I seriously doubt you'll get much of a hp increase. If you pull it off and youve got the correct map, you could realeas abit more tourqe in the midrange, the bike will just seem a whole lot smoother. Do you need to sort out an auto choke?

you dont need a choke with FI mine has a "fast idel" leaver, basicly you pull its and the idel goes up by 700 RPM

thats not half as much fun... and involves telling the insurance people lots about having a new engine in the bike.. they didnt seem to care when I told them it's been converted to fuel injection

Your getting me far to interested in this lol. Just been looking on the megasquirt site (http://www.bgsoflex.com/megasquirt.html). That component seen there, am i right in understanding that has to be fitted somewhere on the bike?

thats the one... i've become a member on the forum and spoken to a few of the geeks on there and they all seem to say that if I wanna use ignition aswell I'm better off getting MicroSquirt for some reason..

would still work even with lots of presure in theory, youd just have REALLY bad mpg though...
unless you had direct FI - straight into the cylinder after the ports had closed. Then you could blow as much fresh air through as you liked.
