MPFI conversion vs CBF factor?

[TUFED6]

To be fair, it was a bargain and I haven't seen one that cheap since. Plus it didn't mention what kind of condition it was in and I didn't bother asking because I'm not in the market for one.

yeh cool...

[dansedgli]

Yeah I think Ill be hard pressed finding another one that cheap.

Ill get the car first then decide what to do, I think NA will be the easier/cheaper option at the moment. At least until the torana is finished.

Ive already got a ghia interior, mpfi conversion and a cam lined up! I hope the car drives alright.

[Damo]

if you get it you should dump it on stockies. :P EA 5 speeds make good burnout cars. ;)

[XA-Coupe]

how much is a complete MPFI setup worth??

[Sundeep]

I think a FMX/Toploader and a 8 and 3/4 inch diff are in order! Chuck in a 253 while ur at it! You should have one lying around with all those Torrie parts and ИИИИ.

More than you can afford pal */fastnfurious*

About as much as a EA is worth..nothing.

Seriously Dan though, mate, you get talked in to doing ИИИИ to easily. You'll have about 15 projects on the go soon and none will be getting anywhere so we'll have to start calling you Trouty...

Sundeep, that hurts mate. Sometimes you go too far.

I only have 1 project now. The torana is all there is. :

[Damo]

lol @ Trouty. :hihi:

Buy it Dan, or tell me where it is and i will buy it and part it out. Complete t5 conversion $400.lol Double up!

[galapogos01]

i have injectors and a rail if you need parts. will let em go cheep

[dansedgli]

Will do Damo. Thanks Jase, I think Ive got a complete conversion lined up already if I go for the car. Will know for sure saturday when I take it for a drive.

[Gunns]

It will be a good tow car Dan! Then I will have to work out a group buy on coustom made car trailers.

[dansedgli]

haha great idea!!

It sounds the go, I can make it look pretty and have an economical practical car for once

[sd1800]

Personally if i bought a CFI EA for $200, especially a GL, i would just keep up the regular oil changes e.t.c. and thrash the thing. Get abit of fun out of it, its not worth spending money on it IMO. Anyways even with CFI the 5 speed should get some nice burnouts happening :thebirds:

[dansedgli]

But I want to tow!

Its okay, Im not a stranger to spending stupid amounts of money on an e series that costs bugger all :P

The mods I want to do wont be expensive.

Ghia interior would be like $200, paint would be $350ish, cam $120, exhaust and extractors Ill find somewhere second hand. Nitrous I already have, Superlows $200, 15 inch stockies $120 from the wrecker. Stereo I already have.

Thats like $1000 plus rego for a good looking cruiser/tow car with a bit of punch. Bargain!

[EA2BA]

EA Ghia interior for $100 if you want it Dan

[Gunns]

We all have a set of Ghia interior for him!

[dansedgli]

Ghia interiors for everyone!

Thanks for the offer Dellboy.

Ill check out the car on the weekend and let everyone know how I go.

I'm going to have to be the Yagz here, and say I'll come back to this thread in 6 months and see if it has gotten anywhere :P

[dansedgli]

we'll see mate, we'll see.

If I get the car, it will be registered then the other stuff will happen soon after. Interior, superlows, stockies, MPFI and nitrous are definates.

Exhaust and extractors might have to wait. Paint will happen when my mate and I can be bothered and have a free weekend.

It will be sick, i have to get the car first though. It might not run or it will blow smoke in which case I wont bother.

[Southy]

bah its a peace of ИИИИ conversion. as long as you have a bit of car knowladge you will be able to do it easily

[TUFED6]

F$ck you sunny, we'll have a Motec system exhaust on in no time.

why bother with the conversion
think about this

$$$$$= add a xtra 20FWKWS for what?
i had a mpfi wagon ran like a charm
my mate had a cfi 5 speed sedan beat me down the qtr by a car length

CAI:a few qik mods and your set for a cheap run about with balls

Im going to run nitrous. I feel more confident with the mpfi system over the CFi in this case. There will be better placed to put the fogger as well.

Later if I want to turbo it its easier.

MPFI is cheap cheap.

[need psi]

do it you know you want it, there are some freakish cfi ea's out there, walkinshaw's old ea done twin wheels on gas with an auto. but mpfi would be better, if you were in s.a i would of sold you my ea ghia interior. im sure theres no shortage over there in melbourne.
