Here is a link to a web page on my install. Dave's 914 Megasquirt Conversion. I've been trying to get info that may help others up on it. I feel that the values listed in the tables will get most 2.0 L type IV's running. All, including, mine will need more tuning.

I've had it running for about a month on the MS and I'm gaining confidence in it. Went to the breakfast in Seattle on Saturday and it ran well albeit kinda rich. The enrichment for air density as the intake air temperature rises is still not right so it is too lean right after warmup enrichment but too rich when fully warm. When I get that figured out I should be able to lean it out more. Still, I travelled about 80 miles without a missfire.

Some of the guys that drove it and might want to chime in.

Now I need to go back and retune which means a hour or so with my wife driving. If the transmission and clutch survive I should have a passable fueling map...   My other option is for me to drive and have my 13 year old son tune. He thinks this a rolling video game...

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Dave this all sound SO familliar! My wife won't drive a stick and I don't have a 13yr old son, so I tune by myself (what a joke) or go get my dad to help. He doesn't know the tuning program so he drives and I tune. The only problem is that I can't keep him on task. He just want's to do WOT blasts through all the gears. If I want to work on part-load cruising, acceleration enrichment, or temperature compensation I have to do it between his runs. Oh well (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) . We have a good time together.

All my naturally aspirated tuning has been done since last fall. I've got to drop the motor/tranny this week for a clutch job and I'm going to try to finish up the turbo plumbing at the same time, so in a few weeks I'll grab Dad again for some more tuning time.
