Megasquirt is DONE!!... two days of soldering and a serious amount of mucking about with my laptop and I've finally got it all finished. Really can't wait to get it in the car now, spent all day today fiddling with the stimulator knobs (hmm that sounds a bit dodgy) and can't wait to get it set up.

Also have to send out a massive thank you to blackrs2k (Jase) who welded the oil return onto my sump for me... cheers mate ... did and awesome job too, so now the bottom end can finally be put into the car

Will take a bunch of pics as soon as I can

Been getting a bit done on the little beastie.

Started mounting up the fuel pumps etc in the boot and working out the plumbing for that

Got the Datsun Master Cylinder in and the re-shaped the brake lines to suit.

Motor is pretty much ready to go back in, just nee to wait til I get things like the timing belt before I do that. Might wait til the crank angle sensor wheel comes back from the laser cutting place though so I don't need to muck around doing that while it's in the car.

Tacho is now mounted in the dash as well (I got bored while waiting to go to uni one morning and ended up missing my first lecture because I got engrossed in what I was doing). Fits in there quite well, after I had done a bit of modifying with the trusty dremel ... don't know how I ever lived without that thing

Now I have to start tidying up the boot and get the motor back in so that I can finish off the manifolds and start wiring it up

I've had to stop thinking about how much money I'm going to end up spending on this thing, but it's safe to say that my original estimates were WAY off [:I] and if you're planning on doing a turbo setup with EFI I'd be putting aside at least 5-6k and you MAY see a little change... can't blame anyone but myself though as I've changed the planned a lot to do everything the "proper" way instead of the original cheap way, oh well, at least it will be done right... to a point [:o)]

Stairsy, where'd you get too????[x2x][(#)][:x)][:x)][:x)][^]

Not much has been done because of exams next week, but I did manage to take a little break and go pick these up...



made from 6mm steel, 36-1 teeth... also got some spacers made to put between the wheel and the pulley.

Heavily inspired by Andrew's that he made (read: I pinched his idea [:I]) but I'm not that clever so I drew up what I wanted and got them computer cut. (sorry about the crappy picture but I only had my phone)

Alastair

hey stairsy have u stared work on the inlet manifold yet... im curious to see how it comes up.

Glenn

Hey mate,

Yeah I started plying around with it the other day... As I thought it's going to be REALLY close to the dizzy, been trying to figure out if I can easily go to a wasted spark like Andrews to solve to problem or similar... Am I right in thinking that there was a cossie dizzy that had horizontal plug lead terminals on the cap? It's only the no. one lead plug that's the problem. Other than that it seems that it will be a really good fit with careful adaptor design, and will hopefully flow more than the sierra one as well (still not sure if it's worth all the effort but I like to be different )

Got a few pictures while it was out of the shed today...











It's starting to come together... just not fast enough [:I]

Alastair

looking good cant wait to see it done

Anymore updates Alastair?

Rhys

Wow, haven't been on here in a while... too much uni work to do and not enough time unfortunately. Not much to report but I'll grab some pictures of what I've done in the next couple days. Got a break from uni for a couple weeks so hoping to get a bit more done then.

Will keep you posted

Alastair

what's going on with this one Stairsy? i think your holding out on us hey.
