MEGASQUIRT'????

humpty · 2005-12-28T15:58:42+00:00

Has anyone had a look at the 'MEGASQUIRT' EFI kits available in the US? http://www.msefi.com/ It seems the early versions were fuel only, but could be upgraded using either locked 009/hall effect dizzy or EDIS crankfire ignition gear that is commonly found on Ford products and such... There is now new version that has some of the needed ignition outputs built in.... This stuff intrigues me no end, as Im in the market for a solid EFI set-up for my 2276 Turbo/intercooled project.... But what is currently available here in Oz is costly or seems to present no end of hassles and expense to set up... So what up with 'MEGASQUIRT'? Anyone here in Oz had a shot at it?

Still further into the intake research.... These are some of the intakes that CE have done... The plenum ova head idea looks cool, but I suspect, it may have drivablity problems on the street and the equal lenth runners is the most drivable concept, but the layout as in this pic is no good for a fan shrouded road car....

Im still looking for alternatives to Leigh's method.... the concept is good, Im just not sold on the aesthetics.

Could I run a central horizontal intake tube of 50mm ø instead of the plenum and have that split into the intake ports? And obviously Id still have to run the injectors at the top of my IDF style manifolds...

Anymore words from the wise?

Hey 71SB....
I have been a regular on shoptalk for a couple o years... And the debate about EFI intakes is ongoing.... In all my years messing with VW's, I have come to the conclusion that Aussies are up there, if not more creative when it comes to this sort of thing... The Yanks are still messing with old school tech. The Euro guys are far more adventurous, but I have been unable to get any concrete comments... I think the more places that talk about these things, the more likely we are to find the best solution! It is still early days!
