Bit of a pig from memory, the efi loom is sort of intergal to the dash loom. I'd put an aftermarket ECU in myself, ditch the restrictive MASS air flow sensor and tiny throttle body and tune it up, you'll get easily 15 % more power over stock. Both the Wolf and Haltech units are very capable and reasonably priced. Oh and if you want more down the track, cam or turbo you can accomodate it with the ECU. They have the plus of being able to run duel spark maps if you are running duel fuel so as to get the most from both fuels.

Cheers

With a look at the wiring diagram I could get it running, their may be issues with the Tacho and Air Con fast idle and anything else that is different between the two vehicles, carby and EFI.
