What should I get please.
First up, I have searched for and can't find any info on this subject, so here goes. The application is 150 cubic inch harley dragbike, opcon 2087 supercharger running on alcohol. What I am asking for is a shopping list for starters and then Im sure more questions will follow. This is injection control only, an MSD MC4 is running the ignition. I will be able to setup a crank wheel sensor and virtually any other sensor needed to do this properly so I would really appreciate a detailed list of what's needed from scratch. If theres anyone out there who has all the answers and wants an email address let me know. Thanks in advance.

Re: What should I get please.
I'd probably use a MicroSquirt. Along with the MicroSquirt, you'll need MAP, air, and coolant temperature sensors. Since this is air cooled (unless you made a drag bike out of a V-Rod?), you can put the coolant temperature sensor in the oil pan or thread it into the cylinder head. You'll also want a wideband system to tune it, although it doesn't have to be on there full time.
Re: What should I get please.
Thanks for the reply Matt, the previous motor was mechanical in jection and my knowledge of EFI is zero so I will ask if you could be specific.
1: Is there a particular model or version of the microsquirt.
2: The sensors, brand and model.
3: Wideband, again a suitable brand and model.
Last of all, should I be moving this thread to microsquirt forum.

Re: What should I get please.
There is the MicroSquirt itself and a second item called the MicroSquirt Module. The MicroSquirt is the regular ECU one and the one to use; the module is meant for a core for building your own circuit boards. The MicroSquirt does get periodic revisions, but there's only one MicroSquirt available at a time.alcohol wrote:Thanks for the reply Matt, the previous motor was mechanical in jection and my knowledge of EFI is zero so I will ask if you could be specific.

MicroSquirt can work with a lot of different sensors. The standard ones are GM - see this link for details.2: The sensors, brand and model.

MicroSquirt can work with most aftermarket controllers. The new "powersport" edition of the Innovate MTX-L may be a good choice here - it's inexpensive, and very small, which is handy when space is at a premium.3: Wideband, again a suitable brand and model.
Wouldn't be a bad idea.Last of all, should I be moving this thread to microsquirt forum.
Re: What should I get please.
Matt, Many thanks. The shopping list has started. Since your first reply I have read a lot about the Microsquirt and its capabilities. I will sell the MSD ignition as the MS will aparently handle all I need. Thanks again and I will move to the other forum as there seems to be a lot of posting from bike related installs.
