If you decied to go Ecotec and are anywhere near brisbane, I have pretty much what you need to get you started at a good price.

have a look in the how-to section. i'm sure Hozy did one because he was sick of answering lots of threads/pm's on the subject. other wise check i nthe my ride section (VN/VP) and look for Hozy's ride, it's got all the the details he discovered when he did the conversion
