Tip off for auction item at WCR, Megasquirt in a stock FI package Options

[DNHunt]

MS is incognito. Run programmable EFI and no one will know. ECU, MS relay board, and wideband O2 in the stock 2.0 l box by the battery. Here's a preview. Throttle position sensor in in the stock TPS.

Soooooo cool!!! I'll be doing this sort of setup for my 2270. 100% stock look, 2270 MS POWER! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

I just ordered a new set of boots for the wiring harness. This will come with Megasquirt II on a version 3 board with a TechEdge wide band O2 sensor included. The electronics will be in the box that held the stock FI computer. It will use a Pertronics in a stock dizzy to trigger. The Map sensor will be in a gutted MPS. The rest of the sensors will be stock. This will look stock except for a serial port, 6 pin connector, and 3 LEDS that display the status of the O2 sensor. I'll tune this on my 2056 so it should be plug and play and it should install in the parking lot of the hotel.

This is programmable FI and ignition for a 2 liter and it should pass visual.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Very Cooooooool. That's like a lot of members here. Mind of a 55 year old, body of an 18 year old.






No








Wait









I may have that backwards..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Going to make protests even more fun.

Ain't no Effin way that is a C-stock car. But I can't tell the difference until now. Thanks for spillin the beans Dave I will now know what to look for. Welcome to "STREET MOD"....

Dave,

That sounds totally cool! I won't be able to make it to the WCR, but I would love to find out more about that setup. If you feel like putting more of these together, let me know, I'd be interested!

And no, it's not for cheating, but it sounds like it would be a pretty easy install...

This is great.

I've been wanting to do something like this. Are you going to post progress and details.

[agrump]

I did something similar wth an L-jet case but didn't end up using it because the AC compressor is in the way of the stock location. I did run it at idle but never ran it on the street so I don't know if there would be a heat problem. Most of the components are rated pretty high with the exception of the VR trigger but I wasn't planning on using that. The board just barely fit in the case. The crap on the board is a coating to protect it from moisture.

More progress. The MsII kit is on the way. Hopefully I can build it next week.

I worked on the distributor today. I started with one of our 205A distributors and modified it just a little



First I plugged the vacuum port with a screw since all the advance will be programmed. This will allow the vacuum line to be connected, it just won't do anything.



I drove out the pin in the bottom of the shaft.



Then came the fiber washer



I took off the vacuum advance plate to use later



Took the springs and weights off the shaft and then welded the centrifical advance to the shaft so all the advance is locked out. This leads to another interesting problem since the rotor will get oyut of sync with the advance and there can be arcing in the cap. I need to find a rotor with a electrode that is wider.



Soldered the Pertronix to the terminals of the gutted trigger point plate. The 3rd brown wire grounds the primary of the coil through the ignition transitor in the megasquirt ECU.



Pertronix going in



Here's the Pertronix on the old vacuum advance plate with the ground from the coil exiting out the hole the old condenser exited.



I'll need a different rotor



Finished. It looks stock

Looks like a nice clean stock look Dave. Good job!

I epoxied my 009 dizzy's mechanical advance mechanism. Haven't touched it since.

One of these days I really want to move away from stock injectors running PWM. Someday...

how does MS do with a mild cam...more than the 9550, but still streetable?

[DNHunt]

I would suspect OK. But, it still needs a reasonable vacuum signature. My 2270 idled with about 1/2 the suck as the stock engine did and MS was fine.

[DNHunt]

Here is what I did with the MAP sensor. I'll hide it in the old MPS. First I gutted an old one.



I installed a nipple on the inside of the vacuum port.



I saved the mounting plate from the old MPS and attached the new MAPsensor to it.



I hooked up 3 wires and a plastic hose and that's it



Finished

[Bleyseng]

Dave, I have 'bout 30 dead MPS's to do that to. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Sounds like a nice Friday night with a couple of beers.

[McMark]

That is so awesome! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smiley_notworthy.gif)

Someone is going to be very lucky to have that MS setup!

This is
gonna mzake a great project box. Its already got mounting rails and the main header has 25 pins and large pins that are widely spaced so they'll be easy to solder to. I just broke up the old pcb and desoldered the header. By the way there ia a multitude of mondo old components to salvage off the old ECU including some very large resistors.

You know that lower grunting testosterone sound that leaks out of a guy when he sees a really hot babe? I just happened when I saw your pics Dave. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)
