i went to megasquirts forum and couldn't seem to find any concrete answeres. i am thinking about doing this. what all is involved in this swap? is it hard to do? and what do you guys that have done it think about the swap? any info will be apreciated, thanks.

 

which megasquirt are u looking at?

my first megasquirt install took me about 6 hours from start to finish and another 2 days to get it tuned n/a before i did my turbo tune.

as long as u can follow the directions its pretty straight foward install when i did mine i had never done anything liek it before

 

cool, thats the info i wanted. thanks! just looking to get it running a little better for now and something that i can also mod and adjust for latter. possibly looking to twin turbo the car in the future. on my mustang it was pretty straight forward on how to do it, but was unimpressed with the ford performance. not really sure on what megasquirt to get yet. i think i am going to call them and see what they recomend.

 

Personally i would go with MS-II at the moment as MS-III inevitably has lots of bugs to be worked out before its daily-driver stable. The only significant difference is native support for sequential fuel injection which in my opinion is only necessary for the most fuel economical, or the most high perf engines (nothing in between). I would also reccomend something like a V3.57 mainboard from the guys at DIYautotune.com (superior customer support and great products). The amount of time you'll have to invest is dependant on whether your contemplating standalone fuel managment or fuel & spark managment. considering only fuel managment i would say projects89s install time estimate of 6 hours is accurate. After that i probably spent 2 hours on a chassis dyno and my tune was complete.
