Been lookin into this as it seems quite cheap but now this Megasquirt stuff is confusing anyone got a website/link which simply tells me what i need to build it i so far have worked out i would need Universal MegaSquirt Harness Kit, MegaSquirt v2.2/3.0, possibly the MS-II Upgrade or MSnS (is this pretty much the same thing btw just as i understand the MS-II is faster and newer but MSnS has more features) why would this be needed and what is the Flyback Board, i want to learn about this (i aint really got a clue about it tbh but hey you gotta learn some how!) or what are the off the shelf management stuff like?

yep . done a 16v 2litre on TB's allready : http://www.16vmini.co.uk
used a megasquirt , whole lot cost under 300 quid for ECU , tb's , etc ... it all worked fine if you want a cheap way to get more power and ITB's ... but if you are after ultimate power then buying correct ITB's would make sense ..

but then thats spending money for moneys sake ! lol

Here's a few pictures of an XE on bike carbs if it's of any interest to anyone:

Just don't look at what the car is too hard. It may distress you!

Funnily enough, the owner said the Frod boys hate him for using a Vauxhall engine, and the Vauxhall boys hate him for putting a GM engine in a Crapi! Talk about how to make everyone hate you.

The carbs are R1 ones (a 1000 cc Yamaha just a bit quicker than your car, for all you non-bikers).

16vmini, have you actually got your engine running yet? If so, on what TBs and how do you find the delivery around town?
it ran fine , once the ECU was mapped / setup ...

used GSXR 1100 TB's , got them from the states , ecbay.com ;)

used to drive it all the time.
