That's a good price for a simple bolt on application. I'm sure you can rig up a cable for the kick down if that's the only thing holding you back. Lokar makes universal cables you can checkout on summit.I have an edelbrock intake and 1406 carb. I was looking at the sniper EFI TBI, but its not ford friendly without the kick down cable, but with the monster tans Im running I may just be able to make that work. at 1400 for the entire kit its perfect.
all it [MegaSquirt] is is the management system for an older model. why would i use it with a TBI with its own management system, like the sniper?
If all you are using it for is fuel and spark then the microsquirt is the way to go. has a waterproof case and connector. it also has provisions for a few relay outputs and inputs. I'm a big MS user and the interface is not that difficult to use every option has a description along with it and a link directly to the documentation. I went from never tuning before to driving my MS tuned car in about 2 hours.You wouldn't. You got vague answers to a vague question. That's how it works. What's the best "fit?" Fit how? Physically, visually, conceptually, functionally?
Anyway, there are numerous drop-in self-contained Holley 4150-esque EFI systems now. The Holley Sniper you already know about, FAST EZ-EFI, FiTech is a new one, and I think Professional Products(yuck) has one. I don't do automatics, but if your AOD is a mechanical one and it probably is, then getting it to interface with any of those is a matter of linkage connections.
MegaSquirt systems can do a lot, especially for the price but I don't recommend them for beginners with enough budget for something more user-friendly, especially if good manufacturer tech support is an option. MegaSquirt is mostly community-supported and the documentation can suffer at times and that makes the learning cure steep, so I don't care for that aspect of it. It is also a separate ECU that will require a big hole and a wiring harness going through the firewall. They also have a really hokey DB-37 computer connector; not even remotely automotive grade. It works, but again they're (usually) cheap and that's one place it shows. I have one in the Pinto. I'm going to put one in the Mustang eventually, but I'll probably add a provision to allow using a more robust ECU down the line.
I won't argue with you there. But it's nice that you can build any circuit you want for whatever needs you have. Taking a single wire to the micro squirt is no big deal, in fact I use 2 map sensors one in my case and one on the firewall (bap)....The user interface (TunerStudio MS) isn't what I referred to as having a steep learning curve; the hardware has a steep learning curve. Want to add boost control? Have to build a circuit for that. Want to control a Ford PWM idle valve? Gotta wire-in a beefy transistor for that. Add a clutch switch? Build a circuit. Table switching? Build a circuit, etc.
I didn't argue that there weren't more user-friendly versions either. They do exist. However, they are intended for production vehicles that already have OEM fuel injection and they cost a lot more. The MicroSquirt doesn't even have an onboard MAP sensor. It's not mandatory to have and a remote one can be used, but its absence totally limits the user to a TPS-based load strategy that is not ideal.
Im running a 1406 edelbrock at the moment so Ill need a TBI system. The MS is not a viable option.
Yes it is. Your missing the point.Im running a 1406 edelbrock at the moment so Ill need a TBI system. The MS is not a viable option.
