I'm new to this list........ So Hello
Well - the title says it all. I will probably keep my 1.7L for at least another year and I want to replace the 33 year old F.I. with something new. I'll probably get new injectors too. Has anyone converted to a Megasquirt on a 1.7L?? Any significant improvements over a properly running stock F.I. system?? Any negatives?? Easy to tune (I have a LM-1 Wideband meter)?? Any particular megasquirt model?? Any recommendations?? thanks Steve C 72 914 81 RX-7 99 Volvo S-80 |

i did it a few years ago when the megasquirt (MS) first came out....ran great and I was told by a few people that it started up and idled better than any stock 914.....
there is tons of support for it, and there are at least 4 guys running it right now on /4 motors with the LM-1, you should have it running darn near perfect in just a few hours... no need for new injectors unless you feel yours are bad, you can get them tested... the newer the MS, the more options it'll have, the older units can be upgraded to some extent and that is what I will be doing, I see no reason to purchase the latest and greatest, but if you are starting from scratch, that might be the best method if you can read and follow simple directions, then you can build and install an MS unit on your motor..... |
