ek61, your right about the vk efi computer not being programable. HOWEVER you are able to adjust the air flow meter to get it richer/leaner if needs be and i have found this allows you to pretty much adjust it to suit most worked motors.

i was about to ask how you got around the firewall with the manifold, but then i read the post about moving the engine forward .... i took the aggresive approach with my ek and hammered the firewall in just enough for it to clear. (yours looks like a much neater result) :wink:

heres a picture of mine in the EK Wagon, might give you some ideas for the air flow meter mounting ... 3inch exhaust pipe works a charm!

Regards,

Sammy.
