So I am building a 2.4 6 with s pistons, solex cams and ported heads. I have webers and have considered a couple of paths. I have used megasquirt in the past on a 3.2 short stroke turbo engine using an adaptation of the bitz racing kit..
I am considering many things from machining the intakes to accept injectors and using the webers as throttle bodies to making a all sheet metal intake.. I would really like use a ecu that has a usb port etc. I am looking for feed back .. Utlimatly the system I used before was bullet proof.. Thoughts? |

Been considering the same thing.
I will go SDS as I have it, but MegaSquirt Pro would have been my next choice. The TBs are the big piece for me also. I have been thinking PMO as they would look stealth, but then the engine would not look stock anyway with a big coil pack hanging around. But as I have a set of triple speeds laying around, a set of manifolds, and it looks like I am well on my way. Now to rig up the ignition and fuel timing into the flywheel. |

Steven, having used SDS for a couple years, my concern is with the first S in SDS. Compared to either Mega or Micro, it's just too simple. It's lack of sophistication, especially in the tuning interface left me struggling to get things just right. When you do something like this, you are wanting it just right. Otherwise bolt up carbs and go! The prices between the systems are comparable. So, why? McMark was very patient with me but I think he would have rather done any other system. |

He says because he already has the system.... BTW on your SDS, let me guess, it always went lean if you kicked down WOT... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) It was mostly just the feverish masturbation of buttons trying to navigate to the correct 'bin' that needed adjustment. Oh and the 4-up view of engine readings instead of the Tuner Studio dash were everything is in one place. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) My standard caveat applies: SDS works, some people love it, I know it works. It just doesn't fit my needs. |
