QUOTE(VaccaRabite @ Jul 22 2024, 11:49 AM)  That looks like a really nice improvement over the Microsquirt. I like that they moved the MAP sensor onto the ECU instead of using a separate MAP sensor. I also agree that the edge mount for the AMPSEAL connector is going to make it easier to mount. Not that the Microsquirt was challenging to mount. But this looks like it could get tucked up into the stock mounting location for the ECU. Zach I don’t know anything about micro squirt but the MAP is not integrated like the Megasquirt? |

Zach I don’t know anything about micro squirt but the MAP is not integrated like the Megasquirt? Microsquirt is meant to be a low cost EFI ECU. So they don't incorporate the MAP sensor into the ECU. Honestly, I prefer it that way. It can be a PITA to run a vacuum line from the engine to the ECU if you decide to mount the ECU in the passenger compartment. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I also think the MAP is FASTER when it is directly plugged in the plenum like most are now. Have something mess with the vacuum line? BOOM! Most folks T into something else and the vacuum line should be DEDICTED to the MAP IMO. Now, having a 4 bar MAP automatically included is nice and the PRO versions are designed for engine compartment installation. |

QUOTE(windforfun @ Jul 22 2024, 08:15 PM) Okay, so these are stupid questions perhaps. What is this, why would I want to use this, & how would I use this on a perfectly running stock 1.7? QUOTE(technicalninja @ Jul 22 2024, 11:05 PM) You don't need it on what you have yet... Someday you will no longer be able to purchase parts for your original FI system... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Sorry to keep patting myself on the back...but that's exactly my mindset as I developed my Microsquirt system on the D-Jet. Rather than repost that reasoning here... https://tgadrivel.blogspot.com/2020/03/on-m...914-part-1.html Try the first page (the rest is definitely TL;DR...) |
