I was doing research on how I could
convert a PC into an EFI system, the
MegaSquirt saved me from taking my
PC on the road

No it didn't!  You still drag your laptop all over the place!!!

Nah you gotta build a fuel rail and weld or tap bungs into the intake for the new injectors. It seams intimidating but now that I have seen wilds I don't think it would be that bad.

would you all be interseted in some parts precut for the header? Like the header plate or the collector plate. I think Wild and I can spend an afternoon and make some. I don't wanna make headers cause at this point every rig is different and that is something you gotta design but we can cut the plates for ya. I think that is where alot of the time is eaten up.

Thanks

I'd definately be interested in the header flange, as I have no way to make those with any precision. Let us know some prices!

i've been waiting to hear that for a long time.  what will they be cut with and how thick will they be?

I'll talk to Darrin it is his design so he will have to set the price.

If it is just a couple a plasma cutter then a cleanup with a die grinder. if it is a bunch then we will see about lazer or a CC flame cutter.

Well ya, but I was thinking about a desktop
PC system  

Sweeeeeet, Bro Thanks!!!


Did you just tap the intake or weld bungs in?

I welded them in, but I think I would use
threaded bungs on the next 8V manifold
I build.

Are these the injectors your talking about. I don't see how they would use the same ones on N/A and turbo/supercharged fords.

I don't think that I would trust that guy,
I know the Turbo 2.3 uses 35 PPH and the
N/A  uses 25 PPH, the others are probably
similar, somewhere between 22 and 25 PPH

I have an extensive list I could post, but
it's mostly for looking up sizes and the size
of injectors for pulling from vehicles

hi all, havnt been around for a while, honey do list ya know...

this subject is WAY beyond me, and after going to every link i am pretty impressed with you all that are biting this off.  i do however have a few VERY simple questions after reading all this.... if you dont mind simple.

Is there a way to move or remove my tbi to increase air flow (1990 8v)?

i have seen 'squirel cage' electric add on blowers that go on the air intake, they worth a crap?

and lastly, will the MS or MSII do anything on my stock setup?

thanks

Taking some measurements off the stock TBI I would guess that the restriction would be around the injector  and the throttle butterfly. You fit a different injector somewhere else bock off the holes and then bore out the base of the throttle body and fit a new larger butterfly. Then add a MS to get the fuelling right . Its a large amount of work and probably wouldn't give much of a gain, if any.

Now what about doing that with forced induction? Or the TB work and then porking and polishing the head/intake with a turbo?

I was toying with the idea of twin TBIs,
mostly to get enough fuel, as I needed
a little over twice the fuel a stock TBI can
deliver, this was before I found MegaSquirt,
I would have done it if I could reliably weld
aluminum, but the cooling system runs thru
the intake manifold, and that seemed like
such a pain to work with and route to the
radiator
