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'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. I'm a weber carb guy. I read every book on them and played with them for years. I don't know beans about any other carb or FI. What books would you recommend me or others to get to learn about building and tuning FI systems for the type IV and 6? |

I read every book on them and played with them for years. I don't know beans about any other carb or FI. What books would you recommend me or others to get to learn about building and tuning FI systems for the type IV and 6? Most EFI systems use a similar mapping system for fuel and spark. Once you wrap your head around theory, the individual engine can be tuned. This is best done with a wide band O2 and a dyno. many manufacturers have forums and you could get a map for a similar engine to use as a starting point. Every engine will require a different setup unless you are mass producing engines. So read every book you can find. |
