We are from Porto, Portugal. Both of us are programmers with little to no experience in electronics but with a reasonable experience in automotive repair because is a family business. In terms of electronics we just have basic tools (soldering iron and multi-meter) and components that we use for some basic IoT projects. The idea is to buy a microrusEFI kit with pigtail and progress from there, replacing the two ECU's from the Uno engine. We will try not bothering you with basic questions, there's a lot to learn about from our side.
Some photos of the car and engine.
The project is in a very early stage, the original motor is still in place but we had already bought the Uno engine and some other chassis parts (brakes, front subframe, etc) to transplant. The Uno engine rotates nicely and looks good from the outside but we still have to open it and check the interior.
About the two original ECU's:
- Magnetic Marelli Microplex for ignition control. In the Uno Haynes manual I could read that it uses two VR sensors to read a two teeth pulley in the crank and another in the cam for synchronization. Picture of the ECU and an interface diagram .
- Bosch LE2-JETRONIC for fuel control. I still have to read about this ECU but could find some details about it in the Haynes manual as well. Picture of the ECU and pinout .
To finish we thank you in advance for your time and support, especially to the creators and contributors of this project.
