I am in the process of rebuilding my 2.4 engine with 2.2S pistons, S cams, and am going to install TWM individual throttle bodies. I am looking around for some fuel and ignition systems for this engine. I have looked at most of the ones out there, but not sure what works best. On some of the other forums, there is a guy running the Megasquirt(latest version) with good results. Another guy is using Electromitive. I have everything except for the control module. What do you guys use on the flat 6 engines? I do not want to spend a ton of money either. I want something reliable. I hated my carbs.

I have been running a Megasquirt system for almost 3 years. I only had one problem and that was user error. I accidently unplugged device flashing a new tune. This corrupted the firmware. Wasn't a problem to reload, I just could not figure out what the problem was.
btw, MS is a very powerful ECU. It is true that it is not Plug-n-play compared to some systems. However, if you are willing to learn the basics of fuel injection theory you can build a system that is nearly as integrated as multi-thousand dollar systems. The new MSIII is fully sequential fuel and spark through 8-cylinders. I do not think you need sequential unless emissions are a concern. I doubt your 2.4 is. btw, While the early S cam is wonderful there are some more modern cams that will provide much better engine performance. Think E torque curve down low and 906 up high. I think you should contact John Dougherty at DR Camshafts. Something like his DC 43 comes to mind. btw, I would have them ground on a 106-108 lobe center. Anything narrower will give the MAP sensor fits for the EFI. You could run alpha-n (TPS) only but the throttle response gains are in speed-density (MAP). |
