Mega Squirt EFI
« on: September 20, 2003, 02:40:22 PM »
I did a search for MegaSquirt EFI and came up with customers websites. Anyone know the site for MegaSquirt EFI?

Thanks,
Bill

Ya, I just built a MegaSquirt computer, it's going into
Project Turbo SideKick, I just picked up a manifold
for the injector bosses and some of the other parts
like injectors and fuel PSI regulator. I will be working
on it over the next week or two, I will post the updates
on the Project Turbo SideKick site when I have some
good news
;D

bgsoflex.com/megasquirt.html

This is the main site, I got the PC board, pressure transducer
and the CPU from these guys, the rest of the parts came from
Digi-Key, they have a materials list they ship from, fast too.
took about 6 hours to put the board together, plan on an
additional $35 in parts like the COM cable to hook the EFI
CPU to the Lap/Desk Top your going to program with.

have fun,
Darrin

Been meaning to email ya and see how the megasquirt was coming along.  Sounds like good though.  In addition to digikey another good supplier for electrical parts is Allied Electronics.

alliedelec.com

Just got their printed catalog and they've got all sorts of cool gadgets and somewhat less common parts like Mass Air Flow sensors.  Prices seem reasonable too.

If anyone needs automotive wiring a good source for that is Waytek wire. They'll do custom striping etc so if you decide to rebuild/do a custom wire harness that retains factory wire color codes they're the place to go.  It's very inexpensive to get the custom stripes done too.  I called em and it was like an extra 2 or 3 bucks per spool or something pretty minor like that. (forgot the exacts of it though).  They also have stuff like Weatherpak connectors which are the only way to fly if you're redoing things.  Waterproof, tough, you name it. There's also always mil-spec cannon plugs (circular metal connectors) which are also really sweet but they're expensive.

Just dumping some wiring/electronics/electrical component info while we're discussing electronics stuff.

Darrin,

So you ordered the partial kit from Bowling and Grippo and ordered the rest from Digi-Key? After reading a bunch of the pages at B&G, this is something Im wanting to try out.

Later,
Bill
