There are a couple of us in the Seattle area, myself and John Dombey, who
have been following the MegaSquirt developments. We both plan to 'squirt
our TR6's at some point in the future, but John is in the process of a full
frame-up and I am just putting the finishing touches on a replacement
engine, so the EFI conversions won't happen for a while.
My new engine will be running about 9.5:1 compression with a GoodParts GP-2
cam. I did a little mild porting on the head and smoothed out the
combustion chamber profiles a lot. If the EFI conversion goes smoothly and
works well, I may swap in a GP-3 cam later.
I plan to do the EFI conversion by mounting a set of PI intake manifolds
with electronic injectors from a TR8. I will have to machine the manifolds
a bit to match the injector bodies. I will use a stock PI air plenum, and
mount a 52mm throttle body up to the plenum front end.

For those of you who might have an interest in doing EFI, but feel that
the cost may be prohibitive, check this out:

I heard about this from someone on the 6pack list, and it's fantastic.
A very cheap EFI engine management system. It has all the features
that you need. For less than $200! You need to do final assembly of
the computer, but it's apparently pretty easy. All you need to add is
a manifold, fuel pump, fuel return line, fuel rail, and some sensors,
and you are ready to go.
I know of two listers, James Franks and Ed McGuirk, who are using this
system on their cars. Anyone else out there have any experience with
this setup?
