Mega Squirt FI computer
 

I got this off the 1st gen list

The MegaSquirt Group Purchase is now starting up. First, we have updated the schematics and embedded code to
reflect the new changes to the driver circuit - see:

http://www.bgsoflex.com/megasquirt.html

The group purchase is for the PCB (with silkscreen and soldermask), all components, CPU programmed with the embedded code, choice of MAP sensor (1-bar or 2-bar) and LMB case - a complete system. The price is expected to be about US$100.00 plus shipping for each unit, provided we have at
least 100 units in the group purchase (price is driven by the PCB
fabrication), so pass this information along to other lists, car groups, etc. We will do only one group purchase (these take tremendous amounts of time and coordination), so if you are interested sign up or miss out.
A sign-up page for the group purchase, as well as a target time
schedule, is posted at:

http://www.bgsoflex.com/register.html

Once you sign up, you will receive confimation when we process the database, and we will keep you in the loop regarding when to send payment, time schedule, etc. If there are questions about the group purchase, email Al Grippo at grippo@jlab.org

and on a side note with this. i work for a small electronics assm. shop. and would gladly build these units for you all. for a mere 30$ plus shipping and thats a KILLER deal. if intreseted you can email me @
Intermtrx7@aol.com PLEASE put "soldiering" in the subject line

Hm, this looks like a pretty good deal. I was thinking about making one myself, but if they're gonna do this, I'm signin up for the group buy. For ~$100 it certainly doesn't seem like a bad deal.

i already signed up. i hope we get a lot of people

I e-mailed the dude to see if the 2bar map sensor will work ok with my application since I'm planning on turbocharging the car eventually.

either way, as soon as I find out, I'm getting me one of those :)

Does anyone know off the top of their heads if the megasquirt could work on a 20B? ITs just a fuel injection computer, so I'm on my own with the ignition (tee hee).

i just signed up for mine. I bet it'd work for a 20b, it is just a fuel computer. Just lie to it and say you've got a V6, and you're all set.

theoretically.

what is it?
 

Can someone tell me what this is? Does it replace the stock engine cpu? How will it help? Thanks

well the $'s i had heard were around 800 kits. I think thats a little high but if they do get a group buy for 800 thats cool. The unit is a standalone fi. computer. it wont do the ing. so you would need a 1st gen of dist or something. anyway email the guy and he will reply to any question you might have. And the price I offered up on the assm of them is SMOKEN thats way less than half what we would get for a reg. item, but it helps out my 7 friends so its all good.

what all comes in the kit? i mean, is it just the computer, or does it already have injectors, fuel rails, and whatever else may be needed? for that matter, what else would one need to put it all together? i'm real curious on this one, but i know *jack* about fuel injection. i'm just trying to figure out what'll yield the best power the easiest. so far, i'm having a bugger of a time with the dellorto. i like it a lot, but i still have a LOT to learn about tuning. and would FI be better if i planned to do a 13bt swap? just wanna keep the options open, ya know?

it's just the parts and the PCB to build the ECU. BadAssRX-7 offered for a VERY small fee to build the ecu from the parts. It's just a fuel computer. You would need to supply injectors, fuel rail, fuel pump, high pressure lines, ect. Goto sdsefi.com and look around, they've got some GREAT info on building manifolds, fuel rails, choosing injectors, building surge tanks, ect.

EFI is much more tunable than a carb, and generally has more resolution throughout the RPM band, so you can easily maintain an optimal mixture, whereas you'ld have to futz with jets and air bleeds and emulsion tubes to get a carb to run well throughout the car's rpm band.

If you have an aftermarket carb, you might not be in the market for a FI system, tho if you want to goto EFI, this is a system that helps make that affordable.

There's also places online that make webber DCOE throttle bodies, that basically emulate their DCOE carbs, but are fitted with injectors, twminjection.com I think it is....

but sdsefi.com is a great site. check that out, it'll explain some stuff for you.

Re: what is it?
 

same here.

wwould this work on a second gen, is it advisable??

its a aftermarket fuel injection computer, it is used instead of using the f.i part of your stock cpu. it should work on any f.i. motor.

PLEASE READ ABOUT IT ON THERE WEB PAGE (1st link)
