Been wrenching/feeding the mosquitoes all day...
Got the ECU mounted, second fuel pump in, regulators mounted, oil pump adapter system in, fuel tank buttoned up, passengers side exhaust done, and started planning the wiring! Whew!!
Tank done. need to wrap the lines in coolant hose or other rubber to keep the braid from chaffing through the tank:
Wired up the sender. it is a VDO 0-90 ohm unit. was adjustable, so very easy to install, and matched the M's tank bolt pattern. Going to do the entire truck in Delphi weatherpack connectors:
Got the Megasquirt EFI mounted in the glovebox. It actually should be called an EMS, not EFI, as it does so much more than fuel. I'm going to do EFI, distributorless coil-near-plug ignition, boost control, radiator fan control, idle speed control, and fuel pump switching with it.
Harness for the EFI. it looks worse than it is...
One of my concerns through all this has been thermal control. I took care of that on the cooling side with the bigger radiator, but, making sure there won't be an engine fire has been on the back of my mind, so, to that effect, I spent alot of time, money and effort on controling the temps. I added wrap to the downpipes, in addition to the headers, put turbine blankets around the turbine housings, and added thermal sleeving to the drain lines. Hopefully this will be enough to control the temps. I am also resarching water based hydraulic fluid for the power steering system. I think I have found something that will work, but need to confirm. It is used primaily in die casting shops and other places where a blown line would cause a catastrophic fire. You can also see in the pics the regulators, fuel filters, and the PCV catch tank. crankcase pressure control is critical on a turbocharged engine:
oil feed system is done:
Remote mount filter system is done as well:
and, since Wisconsin requires mufflers, I added em... if you can call them that. they are very loosely interpreted as mufflers
You can also see teh O2 sensor. I am going to run dual wideband O2 sensors to keep track of what is going on, so if I loose a fuel pump or injector, I don't burn her down. The Megasquirt also has the ability to datalog and self-tune with a 0-5V output form a wideband, which, these happen to do...
added a 4" SS tip to the end, leaned out so that the slash cut follows the body line:
If the ECU works as well as the rest of their business, I'll be very pleased. I ordered it on Monday, tehy built it, and made custom modifications to it for my application, and shipped it to my door in 5 business days.
No idea on the quarter mile time, but, we'll find out. I think I'm going to get the same GPS speedometer that Ray is using is his beast, and it happens to crunch 1/4 mile time...
