MEGASQUIRT! - info?

[Dustinicus]

I have placed an ebay bid on a megasquirt-1 pcb for fuel cntrol, and i was wondering bare minimum, and also having 3 extra td's for parts just laying around what else would i need to program this ecu? what is the bare minimum partsd that would be required to run this system?

thanks

you really really want to have computer control of timing advance on a turbo engine too, keep that in mind. most people use gm sensors with ms, but you could probably use the stock dodge ones if someone has transfer curves for them. ms1 cant control the later 4 wire ais motor, but should be ok with the 2 wire ones i think.

well im not worried about spark control right now since i dont quite yet have a turbo for my engine, i just have parts cars that never had the turbo when i got em gee how nice huh?, im using the t1 intake for now with a MPI ECU that is untill i get megasquirt and my neon head ... and whats this about a 2 wire ais? i didnt know they made 2 wire setups that could go on these t/b's? thanks for your input, anyone else out there wanna throw somethign in?

thanks

Im running MSI V3 without any AIS, Im just using Coolant sensor, Intake temp sensor (both from GM) LC-1 wideband and the HEP for the spark... thats all you need to get your car squirted.

The neon guys have been using Megasquirt HEAVILY for a while now... RS Motorsports has made a computer just for the neon... Anywho, given this past readings for my neon, I want to MS my 2.5L turbovan instead of dealing with custom cals and what not. I'd love more info on this on wiring and exact needs to make this work!

I looked at your site... I planned on getting a MEGASQUIRT system at first, but with all the stuff that they wanted me to buy it would cost like 500 bux! i work at jack in the box.. lol i cant afford that, i was looking more into an ECM, wiring harness, and the cable that will parallel the computer and the ECM... and how hard would it be to build the ECM with soldering and everything? i dont want that extra thing that costs almost $100 to build i think its called a stimulator... but i just want the one where i run coolant temp, intake temp, and MABYE just MABYE, the wide band o2 but only if i have too... any tips advice?

BTW UnaClocker, I read your entire blog, and that car if F***ING AWESOME I am a huge fan of it, besides i enjoy seeing little cars that people overlook being 14 sec honda smashers that are essentially stock... Is that a sick sence of humor? oh well I LIKE IT

anyway Kudos to the OMNI... and im a finish drinking my beer and go to bed
