Agreed thats the best thing about doing the work yourself.. you built it so you know exactly how it works and how to fix it

Have a crack at the efi yourself Rhys.. once you get into it isnt as scary as first thought... im currently wiring in my cossie loom (i know its simpler but..) as long as you get a decent wiring diagram you will be right.. plus when you run into trouble there will always be someone willing to help

Good luck

couldn't agree more with grant, read all the megasquirt pages and its quite straight foward. The only advice i'd give you is start with megasquirt as fuel only just until you get things running, then switch to a spark setup.

There is also pleanty of help here and also on the megasquirt forums (www.msefi.com) so if you haven't check them out have a look (i'm rs2000 on there).

Its a bit intimidating at first, but really you just have to find a spot for each sensor and solder in a wire for it.

WILL WORK FOR BEER!

Or will try to work under influence of beer....?

Hehe, Im a totally unqualified auto elec but do have experience in beer.......

Nah seriously I've never had to tackle a MS but had loom out of my car several times and done a fair bit of sparky work to it, but I don't rate my skills. We'll see how my conversion comes together.

I can probably offer advise on setting up pumps, fuels lines and clips, cheaper efi hose, surge etc if needed.

Not offering my services if your fixing it up to sell it! [}:)]

Rhys

thanks guys i may be having a crack at it myself, but it all depends on what im up to at the moment...............we will see with in the next 1-2 weeks what i end up doin.....[:p]

rhys, if at any time i could get some time off of work i'd help u out if possible, you would probably find the forum of more use though and as said many times, give it a go yourself.
have you got a backup car to get around in while you fiddle with the EFI?
anyways good luck with it

rhys, when is yours set to be released on the roads?and where are you gettin ur tunning done?

cheers
rhys

Funny you should ask, Im hopeful this weekend I can start it. Just need to find a spot for PCV to connect to and put in radiator.
Got manifold on today all wiring done (but not tested) all fuel system finished. Also made a few spare gaskets while I had manifold off.
Because of time of year, it won't get tuned till January when tuning joints re-open.
Not sure where, Mike Dales not at Blackwood Dyno anymore, and I was speaking to him at U-pullit few weeks back and he seemed to like the FR32cam alot so he should have bit of experience at getting most power out of it. but will still ring around.

Rhys

Is mike working somewhere else now then? i was gonna take my car to blackwood dyno tune but if he's not there...dunno where to go then.
