Re: 1976 MG Midget meets 1994 Taurus/Yamaha SHO

There is what looks like a crank sensor. I don't have that motor apart in that area just yet. It's still really cold in the shed, so I find ways to procrastinate. There are also secondary valves in the intake that should open like the secondaries of a carburetor, or at high rpm, I can't say for sure...

Re: 1976 MG Midget meets 1994 Taurus/Yamaha SHO

Not even necessary. I took the cap off and saw just how simple it is. 2 cycles per revolution. 50% duty cycle. Yup, 1 half closed, 1 half open. Makes it kind of easy. Now this engine also has secondary valves for the long runners that open with electrically modulated vacuum servos. This engine also ...

Re: 1976 MG Midget meets 1994 Taurus/Yamaha SHO

The Beetle is actually a 2017 Pinkbeetle Convertible. There are only 480 left drive cars. Other than the rarity of it, there's not much to really like about it :P The yamaha motor is getting the FreeEms for sure, and that's whats going to be transplanted into something first, and it's looking like i...

Re: 1976 MG Midget meets 1994 Taurus/Yamaha SHO

We also have an MGB, another MG Midget, Pinto, Mustang, Dakota, Beetle and Cherokee :P Almost all of them run! I was doing some measurements yesterday and now I'm wondering of that 450lb, 27" tall Yamaha motor is right for that little Midget. The hood is so nice I kinda don't want to have to bu...

Re: 1976 MG Midget meets 1994 Taurus/Yamaha SHO

Yeah It's a hall effect, looks like it's very similar to the Volvo one you've dealt with. This may be plug and play. I have a book coming "How to tune and modify Ford Fuel injection". I couldn't resist. It seems like it has all the sensor data I need, and they pretty much cover the Yamaha ...

Re: 1976 MG Midget meets 1994 Taurus/Yamaha SHO

Thank you, Fred. I got the motor and transmission home, despite the 10" of snow we got today, and pulling the motor into the shed on a sled. I got it all cleaned up and 'debrided'. I read some about the 'Jaguar' board, and I'll get one, unless I find something better, and with what I've found, ...

1976 MG Midget meets 1994 Taurus/Yamaha SHO

Ok let the story begin. Doing my own EFI system has always been a desire of mine. I have been following DIYEFI for years (probably some 10 years). Also I have always been a hobbiest programmer. Lately I have been getting into embedded systems and have even enrolled in a course. Most of my experience...
