I've been a car hobbyist for years, installing and modifying my own fuel 
injected turbocharger system and such. One of my friends in the hobby who has 
done interesting things with engines and so on, got involved with Mega-Squirt 
years ago when it first was created.
Basically it's a universal simple fuel injection system that can be managed and 
reprogrammed. I think it is a closed-loop system, reading a Oxygen sensor, a 
manifold pressure sensor, and calibrating fuel delivery. New versions can also 
intercept ignition signalling from the flywheel sensor and adjust timing. Not 
sure if there is a knock detector function or not.
Now, this is mostly a car-hobbyist system, but it does seem to enjoy a good 
reputation. Every car I've had in recent years is fuel injected with zero 
issues.
I'm just throwing this out here to see if fuel injection as a way to move past 
carb issues, get more precise fueling and better performance is happening on 
KR's.
Personally, I'm looking (hoping) to build a near-original KR1, and keep it as 
simple as possible (other than a possible retractable tri-gear, in-flight 
adjustable prop, belted redrive,  and turbocharger system, and full autopilot, 
LOL).
Anyway, here is the megasquirt info:
