Buy MegaSquirt II fully assembled about $400 USD or $500 AUD off eBay.

Manifold and Injector

Rather than fabricate a custom manifold, use the stock one that's already on your A12! The photo here show the intake unbolted from the exhaust, but you can do it while it's still together.

Throttle Body

The X3 Excel Throttle Body is dime-a-dozen and easy to adapt. The 1995-1999 Hyundai Excel X3 (Accent in USA) SOHC engine is the source. Don't forget to get the wiring harness connectors and a couple of inches of wiring for the Throttle Body.

Fuel Pressure Regulator

Fuel Pressure regulator from a 1997-2001 Misubishi Lancer 1.5 engine, $15 used

Sensors

With MegaSquirt you won't need the Datsun airflow meter. Instead, Megasquirt will calculate the air mass using a MAP sensor and and IAT sensor.

  • MAP sensor is built into Megasquirt. Connect vacuum hose to manifold
  • Obtain GM IAT sensor from a Chevrolet or Holden. Drill hole in your air cleaner-to-throttle body pipe, and hot-glue the IAT in place. Or use JB-weld. Threaded bungs are available if you want to get really fancy.

Fuel System

Use a 280ZX fuel pump, connected to the stock fuel line coming from the tank.

* 280ZX Fuel Pump $45 RockAuto.com

Run a regular fuel line back to the the tank, and Tee it in to the filler hose. If you keep the tank above 1/4 full no baffles or surge tank are needed.

From the fuel pump output to the fuel rail, use EFI-rated fuel hose and EFI hose clamps. Use a 280ZX-style fuel filter.

Nissan EFI fuel pump with damper can be mounted in rear of car or in engine compartment

Wiring

Wire up the MegaSquirt harness

  • 12V
  • earth/ground
  • fuel pump relay
  • injectors
  • IAT signal & ground/earth
  • Air Regulator
  • EFI Water Temp
  • Tach signal (coil negative terminal)

For full details, see http://www.megamanual.com/mtabcon.htm#wire

ECU Configuration

Download at http://www.diyautotune.com/softwarelinks.htm

  • Mac
  • Windows
  • Linux

You have a choice:

  • TunerStudio free version (most popular software for MegaSquirt)
    Free version supports all MegaSquirt features
  • SuperTunix open source

In the software configure

Software Tuning

Start your engine and let idle. Go to http://www.megamanual.com/v22manual/mtune.htm

And start tuning.

A big help in turning is to fit an Air Fuel Ratio Gauge. MegaSquirt 2 can directly read the wideband output of the wideband controller, but more importantly you can see the A/F Ratio on the gauge.

 See Main Article: Oxygen_Sensor#Air_Fuel_Ratio_Gauge

The paid version of TunerStudio has a software auto-tuner which is supposed to be great, but it still requires some work (it's not totally automatic).
