i think its better if u get the bits urself, the 2nd group order finished ages ago and i havnt heard anything bout another, the hard part to get i think is the MAP vacum sensor, if u are running with either a turbo or supercharger, the part stated needs to been changed to a higher rating one, the standard 1 cant handle the higher pressure. im currently thinkin of building one myself with a few mods for my 2t-geu once i get it runnin Embarassed , sounds alright since its simple and easy to modify Evil or Very Mad


You can quite easily use a MAP sensor off another car... all MAP sensors are quite similar, just they have different pressure response curves.
It would be quite easy to mount a diff type of MAP sensor in the engine bay (ive got a Bosch engine bay mounted MAP sensor here), wire it to the megasquirt using shielded cables and use the utils to generate new MAP sensor tables.
The MAP sensor im tlaking about here is a common part in Aus, i pulled it from the engine bay of a car (cant remeber what it was) at the local u-pull-it.

Getting the MOSFET they use for the injectors will be difficult, but dicksmith sell the 60N06 which will do the job fine, if not better (ignore thier data for it in the back of the catalog, the RDS-ON rating they have given is wrong).

The MOSFET driving IC will also be hard to get, but TI make a similar part (same pinout, function, and faster) that will do the job that can be got using thier free samples web page (itll arrive in about 2 weeks).

The uC (microcontroller) should be easy to get, but youll have to make your own programmer for it... MS kits come with it pre-programmed.

Most of the other parts are quite commmon.

BTW... i havnt made one, if it sounds that way.
But i have researched it a lot. Im using some of its ideas in a Injection/Ignition ECU im developing.
