Hi Guys. Just Finished building up my 4.6 engine to put in the classic, new water pump, oil pump etc. Going to get the rad tested next week but was replaced in 2003, I am planning on meqasquirting soon but i am wondering should i fit and run in the cam on the old 3.9 set up first? I had a missfire on the old engine and think the ignition system has some issues. Its a J reg non cat without lambda sensors so will the ecu fault codes tell me anything or is this system too basic. My mate can read the codes if needed. Also ready to start getting ecu, Edis 8, Lambda sensors etc. So alternatively could fit the engine, battle on with squirting and then run it in on the new system. All p*ss taking or advice welcome. Anyone around Birmingham Solihull on this forum used MS and Edis (Might need help when it all goes pear shaped)

Alright Nige, How much are we talking for an eprom chip? I mean that will sort the fueling but theres still the ignition to look at. I have had a few problems with ignition components over the years and would prefere a more reliable system. Add to that the ability to switch ignition with MS and re-map to suit any changes made in the future, wouldnt i be better off with MS and Edis anyway. Stu

Hi Landmannnn, The reason im using this 4.6 is because i know its good, also i would be happy to see the back of the ignition sytem that is on there. when i looked into having the 3.9 top hat linered and reconditioned it was going to cost a bit so i went for the 4.6 I spent a zillion hours chopping out rotten bits and replacing them last year before the repaint and now i just want the best out of it on petrol and gas, plus this seems a well proven avenue and recommeded by many on here. As for the 3.9 i have got left i will be keeping it for another project some day. All opinions and suggestions welcome

In my own little world

Hi Fridge, I will be dropping in my engine this month and next, getting new oil pump, water pump and getting the rad checked out etc. Ideally i would have the time to build up the kit myself but with running my small company, getting my Suzuki GS1000 ready for summer, Decorating (she makes me do it ) , Etc, Etc I will go for aready built ecu to keep the wheels moving so to speak. So i should be ready for ecu, loom and Edis about june ish. What price is your Edis-8 unit, MS-Ecu, Loom. I you want give me prices on a private email feel free. As i dont know anyone who has done this locally i just want to be sure before spending my hard earned dough. I will try to put some pictures of the old gal (The car not the missus )on at some point this week I may give Phil at Extra a ring this week as he sound ok, Now the clocks have gone back might get somewhere. Thank for the help Stu.

Hi guys, Starting to get my head round this megasquirt, Edis mod for my 4.6 Classic and i am still gathering information. Think i am going to go with this system as it seems fairly straight forward and the Edis apparently is easily compatable and reliable. In my quest i need to find a reilable supplier who will supply decent service and quality kits i seem impressed with extra efi for the ecu kits and triggerwheels.com for some of the brackets and Edis sensor Etc. Any reccomendations ? Who should i avoid like the plague? Also what are the options for wideband lambda sensor in your opinions.

At least your camera is still in one piece !!!!!!!

Thanks for the info Fridge, Will i have to change from the distributor as i already have the cam with dizzy drive fitted? Does this mean i cannot run the switchable ignition on this system. I am using all the ancillaries off the old 1992 3.9 engine and was planning to use the old cam chain cover and replace oil and water pump Can megasquirt still advance and retard the ignition as the ignition module from rpi does. I will aslo have to add the lamba sensor as mine currently runs without but that is not a problem. I am not overly concerned with performance I just want a comfortable reliable daily drive, once this is finished i will be putting the old 3.9 into something else. Feels like like this project is still a way off, last year i replaced most of the bodywork and repainted it, the year before was head gaskets and before that the lpg conversion, the joy of owning a range rover !!!!!!

Cheers coastguard, I will be looking into the full cost of the megasquirt system and reading up on it, Is this the best option for a mappable ecu and is it very difficult to set up ? I will keep you posted on the progress and may well have a few more questions before im done

Hi, I am about to put a 4.6 low compression engine in my classic range and will be using the existing ancillaries and hotwire ignition. I would be grateful for any advice regarding mods and checks etc, I am also running lpg (romano multi point) Will i need to change fuel regulator and chip ECU? What do you guys think of Rpi's A and R ignition module. Any help and advice would be appreciated Thanks Stu
