Danst zetec injection
Time for me to get the engine off the bike carbs and into injection and catalyst, I can't get it through an MOT ( unless I take it to a few
'nice' garages which are miles away) anyway looking at the setup DanST sells on eBay
I'm after opinions regarding quality and value
with scope for future engine upgrades
Ford Zetec 1.8/2.0 Bike Throttle Bodies Kit GSXR 42mm *COMPETITION PACK*
Currently l have a megajolt running mikuni carbs on a Bogg brothers manifold which I'll be selling as a kit to help fund the upgrade.

Mazie, thought that the car was just a blue smoke test as it was sva'd and on an age related plate (car was originally on a single plenum
injection system and went through the test with OEM ecu and cat, '97 engine date iirc) what does the log book say for emissions? This car has
also ran an emerald in the past so may have most of the wiring still there for that.
Your existing system, assuming you have not changed it, is a Chester sports cars system, may be worth giving them a call to see if they can do an
upgrade.

Have you asked Omex what they can do? I suspect you can get an ECU, wiring loom and throttle boy kit from them for similar money as that
"competition pack" 
The Omex throttle bodies are getting great reviews from many users and, just as important, many engine builders who have to set them up......wish I
had some but I fear that could lead to divorce

Hi Ugg
Hows the ford coming on?
your right engine is from 1997, and the log book does quote emission specs not that I can remember off hand , I found one garage a few years ago (
light horn heath ) that passed it on a smoke test but he did state that as the engine was after 1995 it would require a CAT and relevant age related
emissions.
Ive not tried chester sports cars direct yet, worth a shout. Im sure the Omex setup is way more than £1600 ?

Very quick, back of an envelope price from the website for inlet manifold, throttle bodies, fuel rail, air horns, filter, filter back plate, throttle
pot, throttle linkage, injectors, ECU (600), loom, air and coolant temp sensors comes to just over£1800 plus VAT....and I am sure they are open to
deals (they did with me on my ECU plus loom)
For an extra couple of hundred £ you get a much better set of throttle bodies for the application....just saying

If your prepared to spend 1600 then what's a couple hundred more. You'll get a better more progressive throttle with the omex bodies
over the bike ones which can be a bit on/off.

I have the DanST manifold, spacing kit, 90mm trumpets and GSXR1000 throttle bodies on my 2.0 blacktop.
Throttle response is spot on, not a problem at all. Mapped at JDM Dyno and got 185bhp - so why spend more money I say
I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure

But add the vat and then the Omex set up is £560 more - rather than a couple of hundred
I would agree that if you can get "proper" ITBs for a couple of hundred more than a decent bike setup (an the DanSt one IS a decent
setup), then go for it, but honestly don't think it's worth more than £500 extra - certainly won't give you any more bang for your
buck - just looks nicer!

looks don't concern me , its under the bonnet anyway and ive never been one for name dropping.
The Titan roller barrel ITB's look lovely but are way over my budget.
Ill speak to Dan when he gets back from his holidays and see what locost price he can do

Required emissions are printed on the bottom of the front page of your V5
Check that
Take that with you to MOT if it's better
Throttle bodies are just tubes with butterfly's
Titan rollers are different and better as no restriction when fully open
I was told you can't stamp rollers open quickly as they bog but have to feed them in
