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.

Spell it out for me. Does a vacuum line have to be plumbed to the MS ECU then?

Spell it out for me. Does a vacuum line have to be plumbed to the MS ECU then? Exactly. Which is why I think McMark likes the MicroSquirt. The MegaSquirt would need to be installed in the engine bay so the vacuum line isn't too long. The MicroSquirt can be more remote if desired. -Josh2 |

If you do add an additional one, the barometeric correction can be constantly monitored with the onboard MAP. vs Barometeric correction only on key on, one time. Ive read that a really long vac line does not cause a significant delay in your MAP signal. -Rob |
