Last thing to fabricate is the drain return fitting back to the crankcase. I'm hoping to fire it up this weekend with the turbo.
I am unsure how to configure the Ecotrons EFI. Typically a NA engine uses the MAP sensor output to determine fuel requirement at lesser revs and load, and switches to TPS sensor at large throttle settings and revs. With a turbo though I don't think that will be satisfactory as the intake pressure will vary greatly without moving the throttle as the turbo spools up. Presuming of course that it works at all. I've asked Ecotrons for some guidance. To date with the engine being NA I've had it using the VE table below 98% throttle which seemed to work OK.
The MAP sensor fluctuations are also used to determine which cylinder is on which stroke. This saves having a cam angle sensor. I have a bit of concern for the sensor response time and how it will work at the higher revs. I have a sneaking suspicion it's going to be a problem.
I've just downloaded the latest version of their tuning software - ProCal. They have finally got it so changes you make to the screen gauges, range and divisions etc, are saved. Was a real pain having to reset them every time.
