ECU doesnt pull that much at all 3A fuse will suffice
injectors 5a
fuel pump 15a
wasted spark coils 15a

Thanks Iain,
Was told by someone well known that a 55amp alternator was not enough. and would be in trouble if I ran lights.

Also Injectors and coils are not on all the time, so total drain will be less than 20a

Once I get the Racer into the workshop I'll try and measure it.

2x 55w bulbs will pull less than 10A, (I=P/V) the injectors and coils will have an RMS current draw well below the fuse rating. Unless you also have a big electric radiator fans and internal blowers etc etc, all running at the same time 55A is more than enough.
