Hi guys. I'm a new member so first of all: Thank you to all the garage and paddock people, you all are great inspirations.
My thought was that if I had any plans of upgrading the HP of the type IV, monitoring cylinder temp, intake manifold pressure and more would be inevitable. Another thought was that I may be able to use two map sensors and get an idea how carbs balanced left vs right. The MicroSquirt controller and some sensors are now hooked up, and working. With a android tablet mounted, I can see or save the outputs. Here are some screen shots. MSDroid app   ---------------------------  RealDash app ---------------------------  Shadow Dash app I plan on gradually progressing from monitoring to controlling.  Hope this helps someone doing the same. This post has been edited by moto914: Jul 30 2021, 11:01 AM |

The map signal is so crappy with dual carbs/ITBs I bet you will be casing your tail to infinity and beyond. Might work a bit with a stock cam, but definitely not with any performance cam. My vac is so crap on my engine, a 2600cc, performance cam, with 46mm ITB's, that I gave up tring to tune it on MAP and now run TPS only. Pretty well solved every issue I was having, car runs almost like stock now, perfect AFR. |

I'm just using the average while making and comparing adjustments at idle. Thanks for the info! The TPS tip may be the way to go in my future. |

I'm guessing you're thinking of going turbo in the future, because of your screenshot?
You likely would have a better MAP signal because you would be running a single TB. |

You likely would have a better MAP signal because you would be running a single TB. Thinking of turbo; but first a rebuild on a spare engine with naturally aspirated carbs, then fuel injection. I'm going for the basics first. |

I think you would be better off in the short term using the old fashioned carb balancing tool.
