Ok...
I'm converting my basically stock 2.0L (stock cam, euro Ps and Cs) over to microsquirt. Microsquirt is a megasquirt-derived fuel injection computer that's robot-soldered and factory encased in a weatherproof enclosure. The I/O is implemented as a single, 35-position weatherproof connector. The whole thing is about the size of 2 decks of cards. The system I'm installing was engineered and supplied 100% by McMark. My understanding is that he usually provides these systems for motors that he builds, but I talked him into providing one for me. Below, I will document the install details here for anyone else who talks McMark into selling them a system, or who attempts something similar someday. DISCLAIMER: I won't provide model numbers, prices, or any other info like that in this thread -- please contact McMark directly for those types of details. All I can say is that you get what you pay for and this is a top-notch system that will work for the remaining life of the car. The system provides the following components new:
OK, enough babbling, on to the install! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif) |

Rich- where did you place the O2 sensor bung? Did you weld it into the exhaust manifold (F tube) or further down after the heat exchanger? Great pictures by the way. Very helpful!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) (or at least, welcome to posting) I placed the O2 bung at the "collector" portion of my bursch muffler, right before the muffler portion. Here are some pics: (IMG:https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-JHCcvuo2rwg/TsBjCtRBlvI/AAAAAAAAAdI/zgJXJawsIfk/s800/111113_4.JPG) I coated the weld and bung in hi temp paint to inhibit the rust some: (IMG:https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-eWryjk8f8Js/TsBjFUlRtDI/AAAAAAAAAdc/kOr4xwuGyq4/s800/111113_3.JPG) The guy who welded in the bung is named Maurizio. His shop is within walking distance from my house and he always has a bunch of cool old cars parked in and around his shop. Whenever the sun is shining he drives this sweet 356! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) (IMG:https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-sOzzcvNtATQ/TsBjC5G0E7I/AAAAAAAAAdM/HzxYzpikHbw/s800/111113_1.JPG) Over the last 2 weeks, Mark and I have been working on refining the wiring harness some and getting the settings in the microsquirt controller just right. So finally, this weekend, Rich Towle came over and we got the car started! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) In Mark's words, I'm now in "tuning land" and hope to be (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) by next weekend! For any future purchasers of Mark's FI kit -- after I get the microsquirt settings dialed in, I will post the MSQ (settings file) in this thread so you can download it, load it up, turn the key and be 75% of the way to a tuned car. |
