I have a set of LSA injectors (64 lbs I think) laying around because I went up to ID850's. The only thing is the spray pattern is a bit different for boost and the wing cast into the LSA heads. Let me know if you're interested in using them, I'm sure we can work something out. I also have a stock and ported LSA blower and one of them is a spare but I can't decide which right now because I haven't purchased the 102mm throttle body I need for the ported blower yet.
Hi Glenn,
I didn't read back all the way but I was wondering if you saw these and if you planning on running closed loop?

George, I convinced myself not to polish my manifold and keep the black in order to reduce my launch schedule. Don't encourage me to do more work.
I was unaware of that. I misread their website then. In any case, even though I looked into it, I never really planned to use the stock ECU. I was always leaning 90% towards aftermarket.
I am interested if they have the USCAR connector. What fuel pressure are they rated 64lbs and are they a true 64lb injector or a redrilled/reworked lower injector? I'm not really concerned about the spray pattern as I don't believe it makes too much of a difference, as the injectors can't keep up to the firing of the cylinders anyway. Probably makes a difference in the LT1/4 that are direct injected and run close to 3000lb fuel pressure.
Never saw those, but they wouldn't work for my application because I am adapting my 496HO risers to the MP exhaust manifolds, so I have to go from a rectangular manifold collector to a circular riser. I have 1" aluminum plate that I fabbing to fit. I was going to install the O2 sensors in the plate, but have since decided to weld the bung in the end of the riser......although this may change

Wetcoast, PM'd you my number.

Taz, I've never used the Rhinda, but I also never saw anything negative about it during my searches.
Used ones come up for sale occasionally on OSO, but tend to go fast.

Glen, I didn't mean polish the manifolds, but, knock down the high spots, prime and paint.

Somewhere George had mentioned how Aluminum and Brass aren't good together.
Here's a pic to support that.
Both these items were brand new and there is only 3hrs (absolute MAX) on the parts. All my other aluminum only or brass only parts still look new.
The corrosion wouldn't be much if these parts were years old, but it is surprising that this much corrosion could show up in less than 3hrs. It is very clearly starting to corrode on the threads and the inside of the brass nipple. (The tan colored stuff at the base of the aluminum threads is just excess pipe paste).

Just an added note to the ECU talk. I had wanted to use the MSPro (megasquirt) because it's assembled and I feel it's a comparable unit to Holley, AEM, etc, but a more economical price. I didn't go that route, because it doesn't have any more analog inputs than the MS3, so (for me) it didn't warrant the extra cost. It actually has less A/I, because the MS3 has a couple "unadvertised" inputs that can be created.
Figures, that now they have come out with the MSPro EVO. $50 more than the Pro and 4 extra inputs. That would have given me the 2 extra inputs that I had to "create" with the MS3, plus 2 more, which would be perfect for my 2 EGT's.
Every single ECU that I looked at, from every manufacturer was a compromise on what I wanted (unless I wanted to spend $2500 +). The MS3 had the least amount of compromise, and as a bonus, it was the cheapest.
I would have snapped up the EVO if this had come out a couple months ago. Damn!

Not too much to report on over the last few weeks. A bunch of small things that eat a lot a time and make you feel like you aren't getting anywhere.
Struggling to find something to post. Below is about all I have.
I'm moving my sea strainer from the starboard to port side, so I had to flip the transom water inlet fitting 180 degrees. It didn't land in the correct position, so I made this little adapter, to clock it a few extra degrees.

Spent quite a bit of time making the wiring harness. Didn't want to use the corrugated plastic sheathing that I used before. I wanted something that looked a bit more professional, so I used different sizes of expandable woven and fabric split sheathing. I'm happy with how it turned out. I still have to add the 80 pin ECU connector. That'll be a several hour job for later.

I've been dreading making the adaptors to fit my risers to the exhaust manifolds. A ton of grinding involved. Have one 80% done. Several hours, but wasn't as bad as I anticipated. Need to smooth it out some with a flapper wheel and finish the outside edges.

Going out of town for a week, so won't be getting any work done. I'm hoping to have all the work done and engine in by the end of June. The BIG question mark, is how long is it going to take to get it running properly with the Megasquirt. Have my fingers crossed that it'll go relatively smoothly. Going to be a big learning curve for sure, though.
