[urq] urg computer question

[Ken Keith]

Hi Brandon,

Yeah, and with the ignition control and such I think it's a better
setup.  For this project tho', it's based on price and that I already
had the MS kit and it's the same guy who's chipping my ecu.  It's
costing me far less than 034 would and this particular project is low
on the overall priority list altho' it should be getting started soon.

Where I'm putting the "budget", very slowly, is into a stroker 3B with
tube header and "front-tb" intake for a 4kq.  That motor will probably
end up running a non-Megasquirt standalone engine management unless I
can get Mihnea to custom tune the Motronic for its final
configuration.  Actually since I want to use a Eurovan block and 7A
head, the 4kq might come up with the stockish 3B while the stroker is
built.  The longblock would be something like this one:

I still have to get Racetronix 37lb/hr injectors for my 200q20v for
the RS2 turbo/EM/metal head gasket that I have to put on.  The efi'ed
10vt Coupe GT is something I'm somewhat trying to throw together to
free up my engine stand and use up the parts I acquired for the 4ktq
project as opportunities were presented and the goal shifted.

It's either put the 10vt efi parts to use or put my urq cis parts into
the Coupe GT, and I figure it should be easier to do it efi.  If I had
two grand to throw at the engine management for this project, I might
choose 034 for it.  I'm still saving up aluminum cans for the Garrett
GT30R or GT35R! (btw, any opinions between the two for a 2.5 liter?) 
=)

Cheers,

Ken
