What’s been going on? (since the last update)<\/strong> Chipped away some more at the Megasquirt project. Did some preliminary tuning, needed an idle valve, exploded a capacitor. Had to call in an electronics expert friend and his oscilloscope to help get my idle valve working. So this is a step because it’s actually run on the MS, but just start and idle work so far. Hey it’s something.<\/p>\n Gas tank sprang a leak after the new fuel pump so had to put in another one.<\/p>\n Made a gauge panel for wideband, water temp, rear defrost, fan switch, usb power and cig outlets. Mounted a 7″ monitor to display my Raspberry Pi 3 which is running Tunerstudio.<\/p>\n Foreshadowing: Rebuilt a turbo. Did some work on setting up a port injected intake, bought a throttle body for it \ud83d\ude42 more on that below.<\/p>\n What are the current projects?<\/strong> What can I expect to see here in the future? (however distant it may be) Turbo. If that wasn’t enough for you, wait for it: Remote mount turbo. I intend to attempt and mount my very tiny Audi K03 turbocharger where my muffler currently lives and run a lot of lines and tubing and a small amount of boost. Because this whole project isn’t weird enough already. \u00a0So far turbo is rebuilt and stainless flanges are machined, one’s out for welding.<\/p>\n Transmission. Hoping to start rebuilding one of my spare TH125s soon, would like to upgrade it to handle a little more power and shift better.<\/p>\n Ok so …<\/strong> The latest and greatest wagon updates, which I’m going to try and keep relatively brief… What’s been going on?

\nIt’s not a SOHC without a cracked cylinder head and blown head gasket! Just like all the others, coolant started disappearing and I had to rebuild the top end with a new head and gasket. I think the cracked head was contributing to some of the running problems from the last update as well. Was down for almost a month but have been daily driving since.<\/p>\n
\nWorking on replumbing my Ford idle air because the first setup wasn’t working. It would suck in air when running the factory ecu and throw a code and not run right. After this I hope to finally make some real strides toward my goal of running on Megasquirt full time.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>TBI to EFI. After getting MS up and running I plan to do a cam swap and port injected EFI swap using a 1.8 turbo intake, throttle body, and 92+ 2.0 injectors. I just need some wiring and will have to figure and fab some brackets, everything else is pretty much ready to go in. Hoping to achieve a mind-numbing 100 crank horsepower from this.<\/p>\n
\nI failed in keeping it brief. Anyway, that’s where usually-functional Project Wagon stands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
