and as always the more details, pictures and information posted relating to the pictures and the processes and changes being made the better!
 
Hi
The transmission is in the car, coolerlines and crossmember was tight fit

I used hydraulic fittings in cooler lines so lines cleared transtunnel
Next i solder wiring harness and cut 4" aluminum driveshaft to right leight
Megashift trans controller does not need sensors it communicates with ecu via can bus channel but programming can be challenge

I shortened the driveshaft

Next, i will paint the exhaust and then the car is ready for A test drive

Don't think that I would have ground that much weld off. Torque will tell you if it holds.
 
Hi
I sandplasted and painted the exhaust but then it started to snowing ,so i decided to do gear and rear diskbrake swap

I finally got to test drive and everything worked realy well
Shifts was firm , torque converter lock up worked
Flash stall was 3800rpm
This project was a SUCCESS!!!!
 
Looks like you have skills way beyond the average car enthusiast. Congratulations on a job well done !!!
 
thats AN UNDERSTATEMENT!

BTW CONGRATS!

if your cars got an automatic transmission and a higher stall speed converter its a damn good idea to install an auxiliary trans fluid cooler with an electric fan,
OK FIRST LOOK UP THE TRANSMISSIONS FLUID CAPACITY
HERES A LINK

http://fluidcapacity.com/
http://www.cartechbooks.com/techtips/autotransfluid

keep in mind most performance cars with an auto transmission and a higher rpm stall converter, will need an auxiliary trans fluid cooler, Id strongly suggest you find one with an electric fan and 1/2" or AN#8 line size as you'll want to allow a minimum of 2 gallons a minute trans fluid flow rate

its CRITICAL to keep the trans fluid clean and ideally changed about every 70K miles and use of a auxiliary cooler that keeps the fluid temp under about 170F is going to extend service life a good deal longer
Ive helped do at least 7 of these big block engine swaps now for other people and obviously results vary with the components being used but most of the swaps required a trans cooler and Ive installed 2 now in the rear tire carrier area, 200f -230f temps on trans fluid are very common on stock transmissions, with stock original engines when your beating the hell out of the trans racing, but 190f-210f on the street while cruising is more common using the stock radiator trans cooler in the lower radiator trans fluid cooler.
I had a larger than original capacity aluminum aftermarket radiator most of the time , in my corvette even with the current 383 sbc, and if I ran a 180f T-stat both the coolant and trans fluid tended to run about 190f UNTIL I swapped to a 3200 stall converter , where the temps jumped noticeably by about 20f higher, if I pushed the car ,but those temps dropped rapidly if I was just cruising in O.D. but I felt I needed a better system, to cool the trans fluid, adding the additional rear mount aux cooler drops temps to 150f-160f with the fan on and about 170f=180f with it off even if Im pushing the car so I wired a switch to the fan, and a sensor that turns the fan on at 175F

internal cross sectional area of the fluid transfer lines matters, anything less than 1/2" or AN#8 can be restrictive to flow

THAnKS indy and grumpy!!!

this was a difficult project but I'm looking for a lot of information before I started
Many thanks to all those people who have developed Megasquirt

have four small children and my wife makes a two-shift work, I have to do all hobby work at night it is tiring, but when the project is successful it rewards

Just ask guestions If you want to know more about the project,i tend to write brief because i do not write English wery well
 
How big is the Megasquirt physically? I don't have much room in the TBucket, so that's
why I'm asking. Is there more than one piece to the system other than sensors?

How complicated was it to setup? I know that's a pretty broad question.
 
Thanks mathd
Megasquirt dimensions are 16x10x4cm and microsquirt is way smaller

EFI Controllers by Bowling and Grippo is not designed to be a 'no hassle' solution to user's EFI needs. Instead it is intended to be an educational process. As a result, a large amount of reading and study is required. If you are new to the MegaSquirt® community, you may find there is a lot of new information to digest, and much of it will seem confusing, or even contradictory. Your best bet is to read and re-read the FAQ and the manual thoroughly.
