I figured it would only be a matter of time before I switch my '87 Jeep over to a MegaSquirt. It's currently a Multiport EFI system from the factory. Like how Chad saw significant gains with Rusty going from the OEM computer to the EMSPro, I as wondering if any one has seen or has experience with these Jeep inline six engines with a standalone ECU? If so any place I can get essentially a plug and play or OEM tune for it?
At some point down the road I intend to bolt a supercharger to the engine, so eventually the ECU swap (or rather piggy back for the trans) will happen.
My concern with the OEM setup is two fold. First is the fact there is no "Check Engine" light at all, so how do I know it's running as it should? I'm thinking about dropping a new O2 sensor in it (providing it's a cheap narrow band one) just because I don't know it's age or if it's functional. With a MegaSquirt I can check in on it's readings. The second concern, well more of a thought, is if can I get more mpg's and/or power out of it's current mechanical configuration.
