GEMS efi into Defender
So in the hypothetical example where I'd replace my current v8 with an efi one.. How much effort would it take to wire up the GEMS fuel injection system from a P38 to run correctly in a Defender? 1999 Land Rover Defender 110 td5 station wagon

Would love to know what's involved with it, thinking about a 4.0l v8 scenes as I'm running out of ideas fixing my current engine. 1999 Land Rover Defender 110 td5 station wagon

Before you go down this route and spend more money, not sure where in Hampshire you are, but I'd strongly suggest visiting Safari Engineering in Eversley and speaking to Dave . He knows an awful lot about land rovers and v8s.
He has sorted issues with my CSK, 110 3.5V8, 101 and I bought my GEMS engine and auto gearbox from him.
He did AWDC comp safaris too, so if he can't sort your current issue then..........??

Alternatively you might wish to have a chat with Roland Marlow, ACR automotive. He talked me into ditching the LR ecu and all the gubbins that goes with it....we replaced it all with an Omex ecu, custom mapped to my 4.8 ex Gems engine. This gets rid of all the complications created by trying to run a P38 engine ....without a P38 attached to it!

Just sayin'
