DIY EFI

#1 Post by SMIFTER » Thu Mar 09, 2006 8:50 am

As I've mentioned before I'm planning on a complete DIY fuel injection system for my XE engine.<br>
<br>
But I've come across this system advertised in retro cars which I'm making a note of in case i cock it all up.<br>
<br>

<br>
Seems a pretty good value option compared to some aftermarket EFI systems. <br>

<br>
Featherweight 1974 Dolomite Sprint - Soon to be XE'd, NOS'd, Megasquirted and 5 linked Lash up to scare myself (and my wallet) senseless<br>
<br>
2004 Smart Roadster (company car!!) - 698cc of turbo'd adrenaline fuelled rollerskate - destined to classic status thanks to Daimler Chrysler bean counters.<br>
<br>
1997 Audi A4 2.6 to chill out after the above and fill with baby products.....<br>
<br>
2005 Trek 1400 (ok its not a car but still fast) - <br>
a bit like Lance Armstrong but slower and fatter</p><i></i>

megasquirt can be bought ready built for half the cost of that ecu.<br>

Its still cheaper than a weber alpha, emerald or mbe system.<br>
<br>
Megasquirt is a lot cheaper, but it needs a lot more tweaking to get it running properly. <br>
<br>
I'm still planning on using megasquirt but I need to have an escape plan if it all goes horribly wrong!

i think the only reason megasquirt needs more tweaking is because any sensors can be used, rather than buying overpriced sensors specified for weber/emerald/mbe ecu's.<br>
