Emerald ECU

Emerald ECU on Ebay. Suspect it will end up silly money though.

Bob, there is another one on there which Ned as kindly linked to, is for ignition and fuel. The one you mention is for ignition only, I mailed the seller to check, not a problem if running carbs only. Are you going for carbs or injection?

I'm unsure at the moment on fuel delivery,i have a chance of some weber 40's that will be very very cheap if i want them althopugh they do need a good refurb.

I'm just making plans for next year at the moment,what ever i do it will be in the locost fashion. If i make it the cheapest zetec instal ever i'll be happy,i'm not proud me

Bob,

If you're after a cheap cheap install, have you seen the Zetec Anglia with DGV carb and modified CVH dizzy run off the auxiliary belt?

Dizzy was fitted where the PAS pump normally goes and spun using a drive wheel the same size as the crank one.

Definitely ingenious.

cheers steve

That anglia was interesting,i've found some very cheap 40's in need of a little tlc so the inlet manifold might well be my biggest expense along with the exhaust and collector.

I've said it a million times but it falls on deaf ears! (except Bob who I think has paid attention this time!) Get an ESC unit off an carb'd Escort mk5. Ten a penny in the scrapyard and only 3 wires to hook up. It's not mappable, but if you want cheap it's certainly that!

Four bits of ali tubing, some hand cut flanges and a friendly local fabricator with a TIG?
If you've already cut them up and jig'd them surely it'd just be beer money to get the welding done.

HTH,
