lowlancer Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Yeah fuck all that. If I was gonna bother going Megasquirt, I'd go injected, if I was gonna bother doing that I'd do turbs too. But I can't afford any of the above nor have the time/ability/patience Still, got some bike carbs today so may as well use em somehow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike-e Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 mega squirt so cheap and amazing value for money, you set your moleste up on a microtech you should be alright with a megasquirt??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlancer Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Microtech was already built and "mapped" (like fuck it was cunt) for engine MS you have to build and map yaself right? In any case, fuck injection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cute wee gem Posted August 22, 2007 Author Share Posted August 22, 2007 Cheers for clearing that up mike-e, I was in the same situation as msd have got heaps of different models and thought hey, maybe this can work? If I went for an ecu I'd just go itbs, seems like thats what I'm going to do.. no point spending heaps on an engine conv and end up loosing on power just because I want the whole OS style with carbs, turns out it isn't really the easy option anyway ps brad, I thought the same thing with that Calibra, knowing NZ its probably a shithouse NE or like.. pushrod or some shit why'd we get all the shit base model junk?

cute wee gem Posted August 22, 2007 Author Share Posted August 22, 2007 Also I looked up MS a while back and thought it'd be cool to have a play with. Seems alot of guys using them never get them to work even though they sound like pretty onto it sort of people.. and I'm pretty novice when it comes to injection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike-e Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 everyone starts somewhere. its like spence says its just a big learning curve then your away tuning. helps if you have some background/good base knowledge in electronics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike-e Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 spencer has assembled and molested one and i've helped set one up and tinkered with a few diff ecus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikuni Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 ps brad, I thought the same thing with that Calibra, knowing NZ its probably a shithouse NE or like.. pushrod or some shit why'd we get all the shit base model junk? Oh that Cali is deffinately C20XE if thats what you are talking about. If you are going to do ITB's and Link then ecotec is another option if you can't find an XE cheap enough.

lowlancer Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 This thread rules Where does one get a flange for a manifold made for cheap? Was thinkin, could probably maori extractor flange off and weld pipes for carbs on there...Haha this thing will be so hory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cute wee gem Posted August 22, 2007 Author Share Posted August 22, 2007 cut a sidedraught (if they're sidedraught?) manifold and use those blue sleeve things like what you put over turbo piping/intercoolers. some bikes come with a rubber type thing instead of bolts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteretep Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 just take an inlet gasket to an engineer and get them to cut something up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cute wee gem Posted August 22, 2007 Author Share Posted August 22, 2007 Just die grind them to fit up to the carbs better, cheap as chips (sidey manifold i mean) Or just make some custom runners/manifold like one of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowlancer Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 just take an inlet gasket to an engineer and get them to cut something up? Lol dunno what they were talking bout, but yuh, this was my thought. Wonder if it'll be expensive Wonder what the fuck I do about water lines on SOHC head.

peteretep Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 yeah im just gonna get a hole cut where the water outlet is with a 10mm socket welded to it so I can keep my heater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ke36 Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 flange will be like 80 bucks maybe 100 at a rough guess flange for wastegate (38mm) cost me like $35 so yea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike-e Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 me/sinister/mark105 are sposed to be the cunts with the flange hook ups as we all work at a laser cutting place that reminds me gotta get spences flanges done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlancer Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 yeah im just gonna get a hole cut where the water outlet is with a 10mm socket welded to it so I can keep my heater Problem with 4G stz is that standard mani has thermo integrated. Can block off hole closest to piston 1, and get pipe welded onto flange to allow for rear water hole, then run remote thermo ala isnowi, or other way round. Can kinda see here. Water holes are rectangular ones by round inlet ports Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
