Stocking Stuffers & Under $500: The Essential Add-ons
Not every upgrade has to break the bank. Sometimes, it’s the small, high-quality components that make a big difference in an EFI system’s performance or a future conversion. These are perfect for the gearhead who loves to tinker or is planning a larger project.
- Premium Air Filters: A high-flow, reusable air filter is always a welcome upgrade, improving engine breathing and protecting the system.
- Fuel Pressure Regulator: A precise fuel pressure regulator is crucial for any EFI setup, ensuring consistent fuel delivery.
- Quality Linkage Kits: For those installing individual throttle bodies (ITBs) or multi-carb setups, a high-quality linkage kit ensures smooth, synchronized throttle operation. Check out Borla’s ITB components for specific options.
- Replacement Sensors: O2 sensors, coolant temperature sensors, or manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensors are critical for EFI operation. Gifting a high-quality spare or an upgrade can save headaches down the road.
Under $1000: The Performance Starter Kit
This budget tier gets you into the core of EFI upgrades, ideal for those looking to experience the immediate benefits of modern fuel management without committing to a full engine overhaul.
- Borla EFI Components: This is where you can start building an EFI system piece by piece. Gifting an essential component like a high-flow fuel pump kit or a standalone ECU can kickstart a larger project. Our range of EFI Components offers excellent value and foundational parts for any conversion.
- Fuel System Upgrade Kit: Many classic cars need a robust, high-pressure fuel system to support EFI. A comprehensive kit that includes a fuel pump, lines, and regulator is an invaluable gift that lays the groundwork for future EFI installation.
The All-Out Build: Complete Throttle Body Kits (Varies, up to $7,000)
This is the ultimate gift for the serious enthusiast ready to transform their classic with modern reliability, performance, and fuel efficiency. A complete throttle body injection kit replaces the carburetor, offering self-tuning capabilities, consistent cold starts, and improved driveability.
- Borla Chevy TBI Kits: For the iconic Small Block and Big Block Chevy owner, Borla offers dedicated throttle body kitsdesigned for direct bolt-on installation. These systems come complete with the throttle body, ECU, wiring harness, and essential sensors, making conversion straightforward.
