Janek said:graham, whats the deal with this megasquirt deal... ive heard a lot of rant, but no facts, no one thats used them, no one that really knows anything... is it something i should be concerning myself with? i have the ovlov 760 motor, mpfi, and plan to upgrade it eventually... something i need to be looking into?
thanks, Janek
p.s. i will start a thread about this megasquirt stuff... megasquirt: NFI?
GRAHAM WALLIS said:I have built the unit and tested it with the simulator that I built up from parts obtained from Jaycar ($40).
I am at present fitting the sensors to the engine ( obtained from Commodore, Daihatsu etc) and this afternoon hope to have the engine and box in the car. It should be going by early next week and I'll bring it to Morwell. Received your entry by the way.
If all goes well I will be fitting one to the 205 GTI, not sure what engine yet, though.
Do you have an engine mount for STI/GTI, the one from the rubber mount to the cross member? I'm also after an electronic ignition module.

I should have both of those items but they go with the motor I have for sale. I dont have the wiring loom at the momemt but I may be able to get that back if you need it. If you want you can borrow them and replace them when you can. Let me know. I can bring them to the meeting on Friday if you want. Do you need both engine mounts?

Janek said:sounds fine to me... i have a fair bit of experience repairing blown computer motherboards and the like, so soldering teeny bits and pieces is not an issue... sounds liek fun... you think its a worthy upgrade?

Janek said:graham, where did you get the software you need to tune the ecu via laptop? a part of the megasquirt bundle?
P.S. congrats, glad to see it all works!
Pugnut403 said:What's the advantage of Megasquirt over an ordinary ECU?
crosspug said:Ordinary as in standard?? Megasquirt is a programmable ecu (Fuel only). Although it was mentioned above that there is an Fuel+ignition one as well. While the standard Maps of an ecu (that comes with the car) cannot be changed (or very little if at all). The megasquirt can map the A/F ratios via laptop.
Like a not so expensive Wolf2D fuel only ecu. Although heading towards the Haltech's etc when it gets ignition capability.

Congratulaitons on the MS success. :banana: I have had a serious look at megasquirt and the combined megasquirt/megaspark systems and I was seriously considering installing one on the 505 wagon (with the 4 port head engine) when I rebuild it later this year. Sounds like a success so far, I'll keep my eye on this spot for updates.GRAHAM WALLIS said:It has very good tuning software and I managed to get it very close after an hour or two of driving around. This has got to save money in dyno time.
The system has been designed with economy and amateurs in mind and there is an on line forum where issues can be discussed.

What injection system did you decide on? Pugrambos suggestion of the falcon twin t/b sounded good on the weber manifold. I'd suggest it would be very good on the 4 branch one I have.
