I'm installing a MicroSquirt system.
This thread IS NOT A MS/SDS/Carb DEBATE! If you don't like MS please leave. I'm tired of the endless, worthless debate. Anyway, now on the the fun stuff! I am using the TPS off of a Volvo 850 because it's a Bosch sensor (I like sticking with OEM manufacturers when possible), fits the D-shaft throttle and is appropriate for MS. I made the adapter plate today. Attached image(s) |

Batch firing injectors is fine... The ignition is where the microsquirt falls short. We have built a bunch of /6s w/o distributors... so I kind of forget that distributors still exist (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
We like to use waste fire ignition for the /6s we build and you can get a sort of semi-sequential without a cam sensor with some systems, That takes 6 drivers minimum. So yes I spoke off the cuff because the microsquirt cant handle the applications we typically set up. Revisiting the microsquirt site, you can do a 6 using a distributor, and batch firing the injectors. If the software could let you reassign one of the injection drivers to be an ignition driver the many more possibilites open up. After all I have a 900hp 935 clone in my stable that has batch fired injectors (and waste spark ignition) Sorry for the confusion... I still plan on building a car with either microsquit or megasquirt at some point, justs to see what its all about...We've had all the big name EFI systems come through the shop in the past few year... I still like to see what else is out there.. |
