This is a great system for people who bitch about not having engine management options for non-hondas. Hopefully I can do a good writeup for HMT v2 to get the word out on this and hopefully show that its not that complicated of a system

im actually interested in your project there...by the way...have enough natty there? lol

Reddy

Oh so what all my other projects were boring and not interesting? :P And no you can never have enough Natty

I had a kid proposition me to solder up a Megasquirt for him so I started looking at the various.

Definitely could be overwhelming ordering all those parts from Digikey so the Glen's Garage option is a good one.

You had to wait quite a while to receive this kit right?

What other options did you get (or could have)? There is a remote display option correct? and a remote tuning option too no?

It would def be fun trying to do a Megasquirt one of these days.

Yeah, I ordered mine from Glen's Garage. It actually only took me 4 hours to do, but I kept getting headaches from the solder.

Have fun man.

this is interesting. id love to see a write up on this when your finished.

Reddy

Yeah Glen's garage definitely practices shipping 102. I ordered mine Dec 8th and I got it Feb 14. I guess I got lucky cause people who ordered before me still haven't gotten their yet. However I think it was worth the wait, he's only charging a couple more dollars than ordering just from digikey but everything is bagged and labeled, worth every penny.


There's alot of other options available with megasquirt. There is a new version of MS comming out soon and its supposed to be really good. You can also datalog with MS;




Here's some of the options for megasquirt;


12x12 fuel tables
12x12 spark tables
DualTable code
Roger Enns' injector staging code
Rev limiter
Launch control
Overboost protection
Mappable Air:Fuel Ratio target for use with wideband O2
Coolant temp timing advance
Inlet temp timing retard
MAPdot accel/decel enrichment
Anti-rev / Traction Control feature
Over-run fuel cut
Ignition control options:
. No ignition (fuel only)
. Distributor for even-fire 2 stroke 1,2,3,4 cyl and
even-fire 4 stroke 1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10,12,16 cyl
. Ford EDIS
. Dual Ford EDIS (e.g. 2 EDIS4 modules on a V TEST
. Dodge Neon crank decoder TEST
. Ford TFI
. GM 7 pin HEI
. Toothed wheel decoder TEST
Switchable tables
Boost control TEST
Water injection control
Dual EGO sensor support
Shift Lights Outputs 1, 2, 3 and 4
Knock sensor input
PWM idle for use with variable valves TEST
Nitrous control (min rpm, new timing map or fixed retard



There's even megaview that you can build which is basically a digital dash:




here's what it will show;


All runtime parameters are displayed in a scrolling fashion on the display. In Runtime Ticker-tape mode, the parameters displayed include:
time since start [SECS] up to 65,535 seconds (216-1), over 18 hours,
current engine operation state [ENGINE] (CRANK/RUN),
warm-up [WRMENRICH] enrichment (ON/OFF),
acceleration [ACCENRICH] enrichments (ON/OFF),
engine speed [RPM],
injector pulse width [PW(MS)].
intake manifold absolute pressure [MAP(KPA)],
barometric pressure [BARO(KPA)],
coolant temperature [CLT(F)],
intake air temperature [MAT(F)],
throttle position sensor voltage [TPS(V)],
battery voltage [BAT(V)]
Exhaust sensors voltage [EGO(V)]
EGO correction [EGOCOR(%)],
air density correction [AIRCOR(%)]
barometric pressure correction [BARCOR(%)],
current volumetric efficiency [VECOR(%)]
warm-up correction [WRMCOR(%)]
acceleration enrichment correction [ACCOR(MS)]
all computed enrichments [GAMMA(%)], and



And remember everything is cheap as hell

Ewww..you're gonna have to use Ford EDIS and add a crank sensor. I'm waiting till UltraMegaSquirt (bukkake!) comes out.

You can also use the coils off a 4g63. I'm not worried about Timing, for my project its not necessary yet I just need fuel
