no kidding. we should start a pool for one of those with an installed, working, tuned kit done to do a writeup. i'll put $10 in the pot for a detailed, complete write-up on the entire ms conversion (with spark control), including part numbers and sources, with pics. if we get 20 guys to do the same, maybe it'd be worth a couple of hours for someone to do it.
if one of the ms wizards want to do it, and if we get some interested people, i'll offer me and my paypal account to be the escrow service.
if nobody else wants to contribute, i'd gladly offer someone $200 to do it...provided i get the rights to sell it...

Perhaps somebody could write it for the 2.3 with little comments for the 2.6...
Use part number 201-yyy-zz-xx to do this
/* On the 2.6, use part number 201-zzz-yy-xx */
A write up would be absolutely wonderful. However, I probably won't be doing it to my 2.6... more likely on the w114 (but I'll probably just end up sticking a q-jet on it for now).

Heck...you guys buy the kit and the other necessary parts, and I will do it, and get some girls in bikinis for the breaks between segments.
Well...ok...not sure if the wife would be happy about that...but I would be happy to document it all on a 2.6.

ghees... for 200$, it's really interesting !!
I already bought the MS box and i have a 16vlv with faulty injection sys!! just need time to do the mod !
I am curently building a complete setup to put on my motorcycle cuz i want to ride my bike before winter. But i guess that i could put that asside and deal with the car first!
Let me take a look at what i need to do the mod and i'll be back to you on the subject.

Ok, i've done a small list... My guess is that i need for about 500$ of material with what i've gathered up to now and between 2 to 4 months to get the thing assembled and running if i dont have too much trouble tuning it. The most costly items will be the wideband w/controller, Honda CBR coil on plugs and injectors.
I'm equipped to do all the fabrication needed to de the mod
