I really dont feel like switching to MPFI but I was wondering if there would be any inexpensive upgrades I could do to tune up and enhance my motor?
I already got extractors fitted and a K&N air filter.

Any other cheap methods somebody could recommend?

Thanks!

plenty of cheap mods. rarely will any of them yield noticible results. do the mpfi, it will be cheaper and more effective than 10 little mods.

The MPFI setup is the best and one of the cheapest mods you can do to a CFI engine.
Don't bother with anything until you've done it.

MPFI is the single most effective mod, and one of the cheapest...

I've converted mine and while the car still isn't a rocket, the difference from CFI to MPFI is absolutely phenomenal.

Look at it this way, EAXR6 had a worked CFI EA that pulled 115rwkw. Pretty impressive for a CFI, had a very lumpy cam, headwork, extractors + zorst, chiptorque chip, etc etc. Now a stock MPFI EA will pull around the 95-100rwkw mark, which means that it only gained 15-20rwkw from all these mods. He then switched to MPFI and is now make 150rkw+ simply from the conversion.

See where i'm getting at??

CFi just doesnt have the flow.............. probly gave the taxi's better gas economy when they were new

MPI all the way

If it's automatic and you would consider putting up with a T5, that and a better diff would bring the most benefit. For the motor itself, MPI would be the only way to go as others have said.

Ok I am hijacking this thread!

I am curious (and questioning as always!)... how much does it cost approx to convert? What is involved? Is it a mechanic's job? Where do I source parts from?

ATM my EA is going through a crap idle stage, don't know what the issue is. Just had a thought (DOH!) I should check if it idles lumpier on lpg or petrol. If it is smooth on petrol, it's an LPG issue. If it idles crap on both then there's something else.

Thanks!
