what is a megaSquirt?

[muttpower]

I got it now...I new I heard of MegaSquirt before...it's an advertisement for male enhancement...

"Tired of only squirting tiny C*mshots...Want to impress the ladys with a massive C*mshot??? Then try our new MegaSquirt! The ladies will love the cuploads of fresh....."

You get the point...any more quoting, and I'll get banned from this forum

Yep, that's the combo. I could of sworn my filter was off, heh

Was I the only one who DIDN'T think of ejaculation when I first read the topic?

Growing old is mandiatory,
Growing up is optional.


Not that I have the right to tell all you oldies that

A lot of posts for a topic that shouldn't have even been started.
Poor guy though, he is probably clueless, came on this forum to ask a few of his (although to us, stupid - to him important) questions only to be blown away by everyone.. he won't be back - I would laugh if it was a millionaire wanting to donate!

But i guess a google search would have been much easier than signing up to forum just to ask that question.

right, thanks for bashing me guys.
can we forget that i asked now?

[muttpower]

Right...sorry bout that man...I promise, no more "ejaculation jokes" from me from now on...at least on this topic anyways.
But yeah, welcome to the forum, and hopefully u don't get turned off from this site from a couple of us being smart@$$es...you really can find just about anything out on here...

wasnt just for that question...
thought it would be easier than googleing (for some reason).

anyways, its a fuel management system, correct?

I'm just being stupid cause it seems I/we've had to hold alot of hands to help people in the last while cause they're getting less capable of even attempting to help themselves just a bit.

MegaSquirt is the registered trademark of an aftermarket electronic fuel injection (EFI) controller designed to be used with a wide range of spark-ignition internal combustion engines (i.e. not diesels) for learning about electronic engine controls. It is a complete standalone fuel injection controller with proven software and hardware, developed by Bruce Bowling and Al Grippo, engineers that work on the US East Coast. The software for the platform is open for modification (for use on Bowling and Grippo hardware only) project. The hardware provides for only fuel, ignition and idle air control in most cases, keeping the cost low (though there are user configurable outputs in most cases for other functions). The hardware is open in that the schematics are available for troubleshooting and educational purposes, but not for copying. The product is aimed at the DIY market as in most cases MegaSquirt requires assembly and tuning by the user. Basic costs can be below US$300 as of 2009, although this will vary widely depending on application.

if i got one, could i potentially let it do the configuring and what not, or would i have to tinker and tune a whole bunch?

[Nd4SpdSe]

Megasquirt, combined with a wideband, will do it's own autotune, but a professional dynotuning would yeild more power and efficiency

[fowljesse]

I got one, and put it in, and just put in the wideband O2 sensor, and controller. It has been more work than I've ever put into any upgrade.. and I've built and tuned tuned everything from 1 to 8 Cylinder engines. It's alot of headache (if you're right-brained like me). I'd rather push wrenches for twice as long than do all the reading, and trying to understand how to make it all work together. I still haven't gotten to tune it yet. It will definitely be worth it for me, since my engine is so far from stock.
The more mods you have, the more worth it it will be. That should be the motto for engine management systems!

is it really that difficult? its computer software that you use, right?

[marcdh]

Megasquirt itself is hardware - an aftermarket/DIY engine management unit. Programs like Megatune are the software used to tune it.

It can either overide (piggyback) or completely replace (standalone) the OEM ECU.

It can be difficult enough if you build it from scratch, or in my case there's a problem with the electronics that you just can't work out. On the other hand I found it easy to wire up to all the sensors except the RPM input. Being a DIY project it is certainly not plug and play, and with so many variations of the board and mods things can get confusing easily enough.

In other words, unless you plan on going to a kl, or turbo, or some other high hp build, I'd hold off on the MS&S. Start with the basics first.
