After running my VW beetle engine trike for 3 years the need more for more power has come.
After looking round at what to do I decided to convert it to fuel injection then after getting that all setup and running a turbo will be added a later. This was going to be a fuel injection conversion on a budget. £350-400 total ECU After playing with various ECU in the past. Emerald, DTA and so on. I wanted one to convert my trike to fuel injection. due to the cost of these other ECU this only left one option - Megasquirt build it yourself ecu First thing to do was to order one from the states (worked out cheaper than buying it in the uk!) Order a Megasquirt 2 Version3 with a Jimstim kit The JimStim tests everything working correctly with the ECU. So after spending last week building I've ended up with a Nice ECU for £260. Time Lapse of Megasquirt ECU build (Youtube) Injection For the injection side of the conversion I brought a set of Honda CBR600 throttle bodies, Split them into 2x pairs of chokes no to build the manifolds: Honda CBR600 throttle bodies, Straight mounting tubes, Tapered mounting tubes 45>32mm, Original mounting bases (cut off the old inlet manifold) ![]() Started by mounting the taper tubes, (Throttle bodies slotted on the taper tube to give correct position, Piece of wire over the engine to hold them in the correct angle) ![]() Now to tack the upper mounting tubes in place ![]() Now to weld them up, (My TIG welding is not the best and I have not welded Alu for about a year and it shows!!! but they will work at least) ![]() Ignition system: The Ford EDIS system will be used this take a crankshaft signal (36-1 trigger wheel still got to fit that) This then uses a ford wasted spark coil pack (which is now mounted behind the fan housing to clean the back of the engine up) ![]() Engine: This is what the engine should look like (the fuel pump and distributor have been removed from the engine as the coil pack takes care of the spark and a electric pump will be fitted by the tank ![]() ![]() |
