Open ECU rule and CIS

[shwah]

The flapper valve and bowl are integral to the mass air flow sensor of the CIS system. Thus they cannot be modified.

While we are at it, would you also suggest that a carburetor is a mechanical computer?

I think you just did

Seriously - someone (not me) WILL take it to that point. You can yank the fuel metering out of a carburetor, stick an injector (or four) in it, add a megasquirt, and voila, you'd be taking maximum advantage of the new ECU rule. Would it get protested? Uh, it better, because that's certainly not the spirit of the new rule, but I doubt CIS mods are either, and here I am looking for anything I can find for us CIS guys.

Back to my CIS questions,
I see your point on the bowl/flapper, but I can see this one easily winding up "in court".

Maybe it's time to scrap my CIS car and build a Megasquirt equipped A3 dub.

Maybe, with this rule, I can make the ITC New Beetle competitive!
