Yes.

Did my Triumph Vitesse 2.0 in 2005
Very out of date website shows the fabrication of manifold and fuel system
www.shadetreegarage.co.uk/Megasquirt1.htm
It runs EDIS-6 base distributorless ignition now.

Has been a really great conversion - must have done 40k miles with it at least - been all over Europe with it several times

Also my Triumph 2.5PI

Was a fairly unusual thing to do in 2005 but there are loads out there now.

Yes, i run Megasquirt using a Microsquirt on my Tiger Hillclimb car as per the photo to the left of this. Also i used an MS1 on my 4.6V8 Tomcat racer.

The system is very well supported and if you read and understand what an engine needs before starting then you won't go far wrong.

here is my car build thread that might help: retrorides.proboards.com/thread/179695/avenger-tiger-hillclimb-sprint-car

I've also converted my Vitesse to EFI using Megasquirt.







Don't ask me how it works though, it just somehow does! lol
