who knows quite a bit about Cosworths helping me.

If anyone has done this or knows how to, any advice would be of great help.

P.s. my current setup is 1620cc low comp bottom end, hybrid turbo and chip, dump valve, oil separator, swirl pot, pace radiator and intercooler, silicone water and boost pipes, kent 35 cam, K&N, 3" exhaust. I’ve got the efi head and I’m having large valve with 3 angle seats put in it and skimmed.

Cheers
Andy.

yes

either that or none at all

Don't have the head skimmed if it doesn't need it this will RAISE your compression

Not if using a coil pack, you'll require a cam sensor instead

How much do you think all the cossie stuff (ECU, loom, sensors, etc) should cost? And where would you recommend I get it?

Varies from place to place, personally i would get all new sensors, have you thought about aftermarket management? some of these come with a loom at very good prices now

The best price i have is 450 for all of it, bar the fuel pump ,as i was going to buy that new, not much difference in price and the head + inlet. How much would an after market management system be? what advantages would one have? are they as good as the cossie setup? and where would i get one from?

There are several options on aftermarket management some of which are better features than cosworth and some that arn't, cossie management is capable of most things

After looking at Omex aftermarket management, and although it looked very good, I decided it was a little to pricey for my budget!

So I bought all the cossie stuff last night. The guy I bought it off said that it would still require a modified dizzy tho! I just hope I got the correct stuff now!

The ECU reads IAW 045 (weber marelli). Is it possible to still do the conversion with this ECU, loom and sensors? and do I need a modified dizzy?

Cheers,

Andy.
