my first MS project

Post by alekss »

hello to all,

1st of all i want to mark that English is not my first language so , sorry if i make some mistakes. :(

my name is Alekss and i comming from small country in Europe ( Bosnia and Hercegovina ), i work with cars and computers all my life.
i decided to connect that two things and make one ''special'' car, that is Opel Kadett C with 1,2 liter atmo engine.
my wish is to convert him on fuel injection engine.
one guy from Croatia have same car and engine with turbo and MS with arround 150+ PS...

this is my firs meet with MS, so be gently, i have milion questions.
i read everything from pages but still i have some unknown things in my head :)

so lets start

hardware parts for engine which i have in my garage
1. fuel pump 4bar max
2. crankshaft position sensor and trigger 60-2
3. manual fuel pressure regulator 0.5-6 bar
4. 2 new high impedance injectors ( later i will explain why i need to use only 2 on 4piston engine)
5. custom made intake mainfold for that engine
6. TPS sensor
7. IAT sensor
8. 2x2 waster spark ignition coil
9. 4pcs of coil over plug from LS1 engine
10. lot of other parts from cars with fuel injection, but i can buy something what i need.

so here is my ''wishlist'' for project and MS

1st of all, i want to make PCB for MS ( or to buy only PCB without any components)
2- i want to engine run on full sequential fuel injection and spark ignition ( if is that possible)
3- i want to have LPG injection on engine ( because LPG in my country cost 0.3$/liter ) ( LPG isnt necessary )
4- engine will later be a turbo charged, so i need prepraration for that.
if is not a problem against forum rules, i want to say that one day later i will take another ECU ECU for same engine and maybe if i decide to put bigger engine with more functions.

so thats short preview of my project. if somebody can to help me with this i will be happy.
for start i need to somebody says me which type of MS i need to use for this engine setup.
later i will need digital file to make MS pcb layout by my self, or somebody send me link to buy only a PCB.

after that we can start this project...


thanks for reading this, your time, help and comments...

cheers

First, to clarify the rules - MegaSquirt firmware is only allowed to be used on official MegaSquirt hardware - both the board and processor. You'd need special authorization to make your own main board. A board and processor combo can be ordered in several places, including here:

Sequential injection would require either an MS3, or an MS2 with some fairly complicated mods - both are covered on MSExtra.com. Regular B&G code covered on this forum would be bank to bank fueling.
