Thinking Megasquirt again, on the /6, Blame Excellence Options

[Dr Evil]

Scotty B let me read his copy of the latest Excellence where they put a MS derived injection system and put it on a 6cyl motor. The kit was from Bitz Racing, cost $1600 and requires some CIS parts. Looking at the kit I am thinking that I can do it for much less. I already have 2 full CIS systems, I can build a MS, and I can buy the fuel system parts independently.
So you figure, $1600 for an install and run kit --> http://www.bitzracing.com/products/index.html

Parts cost:
- Fuel rail = $10/ft
- Their recommended fuel pressure regulator, MSD-2222 = $75
- Their recommended injectors, ACC-150630 = $230 for 6
- MS v.3.0 kit with everything = $200 --> http://www.diyautotune.com/catalog/megasqu...case-p-108.html
- Injector adapter bungs = $120

Total = about $650

I have not priced an O2 sensor just yet, though.

Mike, awesome, go for it. You might consider Microsquirt if you want to mount the ECU in the engine bay, but Microsquirt has limitations on the # of injectors you can drive depending on the impedance of the injectors.

MSII is evolutionarily way ahead of MSI, I'd recommend getting one of the most up to date Megasquirt boxes with an MSII if possible, even if you aren't going to use spark. Remember MSI is almost 10 year old technology now.

With that said Megasquirt will never be "easy" so be ready for some serious tinkering/tuning time no matter what you choose. Mark and I can speak from experience. It can be very frustrating when things don't work.

And please, no CIS parts, you know what I think of CIS (the equivalent of a $0.99 lawn sprinkler on your fuel injection). Just kidding... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
