I know my electronics are "inferior" to a FMU, but spending a grand on a FMU may take a while to recoup costs.
I dont see why there would be any problems using this as
1- i can monitor operation through wideband AF and EGT
2- i can program a 2-d fuel map across the RPM range without having to laptop program on a dyno
3- Im not making significant AF changes. Slightly leaning but keeping AF less than 18
(Yes that sounds lean, but stoic combustion for LPG is 15.8:1)
Anyone know how the knock sensor modulates. I was thinking as a safety measure, i could somehow monitor this.
Or is the stock knock sensor not sensitive enough?
I would like to, but i cant take credit for installing it because i didn't.fowljesse wrote:I would seriously like to see a worklog for your car.
In australia to be eligible for the $2000 LPG rebate you must have it installed by an accredited installer.
feel free to ask any questions about it.
The engine runs much smoother on LPG
Maybe ill post some pics of the install some time but thats on another thread

That would be nice to have a fuel map for each. ATM my fuel map is optimized for lpg because its only 60cents/Litre and petrol is $1.35/Litrefowljesse wrote:With MegaSquirt, you can have 2 different fuel and spark maps
I agree and have put much thought into it but am waiting for LiPo4 batteries and ultra-caps to come down in price.Newfie_dan wrote:ts just as well to do an electrical conversion and make the car an electric vehicle making it some 80% effecient.
Imagine how much fun a torquey mx3 would be
