looks great man, you seem to know your stuff.
just wondering where is your mass air flow meter? i could not really see it in the pictures ( im assuming you tossed the old vane meter for a new style hot wire)
but as best as i can tell its not in your outlet pipe from your inter-cooler leading to your intake manifold. (obv this is only importanty if the intake air temp sensor is internal to the maf)
overall very nice build. you go to school for this or self taught?
just a hint if your not already DONT become a mechanic for a living lol. unless you can do things like resto / performance mods.
i have a 2.3 turbo megasquirt 3 project i started on 4 years ago before i became a mechanic for a living that hasnt been touched lol. along with 5 other projects i would rather not even think about lol
maby just me but after hearing people cry about thier problems and having to work on cars 70 hours a week i now hate working on my own cars
Megasquirt runs based off of manifold pressure; a map sensor, which is within the ECU itself. There is a vacuum line running from the intake manifold through the firewall to the nipple on the ECU.
The air temperature is measured via the sensor welded upstream of the blow off valve.
The 70's Bosch L-Jetronic EFI used an antiquated flapper style air flow meter, and not a MAF like most people are familiar with.
Luckily, modern EFI is sophisticated enough that I no longer need that junk.
I restore/modify classics for others. But I like doing it so much that I decided to pursue composites instead, so I will always have that passion, and I don't end up hating cars as the result of a drawn out career of fixing other people's stuff.
