    Wow, some of their prices are pretty extreme. $385 for a Bosch 910 fuel pump?!?!

    From what i saw of the manifolds used on a local car they needed alot of work.....like most custom alloy castings (eg CRS, Dellow etc) qual control can be an issue but nothing a bit of additional work won't sort. Definitely not Jap bolt on quality though.

    The EFI Hardware kit pictured on their site uses the standard manifold bottom half. They are about to release a kit using a Weber manifold, and throttles to suit, but at about three times the price of the NZ kit. I'm interested in what the quality of the linkages, fit, etc. of the NZ stuff is like, a few little daggy bits inside the casting can be buffed up to shine quite easily.

    More than a few rough dags to remove ! Try about 3mm right through. Injector recess at different depths and spacing. Linkage pulls at wrong angles. Etc, etc, etc.

    Next time I will fabricate a manifold for 4age T/B's.

    Thanks. I might continue with the plan to fabricate something myself then!
