Not good value to me.. Megasquirt can be had and run up much cheaper.
Will that Ford unit run bike bodies for example.
Sure you can get a cheap EEC unit of many old Orion/Escorts....

I'm not exactly sure what it will run. At this moment I am trying to find a way of getting injection onto a 2l zetec that offers reliability
and doesnt cost the earth...

sounds like a expensive megasquirt which just has the same plug connections as the orignal ford ECU, im currently fitting individual throttle bodies
to a 2litre zetec utilising the orignal Mass Airflow sensor and ford ecu which should be a cheep alternative and do away with the problems incured
with the ford inlet manifold and clearance problems, all in costs so far £150

Go with Megasquirt.
It may look complex, as it will do so many different things. However, once you have decided what you want the MS to do, it comes down to just a few
pages in the manual.
Its cheap, its well supported, and pleanty of people know about it.
Unless you buy something like an Emerald or similar, then you pay for the professional support.
If you are going for something lesser. They buy something that is common and well supported.
Just my 2d's worth.
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

This is simply a Megasquirt ECU with a custom connector to allow it to use the existing loom.

Read Me.
As has been mentioned, you can get a well built Megasquirt for less than MTech sell them for. ExtraEFI is a good source in the UK for built units,
it's actually one of the guys who wrote the firmware so you will be hard pressed to find more knowledgable support.
You'll save even more (and learn a lot of useful things) by building your own. All of the recommended suppliers are much the same if you choose
this route.

As said avoid M-tech or whatever else they are calling themselves at the time , they seem to keep reappearing on Ebay with slightly different
usernames.
