You dont have to but i doubt a carbed engine will pass post 95 emissions levels. Not without rejetting them for save the planet performance levels.

do you have to prove the age of the engine ,as i do not have a log book but do have a receipt for the engine , or could i tell them is a 1995 engine
with a fake receipt

Anything is possible. The IVA guys do know their engines though as they do this every day so be careful.

A Ford engine has 2 letters in front of the numbers in the stamped on engine code
To prove engine she the Ford engine code list in the Burton’s catalogue is understood by IVA inspectors
Therefore if you try to bullshit them they will discover you

Take a look at this thread, it can be done, but not simple (still probably a lot cheaper & easier than the alternatives!)

Bike throttle bodies will do the same for £100 . Youll still need to make manifold

I've used the early 2000s gsxr 600-1000 ones. They split apart easily if you wish to re space them. But i reckon there would be loads of equally
good ones from less popular bikes you could get for less.

lots have people have used the Oem injection, you just need a plenum. Gbs do one, you can make one. It takes some beating for cheap and cheerfull and
Iva friendly.
You could put a dog leg in the steering down link.

i have looked at aftermarket plenums but they cost as much as a set of throttle bodies

Getting a manifold and throttle bodies is just the start of your problems. Now you have to hook them up to an ECU and make them work well enough to
pass the emissions test.

I wanted to use the OEM injector set up but did not realise i had a space issue, i may try altering the plastic plenum , i was going to scrap it
anyway so nothing lost and it will get me though the IVA test hopefully

An after market ecu and mapping makes the bolt on solution of the gbs plenum small potatos. After iva the plenum alone would hold 2/3 of its value and
maybe more with the oem ecu as a bolt on iva solution.

yes i have many options , i will go for bike throttle bodies after the iva , so now im looking at "adjusting " the OEM plenem to fit , if
i cant i will go for the GBS one ,and as you say it will sell on after .

I used the GBS Plenum and the standard Mondeo ECU and loom using Big_wasa's guide and all works fine and passes IVA easily enough without having
to get a rolling road map.
Have a look here
