I am gonna pulse width modulate this and control idle speed with my computer box. This is the reasoning behind the modifications to the motorcycle throttle bodies.
Made a simple manifold for it.
Now that I have what all I think I need....
Where do I put it?
Though of out on one of the manifolds.
Ugly but simple and functional.
Just don't have much space and already have to hide a computer and big fuel pump.
I love your definition of "simple" for the manifold. As for the megasquirt, after you work out all your mappings, etc. you can always go to the microsquirt version. It's smaller, sealed, and designed for motorcycle applications. An assembled and tested, though used megasquirt should have some value on ebay or CL.
I still call it simple, in comparison to other things I do.
But anyway...
Yeah I would like to have a micro.
A buddy had the 2.2 board and the Motorola chip laying around from an unassembled kit that was give to him unassembled. All the small parts were missing but it was a freebie. I bought all the parts for the board from digikey key for under 20 bucks.
It is my first non bought controller. It seems to work even with the mods. So at a 20 dollar expense I am gonna give it a try.
Not to digress from a great build discussion but your question about Earl brings up the story of how I got the engine for my trike. A couple of years ago I was at the Eureka Springs VW show and the Tulsa VW club was raffling off a complete 1600 engine with about $2,000 worth of shiny billet and chrome accessories on top of a fresh engine. The proceeds of the raffle went to the Shriner's hospital in Tulsa.
The tickets were 1@$2, 3@$5, and 6@$10. I went over and told the lady selling the tickets to give me $5 worth. She took my money and gave me 6 tickets. Well ....... the two little guys jumped up on my shoulders saying "Wow, you got a freebie! Keep the tickets!" and "This isn't right. The raffle is for charity." I actually thought about Earl and Karma and tore the tickets in half and returned 3.
Later that night I got a call. I had won the engine!
