The MegaSquirt Project has experienced explosive growth other the years, with hundreds of new MS installations occurring every week - a phenomenal success! MegaSquirt has been successfully used in all aspects of Internal Combustion engine applications including R&D, Industry, Race, and Research. The MS project has transformed itself from a simple R&D project into a full-featured mature engine control system. To reflect this the support structure has also changed to meet the needs of MegaSquirt Users.
Moving forward, the R&D forums for MegaSquirt project are in a read-only mode - no new forum posts are accepted.
However the forums will remain available for view, they still contain a wealth of information on how MegaSquirt works, how it is installed and used. Feel free to search the forums for information, facts, and overview.While the R&D forum traffic has slowed in recent years, this is not at all a reflection of Megasquirt users, which continue to grow year after year. What has changed is that the method of MegaSquirt support today has rapidly moved to Facebook, this is where the vast majority of interaction is happening now. For those not on Facebook the msextra forums is another place for product support. Finally, for product selection assistance, all of the MegaSquirt vendors are there to help you select a system, along with all of the required pieces to make it complete.
A forum for discussing topics of particular interest to those running MegaSquirt in Australia and New Zealand, including parts sources, group buys, etc.
Has anyone done any tuning of a car running E85 or E10?
If so;
What injectors did you use?
What fuel line did you use?
Did you use the standard fuel press. regulator or increase the pressure to increase fuel flow?
Did you tune using a wideband EGO in Lambda mode or recalibrated for the fuel?
Were there any problems with fuel damaging/corroding parts?
What compression ratio was the engine?
Thanks for the reply.
I've been looking at Megamanual and will also look at the other forums as well.
Was hoping someone might have had a bit of local (australia) experience with what parts work and where to source injectors, fuel pumps, etc.. that are known to be compatible with ethanol. I know it has less problems than methanol but it is always better to plan the build than to have expensive parts fail.
I've been using E10 for a few years now. No problems with material compatability, no tuning hassles. It does damage (stain) acrylic car paint, so if you spill it wash it off. I see it as poor-mans premium - but it's very good.
1984 Ford Falcon 250ci inline 6 MS'd of course!
Now improved the way Ford should have built it with a 4speed automatic.
Also with 3.45 LSD for added goodness.
If you are hitting your head up against a wall it always feels better when you stop.
