Re: opinions on my efi journy

Yeah... oversize injectors don't make any more power :) If you are using Denso injectors just check that you have the right clips. The high res injectors have a different clip to low res injectors so you might need to order some new clips. Cheers... jondee86 yea right now I have 7mgte injectors in ...

Re: opinions on my efi journy

Just a thought.... you can use low resistance injectors if you put resistors in line with them to limit the current draw. That's what the resistor pack on some versions of the 4AGE does. Your MicroSquirt® EFI controller will limit the injector current to ~5 Amps per driver. This may be too much for...

Re: opinions on my efi journy

What you have wired up is a generic ignition module. It takes the AC signal from the VR sensor and conditions it to produce a 12V DC square wave output. The output can be used as a cam signal to fire a single coil in the same way that points ignition takes a cam signal off the distributor shaft. Wo...

Re: opinions on my efi journy

Here is the diagram from the Microsquirt manual and I have marked the connections that you should be using is you have the basic 4AGE distributor... pic The distributor should have two VR sensors, one on the 24T wheel (crank sensor) and one on the 4T wheel (cam sensor). The manual refers to these a...

also I CAN NOT find a small port fuel rail to save my life! I have a spare one here in New Zealand. They usually sell here for around NZ$100 and postage to the US will be around NZ$35. So if you get stuck NZ$135 = US$88 and it's yours in a couple of weeks for US$92 (including Paypal fees). Cheers.....

OK... with that engine spec you definitely need full control over ignition timing. So looking at the Microsquirt spec sheet I see that it mentions... 4* logic level ignition outputs (4cyl COP, 8cyl wasted) The key words are "logic level" which means that it can be used to drive up to four...

Re: JDM KOUKI ECU OPTIONS

For a "plug and play" there are a few out there. If you want a piggyback set-up I'd say the best would be a Greddy e-manage. The JDM units can be controlled with a piggyback but the USDM unit cannot. For a PnP look at AEM, I think I saw one available there. So everything ive found so far ...

Re: old ignition set up from japan!

Both the Nodiz (= no dizzy) and Megajolt eliminate the distributor entirely, but need a 36-1 or 60-2 crank trigger wheel to be installed. Another possibility is Microsquirt (a member of the Megasquirt family) that can use the cam position and rpm triggers that are in the base of your distributor to...
