I need to make a decision soon. Assuming I can afford it, what system would you recommend for someone who doesn't want (nor is capable) to fiddle with fuel management systems? I have a 2.0 long block that I'll be getting to soon. I don't mind changing the internals. My goal is to have a reliable set up. I do not have a harness or injection system other then the one on my 1.7. I've looked at the websites for Megasquirt and KitCarlson but both seem to be for the serious DIY''er. I didn't mind carbs before but I just don't have the time to waste on them anymore.
HP or economy are not the issue, reliability is. Thanks and.....HELP! |

Actually, the Kit Carlson system is likely to be your best bet. The MS requires full assembly (soldering), as well as setting up the fuelling maps. Very much a DIY prospect, and not suited to someone who isn't interested in that. The Kit Carlson system, on the other hand, was developed on the T4 engine, and is supposed to be pretty much a plug-and-play deal. It's not available, yet, so other than Kit and Jake, no one here can really attest to just how plug-and-play it is. If it's everything they say it is, it's going to be the easiest and most cost effective system to live with and convert back to EFI from carbs, assuming one doesn't have a complete, working stock system.
One shouldn't discount the original system, either. The parts for it are available, and there are replacement harnesses available. Some of the items are fairly expensive (rebuilt MPS, for example), but paying someone else to fit any of the aftermarket EFI systems will cost considerably more. |
