Extra fuel controller for ZXT

What is in the injection kit? For "only" $325 its something to think about, I am just wondering what could be fabbed or bought on your own without ending up paying $500-$600 for a band aid. Even if hex editing a 300ZXT computer is more work I think being able to play with things directly is more tempting than hacked in solutions, some of this is just being able to play with the LT1 computer and being used to having "complete" control.

 

Has anyone here invested some time with a Megasquirt? I've seen it talked about only briefly, if even one person had a half decent map to work with it would make it even more tempting.

For $160-$320 its tempting! Has anyone here invested some time with a Megasquirt? I've seen it talked about only briefly, if even one person had a half decent map to work with it would make it even more tempting.

 

I'm still completely baffled as to exactly what to order to get a complete MegaSquirt Kit. The megasquirt website is clear as mud, at night, with no moon and sunglasses on!!!

I haven't invested enough time checking it out, maybe I will do that. I take it that it would be more sensors than ZXT requires, they are GM sensors so they are out there, but hacking them into place and suck and exactly which are required I'm not up to speed on.

 

I am not even fully running yet on the stock setup so I have a ways to go before I look for more juice...

I have one MegaSquirt built, and I'm getting ready to power it up, and test it.

 

To build one, you need good soldering, and wiring skills. That's about it. You can buy the circuit board and pre-programmed processor here:

Then, you will need to place and order for all the other components through DigiKey here:

I would recommend geting the relay board and stimulator board also. The relay board mounts in the engine compartment and makes for an easier and cleaner installation. The stimulator board is basically a tester for the Megasquirt. With it, you can test all the functionality of the MS before you put it on an engine.

 

Best thing to do is join the Yahoo group, and post questions to the list. The people on the list are great, and are very helpfull.

 

The MS I'm building is going in a track/autocross car. I am building it with a couple other guys. It's going to have a 10.0:1 NA L28 in it.

 

As far as the EIC, I would save your money and just replace your stock EFI with a stand alone system when you can afford it.

Pete,

So let me get this right.

 

 

Order the 3 items from the Megasquirt group buy:

~~~MegaSquirt ECU Partial Kit

~~~PCB Only for Relay and Power Board

~~~PCB Only for MegaSquirt Stimulator

 

Place the 'pre-scripted' order from Digikey, which comes out to about $48.

 

That's it?!!
