Just watching Car SOS and the Triumph Herald is on.

The kit used is Emerald and the bloke who brought it onto the programme is Dave Walker who runs the company.

Here is a link, its the carb to TB kit you would need at £1896 inc Vat.

It looks very comprehensive but there are some additional parts required. First is a fuel swirl pot, budget £100, then you need a low pressure lift fuel pump budget £50 and a HP fuel filter for another £50 and then you need high pressure fuel lines. The throttle linkage will either need modifying or a custom one. Don't even thinkl about using standard rubber, it turns to Gorilla Snot in no time with modern fuels. I used TFE hose and fittings from Think Automotive and its not cheap. The fittings and hose alone cost £200 making them myself, if you need them making at the factory its more cash. You will also need to provide a return to the fuel tank, I fabricated one via the sender which cost about £10 in parts but this is not always possible.

That little lot is £2300.

If you don't have a suitable inlet manifold budget another £200, thats £2500.

If Emerald do not have a map available it will need a rolling road or dyno session. Budget at least £300 but be prepared for further visits as they rarely get it spot on first time.

Total £2800.

To get the most out of this you will need a new custom tubular exhaust, budget £800.

And before you go on the road with the extra power get the brakes upgraded. Calipers, discs and fitting kits are about £400 a corner.

Total all in £5200.

And that is DIY. If you want it doing for you the labour will be at least another £2000.

So budget at least £7200.

Worth it for a 27 year old 1300 Kadett?
