i have a manifold modifyed to fit a ea falcon center point injection throttle body, there is a few different options if your willing to do a bit of custom work
or just try find a 8v center point set up with ecu and manifold and wiring.. thats probably the easiest.
look around if you can find an aftermarket ecu for cheap than you can use almost any throttle body you can mount on

11_evl is pretty spot on there
back to your problem, have you had your tank cleaned and replaced the hoses? you could be getting rust particles shaking loose or the inside of the hoses could be perishing, both of which will give you massive headaches with EFI

you will have to try the normal swift tbi, They are abit rare i think. Considering haw many carbies swifts there are... The gti's have a different head, and manifold

just dont use a 1.6 swift throttle body as these are too big for an 8 valve.

Have you tried a EFI fuel filter , they are a finer micron and will filter out more crap if your tank is dirty , Cheers Paul.
