Not sure where he is going with these but other than the fuel rail those look very similar to Jenvey's.

Yep. Coupled with the air box they fit behind current bulkhead. Not cheap. I was looking at them when researching upgrades for the Elise. It got pretty expensive pretty quickly.

The whole set up including fuel rail and airbox is nearly £2k :shock:

I looked at the DVA variant last year, total was fairly similar. But this fits nicely to the engine bay.

Forgive my lack of knowledge by I assume you needs a new/piggyback ECU to deal with adding throttle bodies?

I have never done just a T/B conversion as I modified the head as well, so had 175hp the first time around and 185hp the second, so you definitely need an Emerald for that.

Many have done just head conversions without T/B's, Robin, Campbell etc, but I believe they fitted Emeralds. Not sure if T/B's on their own would be a worthwhile upgrade without associated head work.
