Converting from carb to injection
Ive just aquired a complete injection system from a late MK1 Storm, is it an easy conversion to rip off the carb and install this lot?

Re: Converting from carb to injection
You'll need the lift and inline pump, different cylinder head and all the intake stuff, assuming you have everything fuel delivery wise. You'll also need a different harness, although you could muddle through this diy, fuel pump relay, probably a bunch of other bits.
You're best off with a donor car for any conversion really, even with a native engine as it's all the small connectors, switches, relays, brackets that cost time and money.

Re: Converting from carb to injection
Different fuel lines are also needed as the Kjet fuel injection system runs at a high pressure.
Not a easy instal to instal Kjet, digifant from a Mk2 golf is probably a easier instal.
