oldcorollas Forums Junkie Location: Kita-Ku, Sapporo, Japan Registered: January 2003	Re: About MegaSquirt Tue, 25 February 2003 01:57 Heya, i picked up a V2 kit from the second group buy. i also bought the Megastim to test it out (was US$40!!!). both kits + postage +int money order etc cost me about $300.... the PCB was made very well, no traces shorted (tho some V1 kits had some probs), was very easy to put together, and runs perfectly using the Megatune software and the stim... when i get bored, i fire it up and play around with the injector sizes and enrichments, and do datalogs to se how it might work in the real world ;D although it doesn't have huge resolution in the mapping, the interpolation and high processor speed (8MHz BUS speed!!, 32 meg chip speed) mean that if tuned half decently it should be ok. it is definitely not a turnkey system, in that it requires some thought on your part and some mods to components for tach signal filtering etc.... BUT, you can modify everything about it. you can use any sensors, if you change the sensor tables (some code stuff), and you can alter the actual programming of the chip if you can work in assembler... it is all open source and there are literally hundreds of people working together to make this system work better. the diverse installs are testament to the general nature of the design. it has ben used on V8's 6's 4's, rotarys, turbo 5 cyl audis, a turbo 900cc hillman IMP!! (3 or 4 cyl?) and is being pu on some bikes too (not sure of their status) if anyone is interested in it, download the Megatune tuning software from the yahoo groups site. it's in files-megatune, get the latest version (2.14 i think) and have a look at the tuning stuff and enrichments and the 3D tuning table etc.... and also read thru the Megamanual (link already posted) i haven't installed mine (i need to finish my PhD first but it will be going on a 4K hybrid engine in a KE15 (the one at dyno day 5... had 47.2kw then..) if anyone in the sydney area is interested in seeing a megasquirt in person, i'm offering a look see at mine. let me know and we can arrange something. the new ordering system is not as nice, but the last group buy was for about 600 kits, which is a lot of work for two guys who do this as their hobby!!... those ppl who have one already, and are in NSW, get in touch with me Cya, Stewart [Report message to a moderator]
