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) |

Mark, If I were doing this install I might do something a bit different..
I'd mount the ECU inside the the car.. You can get a nice hefty rubber grommet to pass the harness throught the firewall Grommet. Then the ECU is bit out of the weather, and from what I see of the microsquirt harness, the serial connector for your laptop will be inside the car. In the 911s we mount the ECU under the drivers seat usually, on a shock mounted aluminum platform... In a 914 you could easily mount the brain on the firewall behind either the driver or passengers seat.. and snake the serial connector under the carpet along the tunnel.. Sit in the drivers seat...laptop on passenger seat and tune away (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Just a thought (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |
