One more of the ready-made EFI controllers is VEMS. My impression is that it is a bit cheaper than Omex or Emerald.
Building the thing was easy enough, and its good quality board, its making the software work that prooved frustrating and having spent several years working on ecu calibration for oem's you'd have though that part would be a cinch. Its trying to be all things to all engines and that making it too complicated. Trying to make all different sensors work with each other just and never being sure whether its something you've done wrong became too frustrating. I wanted something that would work so I could just get on and play
Most stuff is surface mount now so not really diy-able.
Happy with the way I went in the end but sure could have saved myself some time and money.
