    This was talked about in another post but not in detail :)

    what do you need to convert the carbs to t/b's and what additional parts would you need ecu etc etc ?

    i've been doinn this for a bike engine at uni, we have no budget but we have a mappable DTA ecu so i thought it'd be rude not to use it, so i got on with butchering the carbs

    this is what they would've looked like before (not the actual set i chopped up) would be a nice idea just to change the spacing and stick them on a car as they are, without changing to fuel injection - proly good gains without the cost/hassle - seen it done on a Hollandish polo here:

    here you can see how much of the carb i didn't use

    this is what i ended up with - sorry about the poor image quality

    i'll let you know how it runs in a few of weeks when we've got it running, the only other things that need doing apart from chopping them up and drilling holes for the injectors is a mount for the throttle position sensor needs making with attachment to the spindle, and
    some sort of an airbox
