I've thought about doing a Megasquirt for a while now to replace my carbs. I have a Mallory that works great, so to keep the initial cost down as well as keep it simple, I want to do fuel only, but have an upgrade path available for ignition later. Ideally if this could be done for under $500 that would be fantastic.
So... What is the easiest, cheapest, most simple solution for induction parts? Throttle bodies, injectors, TPS, etc...? Which MS unit has the flexibility to do fuel now and ignotion later without starting all over again with a different ECU? Engine is a 2056 that is built on a 1.8 case and heads with a 2.0 crank, rods and P/Cs. Currently running dual Weber 40 IDFs.

Think it's pretty much the same as the MS2. Just in a smaller package. Not repairable at home because of the surface mount components. I'm running MS2 with coil control. Its takes playing around with it and be prepared to learn. You can not just solder it together and go. Download the manual now and read up on it. Then decide. I did mine in stages as well, first just fuel, now i'm doing ignition. Next step is a modern throttle body with air regulator control for the idle circuit. I am using all GM sensors ( most of it is Bosch anyway) with the stock 1.7 injectors. Get the MS2 or Micro for stock injectors, you won't need the resistors for the low impedance injectors. Also the MS2 gives you a lot more options for ignition. The wire harness is available or I made my own in a few hours.
Be prepared for additional costs either way, you will need connectors for the sensors and the sensors themselves. If you need help with connectors, just PM me, my neighbor has 5 five gallon cans full of stock GM connectors. I'm sure we could dig something up. Good luck |
