Hello,
I've given it some thought, and I've decided to put in some research regarding Megasquirt. I've been reading around, but if anyone has any recommendations for videos or helpful sources, that would be awesome.
I currently have an 86 IROC Camaro that I am working on swapping a 6.0 LS into. Well, I'd like to eventually tune that myself with HPTuners.
Given the complexity of newer electronics (electric throttle body, electronic pedal and cruise, 4l60e, etc.) I think I'd like to see about building up a Megasquirt board and harness for my 83 242. I thought that it might be a great starting point for tuning, and would help me figure out how some of this stuff works. My 242 is just a B23F, and I'm still working on getting it running on LH 2.0. I plan to start with swapping the M cam for an A cam and an adjustable timing gear, as well. After that, I may do a +T, but we will see. While it's running on the old stuff, I'd like to build up the Megasquirt and try to swap that out in a weekend or two when I get it ready.
The ultimate goal is learning, but having a system ready for and capable enough for a turbo would be super cool. I'm hoping to get away from both the old Jetronic and Chrysler computers, and switch to a much more efficient system. My question is, what DIY MS kit would work best for my goals?
