3 cheers for Megasquirt and my friends Don and Peter! Wow, what a great thread that I'm joining late here. Peter, we are so glad to have you join our growing MS club and with support from the rest of us, including Drew, you will be in fine shape. And to have Don putting this in for you, well, all the better. He did mine back in 2011 and I was one of the first guinea pigs who tried this out. In fact, not only was I Don's first engine install but his first MS too with his partner at the time Dave.
Don and I had grown tired of used AFMs that wouldn't work well or Bosch motronic programming that was not too kean on 10:0 - 1 compression or big exhaust.
I have an MS1 box and it still works fine, although Don created the fear of God in me a few months ago when he told me what was happening with another one of his early dirty motor/MS customers, John Iverson. I will go MS3 as soon as Don or Vern gets out my way.
And the best part, Peter, is not what Don is doing with your car now but the mechanical hanging out with him as you've come to know. We had so much fun years back when I flew him out (2012 if I recall) to swap out one of his early harnesses that had shorted out during the Coupeking engine removal/reinstall. He brought a new properly filleted (as Don calls it) harness with him and we installed it over a weekend. While he was at it, he adjusted my valves and the car fired up the very first time! Unbelievable, and -- of course -- with Don you happen to drink a few bottles of wine in between.
Good job Peter! We will be comparing tunes soon enough! And it will be nice to introduce Bernadette to Blue Belle. I need to talk with Ohmes and organize a trip out your way or get you out here... We had too much fun at the last two Monterey events but we didn't have your car with us...
