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) |

QUOTE What are some of the benefits you expect to see from this? Smoother running? Better mileage? More power!!? The number one reason is the customer wanted FI. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) But I expect all of the above, or at least equal carbs. I had carbs on this motor for about a week and it's a powerful little motor, but the carbs were never quite 100% (I didn't want to buy a bunch of jets for a temporary carb install). I'm looking forward to how this motor is going to feel with a dialed in FI. I'm planning on doing a 'seat-of-the-pants' tune and then going to a dyno shop to see how close it was and how much more can be gained by empirical tuning. |
