Yeah, 'er 'uh, HEADPAN62,
 Just a suggestion--Before you throw in the towel on your marelli, contact OTIS by PM.  He has the cure for what ails you!  Later--HUBBARD

This is the reply I got from them... I may do this



Anthony,
Our 50mm Marelli Conversion kit is very straight forward to install. We
provide you all the components that you will need for the conversion as
part
of the kit. If you have good mechanical skills, you should be able to
install this kit without any problems.
The ECM that we provide comes to you pre-programmed for the
application.
From the information that you have provided, it looks like we would
have a
very good map for your application.

If you are not able to install the kit yourself, I will be able to
provide
you with a couple of shops near you that would be able to install our
kit
for you.

The cost for the kit is $1849.00. This includes the Zippers High Flow
air
cleaner assembly, the 50mm Throttle Body and Manifold, all of the
injectors
and sensors that go on the intake system, the mounting hardware that
you
will need to install this kit in your bike, the ECM that will be
programmed
for your bike, the programming cable to allow you to communicate with
our
ECM and the complete instructions for installation.

We no longer have a service center here at Zippers. We would not be
able to
install the kit for you here. We do have Preferred Installation Centers
here
that we could set you up with if you wanted to come up this way.

Please let me know if you need a shop near you to install the kit.

If you have any other questions, please let me know.

Thank You

Comment: Hey,

 You all did some work for me on my EVO years ago, when I lived in
NOVA.
Now I would like to find out about your EFI 50 mm conversion. Do you
have
any approved dealers in the VA area or can I install it myself? Can I
get a
custom map? I want to keep the stock exhaust.  It is a 95 inch with 203
cams
and the stock exhaust that came with the screaming eagle factory bikes.
And
how much does it cost? Would you recommend that I install it myself? Or
could I ride up there and have it done while I wait? I havent been to
your
new shop yet. Thanks

Big price difference between the zippers conversion and actually converting to delphi.Right screamin eagle one,or am I way off base.Just knowing I could use the stock harness is why I wanted to see what you guys thought about the zippers conversion>>>

Probably about the same - especially is you shop around for a take off throttle body that someone has laying a round.
