Megasquirt
 

Hiya,

Is anyone here using the Megasquirt EFI system on their A/C motor ? It looks like a cool system ... you build it yourself and it is all 'open source' and the price is right for the 'do it yourselfer' :D

I've read up on the system ... it offers everything I am looking for right now, and it looks like people are working on integrating ignition control for the future.

Anyone have any thoughts on this ? This is the last piece of the puzzle for my T4 EFI Turbo project.

Is there a web site for the EFI system.

I might be interested.........

Thanx..
Brendan....

Please post a link to megasquirt if there is one I got to see what all the buzz is for this EFI system thou I'm not liken the build it yourself part anyway I highly praise the SDS EFI system It is the best I've seen but more expensive I'm gonna guess however you don't need a laptop to program it it's all built in!! Here 's a link to SDS site SDS EFI link

Check it out ...

I've been collecting parts to build a system for my 3.0 porsche. So far I have a ford mustang throttle body and racing injectors, pretty much just need the controller and a few sensors. It's been done a few times on 911's so far, and there is a link to someone who used it on their t4 bus on the megasquirt website. Used most of the stock injection.

I'd like to build a system for my GL vert, but getting intakes to work with a 911 or any other upright t4 cooling shroud will be the hard part.

That's the question I'm having, throttle body or port injection with a custom plenum. What do the 911 guys do for FI?

Nick

The 911's aren't hard because they already have CIS systems from 74 and up. Just a matter of yanking all the old CIS stuff off the intakes and making adaptors for the fuel injectors, build some fuel rails, and bold a throttle body on the intake.

Might be able to use the intakes off a 911 on a t4 if you could build an adaptor to get rid of the angle from the intake ports, probably cheaper to start from scratch though.

Great information.

I'm using dual CB 48mm TB's to go with my turbo system. I'll have to plumb the turbo and ducting before I buy the MS kit and hopefully I can build something to work with my 911 shroud.

I just received all the parts to build the megasquirt controller, simulator, viewer and the relay board for a 2270 turbo I’m building. So with in the next couple of weeks I’m hoping to get it put together. There are a couple other sites I frequent where this subject has come up quite often in the last month or so just do a search for megasquirt and have a look.

there is also another site called www.dune-buggy.com with a few people that are running megasquirt one guy has built 3 so far 1 in a buggy 1 on a 350 chevy and the third is going on a tpi chevy motor. Also take a look here for info on plenum design and injector sizing.

I've been planning in this direction for a while, I want to run a megasquirt injection system with a supercharger (from a toyota 4agze) on my type 4 powered beetle.

I just need to sell my carbs to buy the SC.

I like that you its already equipt to handle boost.

Thanks for starting this thread, I finally got off my duff and ordered my parts to build the ecu.

What type of carburetors.???

I need a set of dual carbs for my car.
Let me know.
Brendan....

I'm putting one on my type 3. I'm going to use mostly type 3 and 4 FI parts.

My intake manifolds are a combination of stock type 3 end castings grafted to stock carb manifolds. (cut the runners off the fi setup, and the bottom of the carb manifold) This gives me a good mounting for the injectors.

Going to use the stock pdsit carbs as throttlebodies. The system will look like a stock carb system with injectors.

I've got the ecu built, and will start working on the wire harness.

Where are you guys going to mount the ECU?

Brendan,

What type of carbs are you looking for ?
I have a set for sale that came off a bus (TIV), complete with linkage.

Rob.

OK, If I want to use dual carbs for throttle bodies can I remove the venturies to get better air flow.??? A weber 40mm idf has a 40mm butterfly with a smaller 28mm to 36mm venturie for example, am I correct.? Since I wouldn't have to worry about vaccum with fuel injection. Let me know what you think. :)
