Hey! Long time reader here, but haven't a lot yet. So I thought it was time for me to share my project here at The Late Bay. It was a little difficult to choose which part of the forum to post in. But I ended up here in modified. Admins, feel free to move thread if there is a part of the forum that is more appropriate. My bus is called Belinda. She is a 1974 1800cc Type 4 camper. When I bought her she had an ugly high roof that was a pig job to drive when it was windy. She ran and drove fine when I bought her. Started to act up after a little while. Backfires and not running properly. So I decided to rebuild the carburetors. After I did that, I realized that I didn't know jack sh*t about tuning and syncing carburetors. With the help from Ratwell, it did turn out pretty good though. But, onwards upwards. I like computers a lot more than old mechanical things. So I decided that I want to convert Belinda to EFI. Not the old (and to some, pretty bad) VW EFI. Noooo. I decided that I want to this with aspeeduino. An open source ecu that highly tunable. Right now, I'm rebuilding the engine, because of a pretty worn out crankshaft (crankshark). Somewhere along the way, I also decided that I wanted to make a Youtube show about my build. Here's the first episode. There are more of them on the channel.
Welcome to the forum. Great plan and it's what a lot of what of us do on here ' swap and trade secondhand parts! On the electric theme. Have you seen these? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/100-ELEC...992201?hash=item3d51e56149:g:UNAAAOSwzppaJoYS
Thanks guys! That electric bay looks really great! And quite cheap, if I compare it their non electric buses.
