You will be pleased with the results after you sort out any bugs, its almost guaranteed because EFI makes a huge difference.
Mapping shouldnt take too long with Lambda probe and/or dyno. Tuning for max torque and power is easy. Usually the most time is spent getting all the fine tuning right so you engine performes well under all conditions and all throttle positions and all loads.
You might find that your throttle body is too small if you are running a big HP high compression A series. Other than that it all looks good.
Good luck with it, you will be pleased once its all sorted.

This motor was in a race off roader and has been all turned and once I learnt how it to get it started right, it runs sweet as. I am running a bigger TB off what I dont know but its BIG!!! I hope to go for a test drive on sunday.

What it runs without the dizzy installed

The dizzy sitting on the front guard is out of the old A12 I had in there and was just keeping it close in case I need it.

Nah that pic is perfect. I was going to just tap my head to take a temp sensor for my computer. But what caught my eye was that big bolt in the middle. I thought it was a radiator cap. I have a late model toyota hiace radiator I am going to put in the 1200 wagon but I need to put a cap somewhere and that pic got me thinking.

I got you thinking now theres a turn up for the books!!!!!

Alert the Media

I love it! I've been looking at the megasquirt myself. Its nice to here some people have already adapted in for dato. even if L-series.

Hey who_your_datty_1200, whats the manifold off?
Is this some japanese import factory efi system from a late a14/15 or e15 etc?? Are they available in australia? I didn't even know there was something commercially available.

The manifold, I think was imported here(NZ) and there are not many A series EFI manifold around. There are 3(?) in aussie rite??? and mine one in NZ, plus some in Japan. Other than that I dont know of anyothers, but I could be wrong

nice work, i had no idea it was so close to completion,

i think theres more than 3 in aus and one or maybe none in japan that the guys on the site know of

morale of the story, super rare

interested to see how it goes,

phunk: my a15 head had an allen bolt in the side of the head (manifold side) which i just removed and replaced with a plug that i tapped my sensor into the back of, made it quite simple, your head dosent have this hole?

You got a picture of this???

There's plenty of them over here, just no one uses them. I've seen a couple for sale, and have bought one for a U.S. site member. The next one I find I'm going to pick up for a rainy day.

Nah 1200RC my head doesnt have that mounting position. From memory the position you are talking about is in the top left corner of the head ( manifold side ) but it looks like some didnt have this in the casting.

***Edit*** I just had a look at one of your pics and yours is in the bottom left. That is where I will no doubt tap it for the sensor. But if you look at my pic it is still rough cast in that position.

Well Monty is up and going now. Must say heaps more grunt and much more fun to drive and the sound!!!! Magic to my ears!!

NICE work buddy

Now I have a air filter!!!

Most interesting.

hows it going????

see that flat face on the side of the head just left of the exhaust manifold there, thats where the screw plug is on my head that i fit my water sensor into

Micheal....... Yeah I see the place you mean. I will look at doing that, as I am not happy with that thermostat housing, that is on there at the moment.

David.......... What is most interesting??

It's most interesting that everyone is getting their factory EFI going, except me. I'm still determined to use factory control unit and wiring and that is slowing me down.

Your work here looks good.

Thermostat housing...............I dont know what its off, but it has a temp sensor in there for cold starting and so the ECU knows what temp the motor at.

I'll down load some more pictures of the housing and link them in this thread.

Cool

I think its the factory efi thermostat housing as I believe it's the engine that came with his efi Manifold
