Megasquirt V8 - Optional Extras

High Pressure V8 Fuel Filter - ESR4065

I have bought in a number of these, and at a keen price - these are HP Fuel filters for all Rover V8s, except THOR (THORs run Higher Pressure @ 52 PSI).

These Filters have a raft of Part Numbers - ESR4065 (Being the most 'superceeded' to one), NTC6936, GFE7118, Valeo 587209, 71760842, 2330079045, BOSCH 450905911 and so on !

Bascially if you have now - Or are fitting from carbs etc a HP EFI Rover V8 (Except THORs) this is the baby - run these on my own 5.2 V8 - All's good !

Grab whilst you can as it was a bit of a one off purchase - won't be getting any more of these !

Megasquirt V8 Rev Counter Tacho Conversion board Screw Type

On Megasquirt, when you convert from the Lucas system and a traditional 'Coil' driven Rev / Tacho Counter, MS won't have the Rev Counter work without internal modifications ....

So, this little beauty - about 40mm x 30mm will allow you to run your rev counter without any modifications to the ECU !. Simply run 1 x wire from each of the A B C D coil feeds to the board - this is a 'Screw' type unit - ( see above for a 'Solder' type option ), then connect your rev counter to the Tower screw Hole saying 'Tacho Out'

All 5 of the connections are engraved on the board, once done either "pot" it up, or seal it up and job is done !.
Very limited launch stock, if these prove popular we will get them made in volume and have more stock. (NOT Supplied in Kits)

Serial Port on MS ECU to USB On PC a properly 100% guaranteed stable Adapter Cable

Over 10 Years I have tried, and heard of many sagas and stories of USB to Serial Adapter units that basically are either 'Super Flakey' - orr just plain do not work

Finally ...and after more unsuccessful trials than I care to think about - we have this !

Absolutely, 100% Guaranteed Stable & Simple - no CDs or Drivers to Download and then give you error messages
Buy this plug it in - open 'Tuner Studio' - and it just bloody works !

Ignition Lead Crimper

Making good 'Crimps' on the Ignition leads is essential.

Up to now its been either a choice of doing the best you can – or investing in a hugely expensive crimping tool.

These are Imported from the USA and are vastly superior to anything else we have found even at 4 x the price.
Simple to use, making superb professional 'Crimps', not cheap, but not expensive either - and will save you a large amount of time and grumbling.

Rover V8 'Pre Loved' Hard to find ERR319 Coolant pipe Unit

There are a rafty of versions available of Rover V8 'Top ends', with differing 'Inlets' & 'ports' etc between them.
There are 'V belt' 3.9s 4.0 4.6s 'GEMS' and various 'Serpentine' units - all will fit - but - plumbing up your cooling system can be a bit of a head scratcher.

These units (ERR319) are at best near impossible to get as no longer made, and if you can find one still in stock expect to pay circa £100+. !

We have a few of these which can help with plumbing up coolant system.
ALL of the ones we have are the type with a Verical tube with a plug in the top - these are the best as the tube is a 'bleed port'
allowing you to get excess air out of the cooling system, which is tricky to do without this unit, as it is when fitted 'Highest Point' in system.

In 'MS FAQ' Section is a picture of these units fittd and also a helpful diagram of a Rover V8 basic 'coolant routing'.
so with this and the diagrams its all just might just help you work out how best to do yours !

Rover V8 'Pre Loved' Hard to find ERR319 Coolant pipe Unit - 'Re-Plated' !!

This unit is exactly the same unit as the listing above - EXCEPT - we have been to the platers and had a batch of these sit in the plating tank for 'Quite some time'.

The result means they now look superb (pitting at the 4 x ends but thats to be expected) and now these are rust free both internally
and externally, as you can see from the pictures.

Due to plating costs these are a few £s more ! - but do look rather good if we say so ourselves !!

74 degree Thermostat for reducing V8 Running Temperatures

Keeping a V8 engine cool when being worked hard can be a task and a half !.
This low temperature running Thermostat will reduce the overall running temperatures of your V8.

Fits at models with the standard '2 bolt' fixing making a significant difference.
These are the hard to obtain '74 Degree Stat' (most V8 are 88-92 !) we have managed to source a number of these, when they are gone they may well be gone for a while.

As a guide ALL rover V8s run best at around a target temperature of 80-85 degrees, more than this means strain on head gaskets and liners, esp 4.6s !

Rover V8 Thermostat Restrictor 3 Plate Kit

Ideally a Rover V8 should have a cooling system that over cools the engine, the thermostat then regulates the temperature.

In reality V8s and not just in competition struggle to remain cool, or cool down fast if they get over hot.

Race engines often don't run thermostats, if they jam the engine will suffer massive damage in seconds.

Restrictor plates give massive cooling control, fast de-heat times and an improved coolant flow (even open a thermostat is very restrictive).
These kits have 3 x CNC machined Discs in 3 x sizes in special Al Alloy 5251-H22 (Just in case you thought it was any old Ali !)

The plates each giving differing flow rates allowing you to 'tune' your engine.
Start with the mid size, then either go higher or lower or stay with it - target around 80-85 degress.

These made a huge difference to my engine when fitted - so we thought we should put them in here !.
Just be aware that the engine will take slightly longer to warm up from cold - but this pay off is worth it !!

Megasquirt V8s Range of 'AFM' Tubes which take MAT Sensor

Listed below are our range of 4 x AFM Tubes, all of which take our MAT - 'Manifold Air Temperature' sensors for Megasquirt systems.

One of the design challenges we wanted to achieve was to get rid of the massive restriction in air flow that the standard factory 'Hotwire AFM' achieved so well.

If you look at the picture opposite you will see that there is a huge change now in the ID of our tubes which remove this restriction
meaning more air to the engine, which if you combine with the better stronger Spark, and Megasquirts 'mapable fuelling' means - MORE power !.

These are all available as part of our standard kits - with the ability to choose whichever AFM suits your engine bay best, or purchase here on there own.

Air Flow Meter Tube Stand Alone version

We now do 4 Models of the 'Megasquirt V8 AFM (Air Flow Meter) Replacement Units', all have been plated in a Deep Passivate finish.

The 1st is this complete replacement unit, and is more suited to those who really need the absolute confidence of having a more waterproof solution.

This Model completely replaces the original AFM Assembly which can then be sold. This is basically the same length overall as the unit removed keeping life simple !.

It is designed to replace the AFM where currently fitted, and is secured by 2 Hoses – 1 Hose between Plenum and the Unit,
the other between the unit and Air Filter Housing + Snorkel. The 'MAT' Sensors supplied by us are a direct fitment into this assembly.

These are all available as part of our standard kits - with the ability to choose whichever AFM suits your engine bay best, or purchase here on there own.

Air Flow Meter tube the Le Stubby Version

The 2nd option of our AFM tubes is the 'Le Stubby' Unit

These are as a result of being asked for something very very short where space is at a absolute premium.
So, these are just 70mm long including being flared both ends. The actual 'Mounting Boss' for the Sensor is 20mm,
so, if you add say a hose and have it 25mm inserted into each end, then in effect the unit takes up just 20mm !.

Deep Passivate finished, and really good for those engine bays like mine - that have 'Aaaargh ...bugger all room' problem .

These are all available as part of our standard kits - with the ability to choose whichever AFM suits your engine bay best, or purchase here on there own.

Air Flow Meter tube the Le Stubby Version with Port Inlet Pipe

The 3rd option is the 'Stubby Unit' - But with a 'PWM Port Take Off'

These units are used where there is a need to run a PWM / IAC unit which is being used where Stepper Motors are either not present on system,
or stepper unit can't be run and in a Deep Passivate finish.

Again, having been asked for something very very short where space is a premium, we have these which are the same + PWM Port on side for the PWM system.
Just 70mm long flared both ends and as in the picture with the Port take off TIG welded in place.

These are all available as part of our standard kits - with the ability to choose whichever AFM suits your engine bay best, or purchase here on there own.

Air Flow Meter tube which uses part of a 3.9 AFM Unit

The last option is the Model shown opposite.

This unit uses the end part of an existing 3.9 Hotwire AFM Assmebly which bolts to the end of the new replacement AFM flange with suitable sealer (LR STC50550 is recomended).
This reassembled unit then allows the standard V8 Air Filter Housing to be clipped back into place and maintains everything in the standard position within the engine bay.

However, this factory join from AFM to Air Filter Box is sealed with just 2 x O rings, and for deep water wading this factory seal can fail, hence why in competition
the complete replacement unit is more often one of the other units we do , but for a road based motor this is a popular and neat under bonnet solution.

Finished in Deep Passivate plating all available as part of our standard kits - with the ability to choose whichever AFM suits your engine bay best, or purchase here on there own
