The MegaSquirt Project has experienced explosive growth other the years, with hundreds of new MS installations occurring every week - a phenomenal success! MegaSquirt has been successfully used in all aspects of Internal Combustion engine applications including R&D, Industry, Race, and Research. The MS project has transformed itself from a simple R&D project into a full-featured mature engine control system. To reflect this the support structure has also changed to meet the needs of MegaSquirt Users.
Moving forward, the R&D forums for MegaSquirt project are in a read-only mode - no new forum posts are accepted.
However the forums will remain available for view, they still contain a wealth of information on how MegaSquirt works, how it is installed and used. Feel free to search the forums for information, facts, and overview.While the R&D forum traffic has slowed in recent years, this is not at all a reflection of Megasquirt users, which continue to grow year after year. What has changed is that the method of MegaSquirt support today has rapidly moved to Facebook, this is where the vast majority of interaction is happening now. For those not on Facebook the msextra forums is another place for product support. Finally, for product selection assistance, all of the MegaSquirt vendors are there to help you select a system, along with all of the required pieces to make it complete.
My success story starts with using my stock CV carbs and making injector adapters for them. I Did not modify or hurt them in anyway way so they can go back stock. I can do this for just about any CV carb. Now they are throttle bodies. I Didn't have to adapt some other throttle body or make manifolds or any of that extra work which could be a pain for most people. I have a machine shop and I didn't want to do it. I used 19 lb. Ford port injectors, Megasquirt 1 with 3.0 board. GM sensors with a heated O2 sensor. 90lb. fuel pump with a pressure regulator. Since I couldn't ride down the street with a laptop in my lap I bought a Megaview readout. I split the readout and the main board and mounted the readout and the push buttons in a nice box and mounted it to the handle bars. Makes life a lot easier. All I can say is that my Vmax has never run so nice. Clean acceleration, easy starting. I am jazzed. I have not raced it or gone crazy with it yet. Still playing with it. I had a blast doing it. Great project. Remeber 1 thing, read all the directions for building and tuning before you build and tune!!!!! There is a lot of decisions you have to make as you build the board. Good luck

Could you please elaborate on where the injector adapters fit into the CV carbs? Do you still run the slide? Thanks!
