2. OUTLINE
This presentation will give a brief overview of my project. It will explain the presented problem and solution as well as the motivation, assumptions, and future work.
Pictures will be included for further understanding of the work I have completed.

3. MOTIVATION
My automotive interests mixed with my technology and electronics interests.
I wanted to challenge myself
I wanted to further my knowledge in general electronics and automotive electronics.
I needed an engine management system for my car.
Multiple slides may be used for motivating different aspects of the problem that is being solved through this technology or device

4. INTRODUCTION
My project covers both fields of Electricity & Electronics and Computer Systems
I have been researching in plan to build one of these specific systems for well over a year
Electronic components needed
Wiring diagrams
Sensors
Software

5. INTRODUCTION Essential Theory: Construct the physical system
Create a wiring harness
Install software on laptop
Install firmware on system
Wire in additional needed sensors
Install complete system into car
Tune

6. PROBLEM STATEMENT
When an automobile’s engine becomes highly modified, the factory issued engine control unit (ECU) becomes insufficient for the engine’s requirements.

7. PROBLEM STATEMENT Sub Problems Fuel trim adjustments
Timing adjustments
Idle settings
Sensors

8. Assumptions
To build: the user will have a working knowledge and/or willing to educate themselves in electronic components, electricity, soldering, printed circuit boards, wiring, and slight advanced workings of a computer.

9. Assumptions
To use: the user must know general car engine knowledge and how they work and what the engine will need at a given point in time
Can hire someone to do the final tuning part.

10. PROPOSED SOLUTION
In order to find a solution to my problem I had to decide on an EMS
Research, research, research
Build one myself
Buy a MegaSquirt DIY EFI kit from
Buy the other components needed specifically for my car
Download/install software
Assembly
Testing and troubleshooting
