I think that there needs to be a Megasquirt list. ----- Original Message ----- From: Chuck Blue To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, October 15, 2007 9:01 PM Subject: [tcb] Re: Megasquirt? Mega Squirt n spark will provide spark control, I may upgrade my MS I to include the spark control.It is a realatively minor change. ole blue ----- Original Message ----- From: Brian Denning To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, October 15, 2007 8:24 PM Subject: [tcb] Re: Megasquirt? my recent theory and the possible way i will do it is to use a jonnie's 4-play carb intake on a dual port motor with a small holly fi that is made to replace a factory carb. the advantages to the megasquirt is you have control over the pulse width that the injectors will have so you can take a potentially over carbeurated engine and tame it back down to what i needs. not to mention the fact that you could easily throw a turbo on it and have plenty of fuel to back up the air.definately been looking hot and heavy into various ideas in acheiving the fuel injection and electronic spark control. > Subject: [tcb] Re: Megasquirt? > From: evilscientistboo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Date: Mon, 15 Oct 2007 19:31:23 -0500 > > I have presently: > > On MS II 3.0 kit that is sitting on the shelf.
