Hi there!
My name is John and I'm also a Perth guy. I've been dabbling with EFI off and on over the years and have done a carburettor to EFI and multi-coil conversion on a Charade turbo many years ago... (using Wolf3D) and recently built my first rotary engine managed by an Adaptronic Modular ECU. I've always been a tinkerer and have a pretty sound understanding of EFI on a practical level... but not so much on a hardware level.My curiosity has led me down the speeduino path and I built one from a kit but never put it to use... (actually gave it to a friend for his MX5)
Unfortunately I had to move the rotary on (ridiculously impractical) but have since bought myself an EK civic and I'm currently in the middle of swapping from D16 (non-vtec) to a B16A2. I like to do as much of the work as possible and I thought the icing on the cake to this project would be to try a DIY ECU. From what I gather the distributor uses an optical pickup for engine position but instead of using coil on plug, it retains the distributor for spark distribution. (I think there is a sync signal available so like to move to coil on plug)
Just wondering if you could explain to me what your latest build is (that would suit my application) and how your offering differs from speeduino. I'm keen to know and understand what it is I need to purchase from you to get a running engine...
Thanks heaps for your time!
John
