well finally took the plunge and bought megasquirt.

Its a MS-II with the V3.57 board. going to be running it in the focus along side the stock ecu with EDIS-4.

wish me luck nig nogs.

ok, thats cool.

i so want megasquirt for my nova.

but i cant even afford a motor, so no go for me.

in to see how this goes. my M3 will be boosted before the end of the year and i plan to use MS. too bad its not as easy as my civic to run boosted

Re: Let the fun begin.
 
once you do some research you realize just how easy it is to install a megasquirt.

i might just me being cocky but it doest take that much to install one. then again, i have put one in yet so dont pay attention to me :)

Re: Let the fun begin.
 
My roomate is running a megasquirt on his supercharged miata. But he bought it as a plug'n play unit, hooked right up to the factory harness. Its not hard to tune..but its a little dumb.

I realllllly hate the fact that it reads in mbar only with no other option, and I could never get launch control to work at all, nor does he have a rev limit. It runs..but not nearly as well as my honda.

you know that the megasquirt will easily control the edis4, i think it is 1 wire. no need to complicate things with 2 ecu's

Re: Let the fun begin.
 
the reason for the 2nd ecu is because the stock ecu controls the fuel pump, its a returnless fuel system and the stock ecu regulates voltage according to fuel pressure.

Re: Let the fun begin.
 
why not make it a return type system? its not that hard.

Re: Let the fun begin.
 
eventually i will make a return sytle fuel system. but for now i want to get megasquirt running on a fuel system that i know works, i dont want to many variable that could go wrong on my first try at the megasquirt.

Re: Let the fun begin.
 
i think it would be harder to tune when the fuel pressure is ------- rollercoasting up and down, why not just make it a constant pressure and be done with it.
