Wish my brain would stop, but it just won't Options

I was thinking, with the limited/no availability of parts for the D-jets, what could we do? For me, no problem, aftermarket FI. I don't care too much about being original. But the other guys that want to keep the stock look... I'm sure the Megasquirt computer would fit in the D-jet brain box very easy. You could I think use the factory harness to the box, and even the factory connector, just some wiring in the box from the factory plug to the MS unit. I think you could even use the stock FI points to trigger if you wanted too by adding a pull-up resistor inside the box. Next was the MPS unit. I think it would be pretty easy to install the GM 3.5 bar map sensor INSIDE the old MPS unit, and use the existing vacuum source and plug. It might be even possible to get the GM TPS under the plastic stock throttle position switch cover, and use that connector. The head temp sensor is a no brainer, so is the air temp sensor. You don't really need a O2 sensor, even though it is nice to have. The rest of the stuff for the Djet could be just left in place for cosmetic reasons at this point. Might even be able to use the stock mixture knob with a pot under it to sorta control mixture, using it as a kind of manual O2 sensor. Dam my brain (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

I did it. It was a pain. I included a wide band O2 sensor in the ECU box too. The biggest problem was cramming all of the wires into the stock connector. Dave Darling bought it at the auction for WCR 06 in Portland. I don't know if he ever got it going.

Dave -

I read your post on it & the PITA was a lot more than it was worht for $$'s - unless a wet t-shirt babe with a smile (not more!!?? WTF) - but that "value" & your price may change for the better as CA & WA & other "smog conscious states" start enforcing on older cars.

Add to that that the Obama Admin & Congress want to model a national law after CA's AB32 Carbon controls & other air quality laws - so it will eventually go national I'm sure!

Between that & replacement unavailability - between yourself, McMark, underthetire & other EFI gurus on here - you may just find that stealth EFI's will become a profitable if not booming business for the older collector cars! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

The old clunkers not collector material will just get junked &/or turned in for the cash-for-clunkers programs like CA has had for older cars that don't pass the smog test. IIRC they pay up to $1000 to take them off the road, in order for CARB to help meet the Federal EPA's smog rules as needed to maintain Federal transportation funding.

BTW - they'd still have to meet the emissions sniff tests up to the MY vehicles where the ECU can be directly monitored digitally (`92 +/- IIRC)

IIRC they have similarly restrictive rules & programs up in the Pungent Sound area, don't they? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Time to get to work on improving it again DAve & all! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)
