My EFI 'kit'

I've started designing an EFI kit for our beloved GS.  I would say I am around 20% done right now; still planning and prototyping some subroutines on the microcontroller ironing out how to do what needs to be done.

My objectives with the kit are as follows:
Total cost <$250 for everything:::  (most of that is the damn fuel pump...)
Bolt on::: retaining carb functionality for those who want double reliability or cant afford to tweak (work bike etc)
Tuned like a 3 stage carb with a screwdriver (no need for an extra laptop suctioned to the gastank while you tune it and ride around)
Simple: 2 external sensor connections.



Also:
I was thinking about doing an ignition advancer but it wouldn't be as cheap as the mod available.

And to those who are curious.  Its being programmed in C on an Atmel AVR 8 bit microcontroller.

Experience enables you to recognise a mistake when you make it again

holy crap, that would be AMAZING. I always thought that there was a huge hole in the motorcycle market for a EFI kit, after you get the gs500 kit done, you should work on a universal kit for everything. I'll bet you could sell a TON of them if you could get it working well/reliable

$250 sounds like a bargin. I paid $350AU just for my ecu when I set mine up.

Thats rediculously awesome. What would be even awesomer is if there was some way to add fuel mapping for boost... yeah just a thought......seriously though.

Darkmyst

Just a thought, but it it can be tuned over USB.  From a linux system.  It would make me want one 10 times as much cause then I could use my n810(handheld computer) to tune things.
