Thread: 57 Chevy Cruizer

Tweet

Dave please accept my apologies for the off topic posts on your thread.

Ran across this fella and some of his videos, 9-29-12 what is megasquirt quick overview - YouTube , he and his friends make some crazy horsepower with efi and turbos.

This video was his attempt to explain one of the pieces he uses and it looks alot easier than I first imagined. Still not ready to make the plunge myself.. but, it could be sooner than later!

Mike,
A friend of mine uses the Megasquirt controllers (Link - MegaSquirt - Electronic Fuel Injection Computer by Bowling and Grippo ©2010 ) exclusively on his cars and he thinks they're great! I wasn't brave enough to jump into one, because their web site tells you straight out that it's a complex controller with tons of options. Now that I've got a (very) basic understanding of the maps and corrections I think it might be fun to build one from scratch. I think I'll do some reading on their FAQ and Instruction Manual on one of the cold winter days that are coming.

Roger, the thing about that kid is he makes it so simple! He actually has a LS Chevy in a late 70's Fairmont and with the turbo it's in the 700 horsepower range!
He isn't very "particular" about the quality of his work but his "stuff" flat out hauls!!
I'm also thinking 'bout building one from scratch.... just because...

I saw a bunch of those Fairmont videos from that guy; that's what made me go out and buy a 5.3 for my project. I cant believe how well that stock truck engine has held together. The bowtie guys should be pretty darn proud of that engine.

Dang! I've missed the last 8 pages on this thread! I used to get a notice whenever anyone posted a reply here (and on other threads I had posted on), but I don't get those any more. Did the site quit doing that or is something wrong on my end? Help!!

Didn't miss much on the '57 Jim, at least nothing earth shattering. It's still sitting on the chassis table awaiting it's turn!!!!

Jim check your user settings, might not get immediate response to subscribed threads, if the box was unchecked.

Got anything new here Dave??

Haven't done a thing to it Charlie, too many other things going on right now!

Understandable Dave. I'm there too. Looking forward to watching this one continue when you get the time.

I did mess around with the hood a bit and started on a cowl induction scoop;

You going to have hood open from back?

Hood will be hinged in the front, entire front end will be hinged, too so that I can just open the hood or tilt the whole front end.

That should be coooool, you going to cut the rear of the fenders for clearance? I've seen it done that way or they prop open the fenders at the bottom to open
