I myself have a 89 ea s pac cpi. ive read the mpi conversion how to and i will be doing taht soon. just wondering if any1 had a rough price for this and also any other "insurance" legal mods i can do without going stupid with the price as im yet to get it painted with a nice set of 17s.

CPi on a Falcon S? I thought the Mpi was a feature of them..

simple things like the filter, $12 works well, some injector cleaner, and some Nulon Carby/Throttle Body cleaner too, improved repsonse, about $11 from Supercheap.

Seriously, check the air filter - mine had every bug in ACT in it!

Extractors, we're looking at making group purchases from either Lukey or make Pacemaker for cheap prices, $215 +. You can use these no matter what your intake is.

Moody, the best thing you can do is to find a buggered EA with MPI and take all of the gear off it and you will have LOADS of spares? A friend did that, got the car for $250.00 and got all he wanted. Try though to match the car to what you have. liek 4speed auto or 3 or Manual. So you can use the Electrics

Put it on straight gas first then you have all the savings to spend on other things :thebirds:

GAs, no thx, wrkin for bp refinery gives 25% off fuel, 98 all the way. ive done plugs and filters allredy. lookin for a 3.9l eb2 xr6 to rip the comp and mpi off it, would it work? if not ill grab an old ea mpi. also, mine being a 5 speeder, does it matter using the mpi setup from an auto...what about the comp aswell..

if its worth it, ill run it on a auto comp untill i get the exhaust and headers done, then put in a good perf. chip?? any comments?

i'm thinking EB XR6's are 4.0L manifold might work anyway. There's dudes putting on EF manifolds here and there too. Just grab an EA MPI manifold & setup. It's worth -/+ 18kw anyway.

MPI was optional on everything except Fairmont Ghia and Fairlane/LTD because it was standard on them.

Que?

EA CPI... and you run it on 98RON... What compression do you have? If it's like 10:1 I can understand, but if it's 9:1 or lower, stick with 91RON. It won't ping, it won't drink any more, and you'll save $$$ per tankful. That is, $$$ on top of your 25% discount

ok... i like to run it clean, but what about those rims...willl ba xr8 rims fit on mine??? what can i put on it....xr6eb ones suk

You need spacers to run BA XR8 rims.
Spacers are illegal, and insurance companies dont like them at all.

I bought aftermarket BA XR8 style wheels with the E-series offset.
$1200 with tyres, and geniune ford centre caps, wheel nuts and lock nuts. They are a lot cheaper now though. Look in the trading post.

moody · 20-02-2006, 08:09 PM

where do i get the e series offset wheels? my trader is crap....all pursuit rims for commodores..... what companies make tem and who stocks thgem....new?

Gubas · 20-02-2006, 08:13 PM

Even searched it for you!

Why ask for suggestions when you've made up your mind anyway
More money than sense..
