Bike throttle boddies and emerald.

Will be quicker to RR tune. so cheaper.

Yes the hardware is more expensive than carbs + Jolt. But the ultimate power and torque from the EFi is worth it in my opinion.

run what ever efi inlet you want off megasquirt that way you can chuck most of the rubish std inj stuff and run just the bits you need
you dont have all the antitheft things either
could use the std black top inlet but its big and your going to have steering shaft clearince issues and bonnet line issues with the air intake to the throttle
i was given a blacktop inlet to see if it was any good for my silvertop zetec but i think its not going to fit

No and agreed its not right, but.......

There is nothing in mot regs to say that a cat must be fitted it just has to comply with emissions in analyser.

And just to complicate matters the race roadster I am building has
Jenvey tb's on and Pectel 500 ecu to control the lot.


Carbs on my car though.
