Megasquirt finished

[adyw]

Finally I have finished my DIY megasquirt installation
So I thought I would share the results of my rolling road session yesterday.

Pre the installation the car was reading a standard
262bhp ( fly)
302 ft/lb

Since that rolling road a year ago the following has been added
thermal spacer
Short flaired trumpets
72 mm plenum
Megasuirt Mk 1

installation

results on rolling road


well happy with the results
42bhp 40ft/lb gained

Thanks, and that was only after 1 hour on the rollers, I will be going back for another session later this year 1 of 2 bhp left
I think very good considering I still have standard cam in.

I like how you done the coilpack wiring, I didn't think it was possible to get it nicely split left/right.

Yes a nice job

Nice install, and good figures.

It's similar to how mine was wired when I had the standard plenum. You do have to be a little creative, but it's possible

Well done - it must be a proud moment when you finished it.

Nice one Adrian, bet you well happy do you feel the difference on the road...I am guessing a big positive yes

Happy is not the word, different car, drop a cog and hang on.
It is soooo much more instant power in every gear at every rpm, and all the way through the revs, old ecu went dead at 5200, this well the graph says everything, all the way to 6200

Oh for a new cam, what will we chose
H404 .
stealth

I will now start my guide to megasquirt installation,
I promised for the Griff pages.

I'd be interested to read that.... No pressure mind

[adyw]

Put it like this if I can understand the wiring diagrammes then anyone can. I can just help other people making the mess's I did.

[HRG]

If you ask nicely in the P&P there's helpful people in there who will knock up a CAD drawing for any brackets etc

[spend]

I have 2d CAD, 3 CAD, Int Circuit design, CFD software.... but there is sweet FA that does wiring diagrams... its a real pain to try & manually layout / maintain anything above very simple diagrams... :-(

Yeah, remember you're my ghost writer. SO you write it, I correct it and then I take the credit. That's how it's all done

ady, I have the V8D/V8 Racing's Rob's Stealth Mk3 fitted to my 500 and it is a superb cam, very smooth and tractable at slow speed or in town and then delivers a real boost in the mid range right through to the top end, well recommended.

Thanks, will not be making any rushed choices, plus after the car being off the road for a while I intend to enjoy it for a while, but come Junes service we will see.
