Jake Raby E.F.I. System for Sale - UNUSED - NEW PRICE!

Gents,
I have an
UNUSED Pinzgauer E.F.I. kit for sale.
This kit was produced a couple of years ago by Jake Raby at Aircooled Technology, specifically for the Pinz. It was a limited-production run and included a 'Simple Digital Systems' engine management system. This is a programmable unit!
I bought the kit as a 'down the road' project for my Pinz, but never installed it.
I had the plenum and fuel distribution box powder-coated in Yamaha Blue, as well as having the fuel-injection bungs anodized in red. My intention was to run Aeroquip hoses on it and these colours would have matched very well with their red and blue-anodized fittings. The pictures don't show it very well, but it is a nice metallic blue that accents the red fittings. Not an RAL colour...but hey, it was tough to locate a powder-coater with anything but black!
The Throttle Body was removed when I powder-coated the plenum, and I had it dunked in a sonic-bath to clean it up.
NEWPrice: $2500 USD (delivered to anywhere in North America).
Price changed to reflect distinct lack of interest
Let me know if I'm way off base here Gents. This cost me $4000 CDN after import taxes, currency exchange, etc.

Only issue I had was I contacted them and they will not Suport it at all (have email from them) so whom ever purchases it is taking a risk that something will not possible work correctly and they need to have the skills to install an unsupported kit.
Just giving you my take on it since you asked.
Cheers,

Wow. There's a company that stands behind their product!
NO support at all?? Nothing?
For a product that people waited about two years for Raby to produce, and was touted as the most thorough EFI system that you could develop for the Pinz, that is very disappointing!
No matter. That is why Forums like this are so invaluable. There are several owners of this kit who are on here or the Yahoo site. I am sure they would gladly share their knowledge and experience (or mapping values) with a fellow 'Pinzer'.

I would be very tempted by tinkering with this if I didn't already have a front diff to replace in the spring.....

What other parts would be required to make it run?
What is the interface as far as tweaking the fuel maps?
What vehicle were the components originally sourced from?
Does it come with an assembly/instruction manual?
Other questions!

I agree with you and for all on the forum(s) - my post was not to discourage but just to pass on info.
Cheers,

What other parts would be required to make it run?
All parts are included, but modification to airfilter canister is required, or, some have used the K+N air filter instead of having to modify.
What is the interface as far as tweaking the fuel maps?
The programmer (beige box in pictures) allows direct changes to be made by plugging directly into the controller (gold box)
What vehicle were the components originally sourced from?
The throttle body and throttle position sensor are the only parts sourced from a vehicle. They are Ford parts (from a Thunderbird, if memory serves me right). Everything else was fabricated by Raby, or new parts (ie: Bosch fuel injectors and bungs, fuel pump)
Does it come with an assembly/instruction manual?
Yes it does, as well as a step-by-step video furnished with the kit by Raby

Great looking manifold/plenum - does it come with a fuel rail? If not, how does that attach to the injectors?

The red parts are (red anodized) aluminum fuel injector bungs. I had them anodized to complement the Aeroquip hoses/fixtures I was planning on using for the install. The injectors mount directly into them.
The 'staggered' base plates on the bottom of the plenum mount on where the carbs sit.
