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

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

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.

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.

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.
