Anyone else using MegaSquirt on a LA motor?
I thought I'd share more pics of my setup. You can see the LS coils mounted on the back of the intake. I actually reused my plug wires from the distributor. I just trimmed them and changed the ends. This is a carb M1 intake I welded injector bungs into. The fuel rails are Edelbrock (they sell intakes with bungs cast into them already). Throttle body is an Ebay special, but don't count on the supplier to know what sensors are needed. That took a little bit of research for me to figure out. This is what I ended up with: Early 2000s Ford TPS, late 90s GM IAC, and a modern TMAP. I don't know what they came on, I just found a website that sells them. It combines IAT and MAP into one sensor. This enabled me to remove the single IAT that would normally have to be installed in the air cleaner somewhere. Injectors are from an SRT8 G3 Hemi. I use a Tanks Inc efi gas tank with their pump combined with "corvette style" filter regulator. I've heard good and bad things about those, but I haven't had any problems, so nothing negative to say yet.
If ya'll have any questions, let me know. I'll be happy to help. I'm just finishing up this build. I made my maiden voyage around my neighborhood a week ago, so I still have some work to do on the tune and I'm sure lots more learning.
If you want more info on the car, there's a link to my build in my signature. Check it out and let me know what you think.
