gearb0x Forums Junkie Location: Victoria Registered: May 2002	Re: megasquirt ecu Tue, 30 August 2005 05:46 I personally think paying someone to build, install and tune a megasquirt kinda defeats the purpose of the whole megasquirt idea Megasquirt is aimed at the DIY types looking to learn how EFI works, and save some $$$ in the process. With the price of aftermarket ECU's these days like microtech, the money saved is negligible compared to paying someone to build one. for a 1jz, you will need hardware mods and custom circuits to drive the coils (and if 1jz is coil per plug, i doubt u will find enough outputs to drive the coils anyway) All the R & D that would go into building one up to suit a 1jz, paying someone for their time... its better to go aftermarket OR build one ur self. if u were to "downgrade" to a wasted spark setup it SHOULD be no problem to drive a 1jz (with aforemention hardware mods). You might save money, but in the long run if you were to run into troubles, you will be left out in the cold with no support, other than the Megasquirt forums (which is PLENTY if ur the DIY type) Megasquirt is worth it just to learn about what is happening under the hood, if you want to pay someone and forget about it. Buy something like a Microtech, they aint that dear anyway. Phill Disclaimer: this is not direct stab at mr1jz, just a generic rant using mr 1jz as an example [Report message to a moderator]
