EEC -IV .... soon to be out the door....

July 10, 2005, 04:38:10 PM

Well, I'm not sure if it was a good thing or not, but I took the opportunity while I was laid up a bit after the knee surgery and the wisdom teeth yanking to put my MegaSquirt ECU together... NOt sure if doing while on mild pain meds was a smart idea or not..but we'll see.

It's modded to run the TFI and use the IAC for warm-up only. It's also got the flyback board mod (first pic) so I can use the stock-type impedance injectors.

My laptop is dead

, so I need to wait until I get another to fully test it, but the LEDs flash as they should using the little tester...so we'll see.

Gonna build the relay box and a new engine harness (get rid of 20+ yr old wiring) before it goes into the car. I still have alot to sort out and the fun will really begin when I get into the tuning. :hick:

I read an article in Car Craft awhile back about the DIY megasquirt EEC. Sounds pretty cool. Good luck with it.

This is ed cool. If I had time to finish all of my other projects I would get right into this and try it myself. Hopefully some day I will be able to.

Awesome.

I was thinking about fuel injecting the 200 cube six in my zephyr with megasquirt and some left over injectors from an HO swap. Its a pretty simple setup but requires your own custom tuning & time.

Matt/nitro - You need to talk with Bird351, since I see you guys both share an interest and love for the trusty I-6.

Not to derail this any further, but couldn't you also try adapting an EEC from a SEFI 3.8 to the 200/3.3?

Heh.. I probably killed a good hour or two reading over the MegaSquirt site again yesterday. I blame Chuck. :p

I think by the time you beat your head on the wall trying to sort out the adaptation of the 3.8 EEC to the 3.3, you'd have gotten a MS to run on it.

If you've only spent an hour or so on the MS site(s)...you haven't even scratched the surface

I've spent time on it before. Yesterday was mainly reading the section on boost and the MS. It's one of those things I read every once in awhile when I remember it, or someone reminds me of it.. (hence the blame part) :p kinda like that "Steve, Don't Eat It!" site. :p

Glad to see someone is playing around with the MS. I was looking into driving a CFI on a 5.0L with it, to play in NHRA's Stock Class. Let us know how you do. Good luck, Fred

This is the first of several possible projects I have use for M/S. Hell, even my daily driver turbo Ranger would benefit from it. I'd much rather be using EDIS as the ignition on the set-up in the Tbird, but I'm not ready to get into converting this engine over yet...so TFI it is for now. I can honestly see myself with 3-4 cars w/ MS on it when it's all said and done...hell even all of them, but I've got to start somewhere.

I know this is off topic a bit, but the 3.8 EEC may not work out well on a straight six b/c they were batch fire (this is the case with at least the early speed density systems; I don't know about the later ones at all).
