its a reprogramable ignition and fuel ecu, never see one on a mini, cant see why it cant go on a carb mini provided its fitted with the right sensors/coil/throtal body(s) and injectors, it might be able to go on an spi and use a lot of the exsisting injection parts, mpi know idea.

has anyone see it on a mini

i'm sure they had some issues running Mega Squirt on minis due to fueling via the Siamese ports, have a look on the MS forum you might find some more info on it

i am running megasquirt since years with the A-Series.
you can make it work with nearly all throttle body injection parts without major trouble. the easiest is to use Rover SPi parts as they allready fit the engine. building a MPi system like the late Rover system is much more complicated due to fueling issues

[rozzer1275]

can anyone clarify, i heard once rover done some trick programing something with the injector pulse or timing, to stop the fuel robbing on the mpi is it true anyone know what it is?

love the vems what system is that late rover? are you rewriting the rom chip? what software?

[KLAS]

late Rover = MPi
and yes Rover did some tricks to make a port injection (=MPi) running well

what parts would i need from the rover SPi??
with an SPi engine do you have to change the carb, because im looking to do a 998cc turbo conversion
where i need the carb and manifold from a metro turbo for it to work. could i change this to SPi or am
i barking up the wrong tree??

cheers!

i use the complete SPi inlet manifold and throttle body set up, and a SPi fuel tank with my 998ccm SPi engine. some pics can be found here http://www.flickr.co...otos/mini_klas/
and i have seen some builds where the turbo is blowing into the SPi throttle body, so i think it is possible

I use megasquirt on my mini (not A series no more..)

It works like a charm. (And started on the first try )

nah ive been looking on turbominis for a while and the megasquirt opition seems very complicated
im going to stick with megajolt for now

but thanks everyone for the advice
