Looking forward to seeing this up and running!

These have a TPS 
I'd be tempted to try make them work with the micra ecu as a challenge but I threw the loom out.
Injectors I'm not sure but I'd imagine there's some available that would suit. I think these have a 240cc flow rating. Also they would need to have a air box made with the MAF sensor on the inlet.

Not tempted with that lovely green the body is in?
Il put a vote in for the orange then

Just had a nice surprise, turns out there's just enough stretch (after being warmed in a bowl of boiling water ) in the silicone pipe I'm already using to go over the larger throttle bodies. That saves me sourcing some reduction sections
Also I give my old cam cover a lick of paint and swapped it back over
Here's what i found...
spark plug tubes on 2&3 nice and clean
tubes 1&4 covered in oil with a 10mm deep puddle in the bottom

Not really had a chance to play with the mini recently also I managed to lose my rotary burrs so could not port the new manifold but over the weekend I bought a new set so after a few min of work I've got the basic shape of the runners sorted

Next step is to buy the megasquirt ecu

Oooh, building or ready assembled?

Going ready built, I'll be using microsquirt which is technically megasquirt

Haven't updated this for a while,
I thought I'd give the throttle bodies a dip in the ultrasonic cleaner before they get fitted
Broken down into component parts
Pretty clean to start with
After 5 min
After 15 min
After 30
Then built back up
started sorting out sensors and associated wiring for the conversion to injection
seems simple enough :-S :-/

Hows the megasquirt coming along?
This has so much awesome in it

Finally bit the bullet and started spending money ready for the swap to efi. Just bought some sock filters for the ITB's. I'm hoping that if I wait a few weeks I might be able to pick up a microsquirt ecu cheaper in the post Xmas sales.
I had planned on building another air box but the socks won out in the end to their ease of fitment

Finally finished the new inlet manifold today, a total of 6 hours of porting and polishing mainly by hand ( I've actually worn skin away from my fingers) Have resulted in ports that are about 20% larger than when I started and now it has nice free flowing smooth bores.
We have a flow bench in work that's used for working out water flow in mains/valves etc so I might see if I can try mount the manifold on it and compare it to a standard manifold.

I know I got paid and it included my Xmas bbonus which was a nice suprise, so went for it before anything else came up.
For simplicity really, the microsquirt is basically the v2 megasquirt but with out the on board ignition drivers and boost control which is fine for me as I'd planned on keeping the ford edits ignition and the turbo will be used on another car. Megasquirt does offer a lot more features but none of them I'd be using, so it made sense to save some money and kiss ( keep it simple stupid)
