Ok, I bit.... Donated, looking forward to playing with this thing

Well here is my 2 cents worth.

I clicked on this http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...able-6914.html

And made a donation and got a email later that same day from Amy that it was being shipped...

Also for more info check: MPGuino - EcoModder

It uses the cars VSS for speed and the pulse wirth of the injector for fuel used...should be totally free from any fooling of the cars system.

Got mine a long time ago, but still not fitted it as not 100% sure where to get the injector signal from and don't have time right now :/ It's not quite that easy for my car as the injectors are just glorified metal tubes - the actual metering is done internally in the fuel pump itself where the injector computer is also located. My only chance to get the MPGuino working is to find a wire carrying a pulsed signal from the main engine computer to the injector computer. However, I believe my chances of finding this wire is fairly slim.

What make and model car are you talking about??

I know chevy came up with something that sounds like what you talking about, a center one or two injectors with feed tubes to send the fuel to the cylinders, a crappy system... but it worked..like on the V6 in a S 10 pickup.

Should be able to get to the center injector and hook up.

'01 Vauxhall Astra with the Isuzu 1.7 litre Circle L engine. It uses the older direct injection system rather than the newer common rail injection system. It apparently uses the Denso V5 fuel pump.

What you mean by "imports"?

But thanks!

[racprops]

Sorry I always get a kick out who's/what is a import...

I am in Phoenix AZ. USA and to us/me a Vauxhall with a Iszuz motor is a car made somewere other than the USA (even if they do have a factory here...) and thus is called and considered a " Import..."

I did get a kick out of it too when you called my car an "import" as the factory that built my car is only a hour and a bit away in the same country as where I live Hell, my good friend lives a scant 10 mins drive from the factory so I go past it every time I visit him. However, the engine is Polish built, which is a fair bit of distance away from here...

But to top it all, Vauxhall is actually GM under a different name, so it's slightly more closer to home than you think!

[racprops]

I know all that.... but it is still a Import here and thus parts are harder to find.

Cost more too.
