habib99 Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 Does it look like the MAF is not there on this conversion? If so -how is it running -can the ecu cope without it? I thought air flow/mass was one of the very essential pieces of info for EFI. I'm beggining to wonder what I can do without for my own transplant as the engine managment wiring is turning out to be pretty difficult to do!

NorthWet Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 There are other ways of computing air mass/flow. One uses a MAP sensor (Manifold Air Pressure), and is the basis for a popular (at least well-talked about) replacement injector controller, MegaSquirt (MS).

Mega Squirt -you say (in the style of Smithers -Simpsons) So are you telling me that I could do away with all my old ECU stuff and control the injectors/ignt with an aftermarket product - time to search the forums me thinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthWet Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 A recent thread discussing it: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=37557 But perhaps the more definitive thread, if awfully lengthy: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=19123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthWet Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 The folks who designed MegaSquirt offer it as a kit. If you are handy and electronically capable this could save you some money. Others offer value-added turnkey systems for particular applications, but these are a little more pricey and application specific. Are you doing a conversion on some other vehicle?

Yep -putting one EA82T in a 356 Speedster replica and one in a Karmann Ghia, I love these engines -Its a shame almost all the L series cars in the UK have now rusted away - I'm running a legacy day to day with a EJ20 (not as cool by any stretch). Don't need more than a stock ECU (If I can figure out the wiring) in the 356 but would love to get MS'ed on the Ghia - I will be running an on board PC in the car too so will be able to tune/map on the go! Bit daunting though all especially the physical fabrication of a timing wheel for the ingt system etc -still sure if I put my mind to it I'll be able to do it with a pre soldered kit.

habib99 Posted June 13, 2005 Author Share Posted June 13, 2005 Does it also look like this conversion has ditched the fuel rail cannister thingy? Or is it tucked away somewhere else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
