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?

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?
