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' ![]() 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. Sandeep |

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

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?

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. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/showt...0&pagenumber=6

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. Sandeep |

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.
http://forums.pelicanparts.com/searc...by=&sortorder= http://shoptalkforums.com/search.php?mode=results 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. http://www.dune-buggy.com/turbo/index.htm |

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.

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?

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.
