Gerard Rodrigues has MegaSquirt on his 2.0L. With a cam upgrade, he is putting out 95 HP at the rear wheels and he runs AC.

Gerard (aka 3d814 on this site) has a good knowledge of MegaSquirt and is willing to share that knowledge with others.

I am hosting a Barbeque at my house on Sunday the 22nd at 4 p.m. Gerard will be on hand to educate us on MegaSquirt from the basics to tuning tips. If you are considering a fuel injection system upgrade that costs under $500, is fully tuneable, and uses many of the stock parts, please attend.

To let me know you are attending, give me a call at 623-297-4084. Families are welcome. My wife has a good collection of movies, games and the pool will be open for business.

ADDED: OK, there has been good interest, but now I need a head count. Call, email, or PM and let me know if you are planning on attending. Check the last post for a map and address..

Will the MegaSquirt do anything for a 75 1.8? If so, I may be interested.

I can tell you from personal experiance, the Megasquirt does not like coffee (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)

MegaSquirt is an after market do-it-yourself fuel injection system. The D-jet systems that came with our cars were high tech at the time, but lack much adjustability. Same is true with the L-Jet and MS should work in that application as well. Gerard will know how to make it work. The MS system can be hooked up to a laptop computer and you have a wide range of adjustments. You can compensate of things like a cam change, going with larger pistons.

And for basic stock motors, the original parts are hard to find, expensive, or no longer available. MS is a good after market alternative to the systems costing $2000 and more.

Gerard know the MS system well and will be able to answer all our questions.

Now to Qarl's comment:

I just use a rub on the MS. Same as I do for the Tri-Tip (Santa Maria style for those of you who truly "know.")

Chicken, hot dogs and grilled vegies are also on the menu.

Greg, I'd like to make it. Post an update or email when the date nears. I get married 6-11 in Mexico so weekends have been occupied with crap I prefer not to do, so I can't be sure yet.

Hehe, the image in my mind was a big barbecue, with 4 injectors, a fuel pump, and a big tank for lighter fluid. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) That would be a fun project actually, I bet BBQ lighter fluid would burn quite nicely when sprayed onto the briquettes at 38 PSI.

I am wondering, (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) , just what kind'a wine would one serve with that?

Greg, I'll be there. Since my MS conversion is still on jackstands, I won't be able to contribute much tuning knowledge, but maybe I can get some pointers from Gerard. If you still want it, I'll bring the A/C condensor over too. Let me know if I can bring anything for the BBQ.

I think this is a great idea. People attending who don't have an extensive background in fuel injection theory are sure to get huge benefit from this. People being liberated from "EFI fear" gives me goosebumps. That's awsome.
