so £9k on the whole car or just the engine?
£9000 on the whole car, but not a penny on an alarm or any spent on paint work!!!! Booked in for a respray next year, and might go for a bigger bottom end too (funds permitting).

dont do it!

i was down at racepower motorsport today as they used to be next door to where i work and jim was setting up my car, and in our conversation about what route to take with my engine, he said k jet is by far the better system if done properly especially for big power form the 16v unit - worth keeping in mind

Strange because I was told exactly the opposite, namely that K-jet will struggle with fuel delivery over about 220bhp,
so you may be right if you are sticking to NA power as the Kjet is supposed to be more responsive than EFi BUT for REAL power ie mid to high 200s, then EFi wins hands down apparently.

My end aim is for around 280bhp, so EFi all the way for me I think.
