MegaSquirt
 

ok so im buying a turbo kit for my ecotec cav, i have been looking into different systems for my EFI management. I can get a really good deal on a new megasquirt system, so my question is has anyone used this system? how did it work. how easy was it to tune? or would you recommend a different system like greddy e-manage or FAST(also a timing system) or something else?

I'm still waiting for mine to come in the mail :-\

Check out www.vems-group.org
DutchPug uses this system.
It's based on the megasquirt, but it has sequential injection and supports every type of ignition out there that I know of.
It has a lot of features and you decide what feature you add to it. an assembled unit was bout 400+ euro's plus the connectors you'll be at 500 euro's
if you buy it disassembled and choose the parts you want and need on there webstore it's a lot more cheaper.
I just ordered one for a friend of mine.

Re:MegaSquirt
 

vems is a ripoff of megasquirt. I'm running Megasquirt on a turbo VW, it's pretty sweet. I'm guessing your ignition is coil on plug, not sure if this is currently supported by Megasquirt. check out the forums : www.msefi.com

Also, feel free to ask me any questions about it.

Re:MegaSquirt
 

Finally...some good alternative discussions. I've read a little on Megasquirt, seems to be a good system.

I guess I'm going to have to start doing a lot more reading now :o

Re:MegaSquirt
 

Check this out:
http://www.megasquirt.info/index.html

Lotsa general information on fueling, ignition etc. A really good primer for folks looking into engine management.

I'm not saying Megasquirt is the best thing since sliced bread, but for $130 it can do a lot of ----.

Look here under "features" to see what the current software offers: http://megasquirt.sourceforge.net/extra/

Re:MegaSquirt
 

so if i got it what exactly do i need to get ? the partial kit or that + other ----??

^^^ you'll need the complete ECU kit and the stimulator. I think it comes out to $180. But this guy organizes everything really really good so it makes the assembly process easier

Re:MegaSquirt
 

ok i went on the site so what i gatherd was i need to buy

Complete kit including B&G MSPKIT and CNC case $140.00
&
Complete kit including B&G STIMPCB $40.00

thats it?? damn seems like a good deal to me. does this make the car a OBD1 system or somthing?

Re:MegaSquirt
 

No, MegaSquirt is not OBD.

Re:MegaSquirt
 

I know alot of guys are running them over on probetalk.com on NA cars and FI. They say it is really easy to work with and is one of the best systems out there if you can do simple soldering (SP?) and wiring.

Re:MegaSquirt
 

Does anyone know alot about this or have a lot of information on this. This might not be a bad thing for me to give a shot. It sounds interesting.

Re:MegaSquirt
 

visit probetalk.com in the engine electronics section section. There is alot of info on the megasquirt floating around in there.

This is a guy from the Neon boards.
He sells Megasquirts already assembled, for those who can't solder for sh*t.
