I am contemplating putting a magna fuel injection set up in my NA pajero but I would love to know if the economy and performance returned is worth the effort. Is there anyone out there who has done this conversion who could answer this question?

I put magna fuel inj on my old 2wd Triton 2.6 and could get around 450 to 500 ks out of around 60 ltrs.... ( i drove it pretty hard all the time)
It wasnt that much better than carby.. but it had a shit load more torque and a bit more power.. it was worth it but there is a few small things to get round if u r going to do this urself.

What problems did you have to oversome to install the fuel injection system? What did you do as far as a fuel surge tank? Abpout how much did it cost? Sorry for all the questions but I'm trying to figure out whether its worth it.
Cheers

The throttle body has to be moved from on end of the intake to the other, it would also be a good idea to move the t stat housing to the other end as well, but u can get away with it where it is (just a pain to get to)...
I didnt use a surge tank, i got the fuel pump off a VL commodore and used that.. (external type) havent had a problem with it and it has been goin for 2 years.
I paid $400 for the computer, intake manifold, injectors, etc.
Cost bout $100 for fuel pump (new)..
Lots of other little things that came up..
Rewired the loom myself, so that cost me nothing.
Got a machine shop to move the throttle body for me..
Thats about all i can think of at the moment.
I will post some pics of the intake manifold for u later..

Thanks Ray for getting back to me.
A couple more questions
With the electric fuel pump did you have to plumb a return line back into the fuel tank? Did use use the existing fuel lines with the VL fuel plumbed directly into it?

The Paj should aready have a return line on it.. The carbys use a return line as well..
I used all exsisting fuel lines..
I'm still trying to get some pic's 4 ya too..
