I had it on my Turbo'd Mazda.

A bit tempramental & it was a good kit too. You soon get bored with it though once you've shown your mates what its like a few times. Crap for trackdays.

And get it wrong and it'll be a very rapidly melting engine - like 20 seconds.

Mate,

Grant has already dug me out from another forum. Told him you were my pit crew and needed substantial royalties for your appearance. They also agreed to black out you face seeing that your an illegal asylum seeker!

Grnat whats with the No2 besides your log on name, have you lost the password to the original .
I assuming you are considering fitting it to the Tuscan, as it one of the AJP types it might be worth contacting the guy that runs NoS on his purple cerbie, I think he's in the Essex region of the TVRCC, try the RO if thats any help.
Failing that we have our own NoS purple cerb in Hants run by Craig, can't remember his log on PH though something like ****4500 I think. Craig has very recently fitted it, but the guy in Essex has had it for a year or so and possibily may have more info.

btw Craig does browse PH quiet often so should pick this thread up.

me it can be done cheaper than that!!!!! Mind you if he paid for the install then sounds right. If I think of the time I've spent on mine....

Not sure but I think that big price would have included getting a full mapped Emerald ECU done as well. Could be wrong, I'm sure Craig wil clarify it at some point.

I fitted the system my self!
The entire system, Full direct port pro-fogger with controller and all toys was around £1000 imported direct from NOS.

The Pro-fogger system alone retails in this counrty for £1750.

So what's cheaper?

As for the emerald unit I've not done anything about it YET!

I'm going to give it another 4-8 weeks to see what develops.

...but your profile says £2400 or have I got it wrong? A grand seems a good buy, and a self install will have saved you loads.

Is it a dry system relying on the original injectors for the fuel, or a wet system? Mines a wet system using a plate under the carb. good for 175bhp. I've wondered about upgrading the solenoids, or putting another pair of solenoids and a double rail plate in.

I've got a Jacobs programmable unit so can bring it in at low bhp and build it up so think it can handle more.

Its a Pro-fogger direct port system (wet) that can be jetted to 300+ bhp if you had a car that could take it.
I'm using a throttle based controller & the new NOS unit which is fully programable for build up percentage, time and duration. and the full kit alone retails for nearly 3 grand.
