Hmmm for some reason that didnt work. I am interested in the Diesel engine and I have a few 1.8l engines as well as a couple of FI management systems. I am in Seattle so feel free to call me and I can give you some ideas. I have done many of these conversions so I can most likely answer any question you have. The Bonus is that I am in Seattle too!
