Ok...
I'm converting my basically stock 2.0L (stock cam, euro Ps and Cs) over to microsquirt. Microsquirt is a megasquirt-derived fuel injection computer that's robot-soldered and factory encased in a weatherproof enclosure. The I/O is implemented as a single, 35-position weatherproof connector. The whole thing is about the size of 2 decks of cards. The system I'm installing was engineered and supplied 100% by McMark. My understanding is that he usually provides these systems for motors that he builds, but I talked him into providing one for me. Below, I will document the install details here for anyone else who talks McMark into selling them a system, or who attempts something similar someday. DISCLAIMER: I won't provide model numbers, prices, or any other info like that in this thread -- please contact McMark directly for those types of details. All I can say is that you get what you pay for and this is a top-notch system that will work for the remaining life of the car. The system provides the following components new:
OK, enough babbling, on to the install! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif) |

that's a good price. what did you pay for the LC-1 wide band controller? Sean, I didn't purchase this separately, it was buried in McMark's FI package cost. This looks like a great set up......keep us posted. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) |

I got my engine back in the car. Some questions for the experts:
1) there's a gap between the engine tin and the new seals I installed. Did I install the seals upside down? 2) If so, can I remove, flip, and reinstall the seals with the engine in the car or do I have to remove the engine again to do this? See pics...
