Also if you are thinking of using port injection, then have a read of this as well:

I suggest you read through the EFi section of this forum. There is a lot of useful information.

If you want some basic info on fuel injection, then the Megasquirt manuals explain the basics, otherwise, Dave Walkers book is good, although not the latest info on 5 port injection.

If you want to build a MS yourself, then probably getting a kit from DIYAutotune in the US is a good option.

If you want a built unit then possibly use Phil Ringwood at ExtraEFI.co.uk.

Just read the forum mate. Lots and lots of useful info. Especially the EFI section. I read through the entire section over a 1 week period, and it helped a lot. I'd keep a list of things you're specifically having trouble with and use the search button. If still not found, try asking...

The problem with correctly fuel injecting the 5port is very few people inderstand it fully. i admit im not one of them but those who do undersrand have made their research public on this forum in great detail and it is easy to find because it all on one place

Yes i moved to the darkside

Have been looking in efi section but got to the point know where I need a ms on car to play and learn with so now is the time I need to know what DIY kit and extras and where from you found beat deal

I live in the U.S., so DIYautotune.com is the best deal for me. I'm not sure what the shipping is to the U.K(if that's where your at)

I'd recomend DIYautotune too, good service.

We buy all our kits from DIYAutotune.

You need to decide on your horsepower target and whether you want to use port injection or wet manifold. Then we can advise on what you need.

There was a build guide planned, but that seems to have died due to the general apathy towards Efi.

Apathy? Damn. I was really looking forward to that build guide. I really want to port inject my 850, and it would have been a huge help! I guess I'll just have to use the forums instead.

Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ???

The 'apathy' is more towards Paul's poor attitude of late rather than siamese port injection.

Hi I need it to run a spi st3 head 286 cam ( custom manifold and twin injector throttle body ready to fit) then a blow through supercharger (in the middle of building) with port injection

From what I can see I need a ms2 /extra kit from DIYautotune or a ms2 kit with one of jean boards added ?

You will only need the quad driver board if you plan to exceed approx. 120hp. Then you may need staged injection and more than two injectors. Depends on how you wish to control the injectors.

PM me your email address. I'll send you some more info.
