For Phase 1- IVA - bike carbs and Megajolt for ease of emmissions tweaking
Phase 2 - engine change - bike carbs & Megajolt
Phase 3 - megasquirt

That sounds like a nice progressive plan to me David

As for me !! ..... Going to have a crack at running the Zetec with the stock ECU & re-worked inlet manifold.
Mainly just for the challenge & in the full knowledge that this is probably not the best performance option

If it all goes tits up ?? ..... I guess, throttle bodies & Megasquirt ..... or will I !!??

Why not try a 2e3 on a bike engine to be different

Bike carbs and megajolt

I would definately prefer throttle bodies and megasquirt once i go zetec, but as spud says bike carbs and megajolt is much cheaper and easier to do if you dont mind it being a little thirsty. I ran a big power 300zx tt for a year that only did 8/12mpg so that doesnt bother me.

Thats why its so popular, its a good point about power outputs by adrian though would be nice to see what result bike carbs will have on various engines especially a humble 1.8cvh (thats what im using)

thb i will be happy if it achieves 100bhp any more is just a bonus

That will do for a while until the zetec conversion next winter
