EFI recommendations
HI All, I’ve just ordered a Megasquirt 1 V3, and waiting for it to be delivered and was wondering what other parts people use and recommend. If you
could let me know on the following
Fuel Pump
Fuel pressure regulator
Fuel filter
Lambda sensor (if not the LC1 intermediate box do you use to decipher the signal)
Fast idle valve
Think that about it at the moment
Many thanks

try here for webcon bits but could be a bit pricey.

I think that you will find it hard going trying to do without the LC1 controller. I'd suggest that you bite the bullet and get the LC1 kit,
there will be enough to keep you busy 
You may well find that you can live without the fast idle valve initailly. I have never got round to fitting mine, just use throttle control whilst
cold and a spark table that stiffens up the idle speed control.
Cheers,
Colin

Sound like a good option 
do you have any reccomendations on suppliers for the wideband controller?
Also what do you think of this
Ebay

I bought my LC1 from Bill Shurvington (see the msefi site), some have bought thiers direct from the states, a search on recent posts should find
it.
The fuel pump on ebay looks like an in tank one, is that the route you want to go?
Cheers,
Colin

The relevant parameters are:
Will it generate the pressure you need for your injectors?
Will it flow sufficient for the power you are after at that pressure?
If the flow is significantly higher then it will pull extra current, I think that mine pulls around 7A from memory.
Is it of reasonable quality that it will last more than 5 mins?
Having said all that:
Although there is no make, part number or tech spec, if the car it's being sold as being suitable for runs at around the 3bar mark and has
greater power than yours then I would think that it is a low risk purchase. I paid about that for one from a scrappy.
It is generally a good idea to mount them in an anti vibration mount. It should help the pump and reduce the noise generated.
Cheers,
Colin
