Damn spark plug wires in the way.Couldnt really see the front very well...

yeah cadracer is the man.. I can hold my own with the chevys but he's definately got us all beat.

oh and the reason why Bruce with the nova didn't just do it the quick and dirty way like you is cause he really doesn't have the room like we do under the hood of our trucks. Man I jump in the motor all the time when I gotta do ---- to the truck, stand on the steering column or frame rail and away I go.

It's good to know that you've fine tuned your carb like that, I'm still in the air as to what I want to do. Fuel injection would be great for efficiency but carb would be simple. I would have to go out and buy a holley double pumper since the only functioning carb I have right now is an edelbrock (1400 series i think) that is on the truck. I'm most likely going to have to go go with fuel injection on the truck since I get into some really hairy manuvering with it (living in the mountains baby) and the carb likes to flood out at angles. Yes I know I could always install a solid float and it will take care of most of the problem... I'll worry about it later.

I just want to go fuel injection on my sleeper cause it's just cool to have a laptop sitting next to you while driving

If anyone wants to go with standalone let me know and I will see how far I can help you, I've been reading up on the ---- for a while and it's the route I'm gonna go (megasquirt yo).

well damn your in luck i so happen to have a complete tpi setup minus ecu an harness.If your interested in it let me know i was gonna use it but i modified my carb to do work at this time. I have been looking into the megasquirt stand alone on the tpi unit but just havent needed it at this point.But my truck is 2 wheel drive an you can barely slide a floor jack under it to raise it.Its pretty low an i like it that way for now...Im running 15 psi on stock internals just put in new cast alum pistons an a high volume/pressure oil pump.With a mild solid roller cam an the 283 puts out almost 400ftlbs torque at 3k 4x4 would love that.

i was thinking of just going standalone all by itself.. as in a build up for the volvo v8 project. On the truck I'm not sure yet.. was thinking about just buying the solid float from edelbrock and seeing how she handles after that.. maybe a little bit of wide band tuning for that carb

It's going to be like 4-7 months before I get back to her, I have the integra to play with right now while I'm living in florida for a bit.

I'm waiting for ultra megasquirt to get released, that ---- looks soooo hot man. Utilizing full time wideband o2 sensors, map sensor and spark control. Man I read all of their website and it has so much potential. You can daisy chain like 5 units together to get more functions out of your car, sequential fuel injection.. I can't wait to build one.

the setup would look something like this:


custom made fuel rails, modded intake manifold (gotta tig them injector bosses in). it should still sit lower then any carb after it's done.

What do you think Ted?

Cadracer

Damn Thats looks awesome.I was thinking obout that type of setup on my caddy motor cuz just on motor alone it has stock 825cfm carb. My desktop dyno shows 1100cfm needed for the 520 cube caddy motor an now add a turbo setup an now i would be looking at probably a 1150 dominator for adequate fuel if i was carb.So fI is probably in future if i want to get good power.
hm twin turbo, twin carb twin bonnets each feeding from each turbo. Would look way wicked....Just an idea.
See what happens in my head to many ideas an not enough money to try em out.

quadnie

man ultramegasquirt would work well for you.. I bet you'll be running dual injectors and ---- with that many cubes.. I was thinking a dual 600 carb setup right when you started talking about it.. that setup sounds pretty insane.

I'm going to have to scour the megasquirt website again (and join their forum) and try and find out what's up with the ultra megasquirt - it is still in the testing phase.

Man you can do more with it then you could with say your basic thousand dollar standalone setup, it just looks unreal. You get live feed to the laptop, no roms to mess with, change your timing curve and know your EGT on the fly man.. simply awsome. I bet you'll have to set a few of the modults in series to control the 16 fuel injectors that you'll most likely need

I'm gonna have to give you a final price and ----.. count on things like wideband o2 sensors, map sensor, various coolant sensors and simple GM sensors for whatever operation. I was thinking around a couple hundred bucks to build the main control box, including pc interface and ----, add on all the sensors and misc stuff you will need and give you a general price.. hell of a lot cheaper then running two new carbs and high rise intake manifold.

I'll look into it all tonight and get back to you, I think the guys are hounding me to go make some food right now.. lasagna sound good tonight? Oh yeah Ted, if you need me to assemble the board for you I can solder it all together, I'm just itching to make it myself.. gotta still make a few DIY wideband o2 sensors too.. damn I need to go meet up with an electrical engineer for some circuit designs.

think we jacked the hell out of this thread enough? If I create a megasquirt ultra thread later I might seperate a few of our posts over to it.. but at least we are giving plenty of usefull info to the TT 305 guy.

Cadracer

Hell ya i think we jacked his thread lol. I think we covered the info for him though.I got 3 305 in the garage think i gonna throw one in the 77 camaro an see what it will do with a t04 single setup.Ill just rob most parts from the truck since im changing to the caddy motor.Im down for the help on the mega squirt.They way i would do it would be fi an then add a nitrous spray bar under the billet throttle body an ad fuel that way when boost is applied.2 fuel solenoids one on with 5psi other on at 13 or 15 psi.think that would handle it.Yeah let me know cuz i know jeff hates me changing directions on these projects.Too much down time for him but he can just concentrate on himself family guys have a few more things going on so our projects take longer......If you make a megasquirt topic ill be there

Cadracer

Did you see this?Gives me goosebumps

yeah that's just scary, I'm not even near those kinda goals.. like 700HP would subdue me just fine. Eventually I would love to do a BBC buildup, quad turbo or some ----.. 454-502 buildup would be fun.

_____________________

I'm waiting for them to finalize ultra mega squirt man, it's going to be on! They have spent thousands of dollars in R&D for this thing, they are making it bosch wideband compatible so we don't have to pay the jacked prices for the honda vx sensors ($60 each versus $300 - both new). Man it would be so sweet to have dual wideband that's full time on your car, or you could swap out for narrowband if say you wanted to run race gas?

Tonight I'll have to dig up all the ---- I already found the other day and see what I can provide you. It's going to be a few months before I'm even around any of my v8 cars but I can help you with design or layout on whatever. The new setup is going to be so nice, 100mhz processor controlling every single electric function of the motor.. man I can't wait! This is more advanced then many of the "pay a grand for our ----" setups.. you can even go DIS and run coil packs .

Like I said, I'll find as much info for you and we can be ready to build one of these things when the ---- gets finalized (they are still ironing out some bugs and trying to get the precision wideband ready). If you want me to solder the ---- together (since this is hardcore DIY) then I got you on it man.. damn I wish I could be there for the install, maybe one day. For now I have to work on some circuit designs for a HMT wideband kit that is costing me next to nothing to run wideband
