Hi Peeps, been on here a while, done a few posts in the past. I need some help with my ECU please (Microsquirt v2.2). The engine I am building for my car is a Ford 2.9 V6 12V, going to be running 2 T2 turbos. I need help with which of the following would be best for my needs
- Air intake sensor
- Coolant sensor
- Map sensor
- Throttle position sensor
I'm thinking of using an EDIS6 from the 24V Granada engine, is this the best option?
What injectors would be needed for 300bhp?

Thanks
Stuart

Coolant sensor - well, unless you really do not want the ECU to know what temp the engine is at, then i'd say that it would be quite useful.

Air intake sensor - the MAP and TPS pretty much make this redundant for your application I think. Someone may know better then me though, as I do not run a turbo or a V6.

Map sensor - again these are very useful. You will need a positive pressure type as your using turbo's.

Throttle position sensor - well, same again, unless the megasquirt can guess the throttle angle by some other means? Some ECU's do use the TPS to calculate the air flow instead of a MAP sensor, but they can also use it to help with other parts of the engines running.

Cannot see any problems with the EDIS 6, although will it produce a good enough spark for the boost you'll need for 300bhp?

On another note, do you think your able to build a 300bhp engine if your asking these sort of questions?

thanks for the reply.
the car is running both turbos on the old ford ecu witch are no good for tuning
asking if the ford ones will work with the mircosquirt ?

thanks for the help

You should be able to run the Ford sensors
