- Linkages to suit = AU$150
- Custom inner fuel rails = AU$300
- Autronic ECU = AU$1,600
- 8 x Holden Commodore S/C V6 injectors = AU$800
- Basic Commodore wiring harness = AU$250
- Sensors (2 x O2, air/water temp, tps, etc), say AU$400
- 2 x Igniters + 4 x dual coil-packs = AU$600
- Modify dizzy for triggers = AU$300
- Wiring work by experts (ie, not me !) = AU$750
- Basic Tuning by Autronic expert = $300
- 2 x 1/2 days on the dyno (incl Autronic expert) = AU$1500
That's all I can think of for now - a total of nearly AU$9,000 for a relatively inexpensive setup !!
Kalun's points are really important :
- Proximity of an expert on the ECU (my reason for choosing Autronic).
- Look very carefully into the hidden software lock issue (my second reason for picking Autronic - they have none).
There seem to be maybe 3 reasons for going with EFI :
- Registration : here in Oz, there is no way on the planet that you can get a carburettered engine to pass the emmissions tests - you just have to go EFI.
- Looks : An 8-stack just simply looks cool (& can easily be mistaken for a quad Webber setup by non-experts)
- Reliability : Once set up correctly, they almost never require re-tuning (most ECU's even account for changes in atmospheric pressure). I can just reach into the car & twist the key - it starts every time, hot or cold, & runs totally evenly right throughout the rev range.
BUT, if you already have a registered car, it just comes down to looks & reliability - is the change worth AU$9,000 upwards ?
Hope this helps a bit.
