ESKY make over

[Colin]

ill tell you when i finish....work in progress

[mightyboy]

fair enough. my project is 9 months in, and ive only stripped it

[ToranaGuy]

I've had a good look over the pics, man that's just crazy! It will go so hard when it's running, and the front end should be stiffer with all the extra welding around the rails.

Who's the engi that will be certifying the conversion if i may ask?

Engineered?

[JohnnyB]

Engineers will engineer anything! there is a there is a ex v8 supercar motor in a sigma in canberra that is engineered and rego'd tubbed and skinny tyres on the front.

[Colin]

ha ha smart ass ...it will be getting engineered by peter clarke from st georges basin lpg (one of my oppisition ) he knows my work and has knows that i know what im doing so apart from the pain of the cost it should be straight forward .......then the after market ecu goes in and woohoo

[JohnnyB]

would love to come see it when its done

[Brayden]

Any idea what ECU you'll be using?

Megasquirt? I'm ordering one soon for my g/f's gramps's EFI Triumph project. Was originally a mechanical injection car. I'm also planning on using one for full comp control of ignition in my mighty boy, unless i end up shoe horning in a larger engine, then i may use it to run the whole shebang.

Nice to know it's getting engineered, if it's not too much, what are you estimating the cost to get it engi'd is going to be? My g/f has seen pics & is saying I WANT I WANT!

microtec they are pretty spoy on out of the box i have previously spoken to one of the programmers
engineering should be straight forward but it will still cost between $300 --$500

Mine was out by a mile. Hopefully the base map for your motor is more accurate!

Great ECU though.

[Colin]

thats probibly cause your motor is a 800 instead of a 1ltr i went through all those excessive fuel problems with the 1ltr carb on my turbo 800

[Brayden]

It wasn't just fueling issues but ignition curve and other settings too. I still need to install an oxygen sensor in the exhaust though.

The good thing about the 800 is that I don't need to meet any emissions standards.

[Colin]

ive allowed for that and left the cat (in the manifold ) intact ....for now

That's a good idea, get it thru the engi report with as much standard bits as possible, then the vic roads inspection, then once you have it home, go nuts!
