So went to the wreckers in Austin today, not the VW place but a all manufactures to get some of the parts to put together a Megasquirt 2 v3 system to drive fuel and spark. I found a trigger wheel and hall sensor from a ford ranger 4 cyl, and a Bosch oxy sensor was laying on the ground so grabbed that with a section of exhaust that had a bung on it. I have several throttle bodies but I've come to the conclusion to do individual TB from a motorcycle but use the standard manifolds and injector locations.

I guess I should have stuck in a few smiley faces in there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)
The more direct shot at the valve I'll say I've never noticed much of a difference, at least not at this level of tune. My version the injector is only about an inch higher. Some people get stuck on the little details like this, bogging down the project. I admit I have been guilty of this many times. As to your skill level, that's great, but your PM it was easy to tell you had done little of this research. The parts you are showing again tells me you you need to do more homework. We've seen this before peeps think it no harder than slapping a set of carbs on, the reality is it's much harder. The need for research time part I keep harping upon, I doubt if you'll find a single DIY EFI guy here that will disagree with this POV. I'd say 99.6% of all EFI failures or abandonment is due to peeps who didn't take the time to research and learn how to build and tune the system. |
