    This is interesting. What does the kit consist of? Would this be a step by step turnkey conversion from K-Jet to EFI with all parts included? That would be really cool. Especially since we could theoretically just get a second FD to modify, which would allow those of us with smog check requirements to switch back and forth from k-jet to EFI when the time came.

    I am not offering a step by step turnkey conversion. I am offering the major components and a guide on how to install and use them. These are DIY and do at your own risk parts. I can provide the ECU with a base map that should get the engine started and wiring harness with instructions on how to wire it in. It would be the users responsibility to insure their installation is correct and tune the engine. If anyone would like it installed and tuned by me, the car would have to be shipped to Florida.

    As for passing smog, you may be able to leave your EFI system on and they would not know the difference by looking at it. If tuned properly you theoretically should pass easily.

    The 3.0 is already EFI; engine should have come with rails and injectors.

    True. I guess it just needs the crankshaft position sensor and ECU.

    I was just curious whether a working 2.8 EFI setup would be a good stepping stone to a 3.0 conversion, or an entirely wasted effort.

    Well short of the mechanical swap (pulling the engine etc) id say its pretty even. I can get you set up with the bracketry and everything needed if you are interested. But its quite the endeavor.

    Ok here are a few pictures and one video of it running. this is still a rough tune and it was idling a little high because it was still cold. I'm waiting on a few parts to finish the turbo charge piping and then we can go and have some fun with it.

    I have nothing planned for the even fire engine as they are mostly ready to go. You just have to add a trigger wheel in the distributor or one on the crank pulley depending on how you want to run it. If you did both you could have full sequential ignition and injection being an even fire motor.
