You're right.
I was thinking about this last night and realized.. How am I going to tune it ? There's no computer programs or tuneable ECU's for it lol. That I know of anyways.

edit/add: unless it self-tunes.

 

[PredatorPowaaa!!]

That would be awesome if it self tunes. Have you ever watched carsandcameras? If not, watch their "turbo drift trike" video

Microsquirt is a good option for a small boost aware EFI system.

Microsquirt is a good option for a small boost aware EFI system.

$330 for the ECU+8' harness
$270 for the module.

I'm guessing it gets tuned with MegaSquirt software and a laptop.

very pricey.
I definitely will not be going through with all of this. Still an interesting piece of knowledge though.

If the engine, microsquirt hardware, and all the forged goodies were just laying there for me to use Then I would do it.

But you sold you Kart to "Speedy 212" what are you gonna put this on?

The software is free. Msefi.com will answer any questions you might have about it. It will work with a single motorcycle throttle body and fuel injector if you want it to. I believe it can even control the timing. All you'd need is the microsquirt, and a short harness and the individual components to make it work on a go kart. DIYautotune.com is where I got all of my megasquirt stuff.
As long as you keep it dry, a megasquirt 1 would handle all your fuel injection needs on a go kart and be much cheaper.
