I suggest trying to get the wideband installed and working before doing the injectors, for two reasons. A) the lc-1 is finicky to install for some people (me included) and you will definitely want to know that the wideband is working correctly before putting in bigger injectors.
and B) the wideband will help you know how well the ecu is set up, and will probably provide information that is vital to you getting your car running well with the new injectors.
as far as installing the injectors go, its a really easy job, read the ms manual about it to get all the ecu requirements, (reqfuel), and its just unbolting the fuel rail and popping in the new injectors and wiring them.
good luck,
Evan

This x 1000. You're being pretty cool. So i wont make fun of your car as much any more. What your looking for here you will find as far as turbo's whether you want 200 or 500 hp. You have taken a correct step in megasquirting your car first off. I was able to get mine kind of peppy with the megasquirt. But... there is no replacement for a magical turbo.
I'm not interested in 500, more like a subtle 200 would do me
Yep Megasquirt was a must, I had toyed with the idea of a bipes and fmu, but I thought If I'm going to do it, I may as well do it right!
I'll fit the wideband tomorrow and see how I get on, and then possible get the injectors in by the weekend.
As far as fitting the wideband, would the cat be a suitable place for it, obviously there's no core in the cat
It would be an easy place to stick it, as its only four bolts holding it in!

As long as the cars not going to blow up the minute I see some boost then I'll be happy enough!

Air vents Don't bother me, I'l keep the two on either side, the ones in the centre console can be donated to a greater cause!

One for all the haters of my little car
, some snaps from a recent feature.
Got a little bit done on the build, welded the bung into the exhaust, after a look at the possible locations for it, I ended up putting it into the neck of the cat.
Going to dive into the dreaded wiring!UUHHHH, just having a look at a few build threads to see how to do it!

Got the wideband in yesterday, oh god was that a horrible job. I don't have the patients for wiring!
But its now up and running all the same. Although I'm not too sure of the accuracy, the gauge and megatune are reading differently. And as far as the gauge is concerned, the car is overfueling abit.
This is all on the Megasquirt base map, so abit of fiddling will be needed to see what the story is with it!
And a quick question for someone in the know, for programming the lc-1 into the ecu, what is the volt output from the lc for 14.7?
