Wow i expected the engines to be thousands being so new.  Whats the fuel setup like on this with the direct injection? Is it just a supply and return?

Just need a 5 bar supply to the High pressure pump on the engine and it's a returnless system

What does the inside of your car look like with this conversion? Aftermarket clocks needed?

I've currently got a broken foot so unable to get in the garage to get a pic , i have the specialist component delta dash, and just the Ford gear selector etc will put i pic up when I can

Thanks.  I'm guessing the selector is a cable linkage rather than rods?

The only downside at the min is the pure cost of the management side of things as the sc ecu is the most cost effective option but still has a hefty price tag, if the bosch EDC 17 ecu (the one that comes on the Ford)can be deimobilised and tinkered with in the near future, it will be perfect as they are a tenth of the price of all the other options with sc delta ecus at 1400+vat inc the loom where as life racing are 2-4K without the loom.
I'm running the delta ecu with no trouble

You could go down the megasquirt route, self build and will cope with turbo engines, won't be any maps I suspect, so it may prove expensive in setup costs?

Your limited to a couple of company's at the minute as most don't do direct injection etc I'm not sure that they support direct injection they weren't when I was looking in 2015

I was being a bit thick or my lack of knowledge on the direct injection technology is showing me up.

Really nice conversion, subframe looks really well thought out and you must be the 1st to get one done too, congrats on the feature in the magazine, hopefully it will get the full write up it deserves.

Yeah the gear linkage is cable so it's pretty easy..

Dom. - thanks, i would like to paint the car and tidy bits up then I would like to try to
