Megasquirt ECU??

[ShowOffXD]

Does anybody run a megasquirt in their XD's?? If you dont know what megasquirt is please do not respond to this thread...megasquirt is a standalone ecu that you re-pin to fit the wiring harness. kinda like the chip you install and then use krom but megasquirt does alot more.

What do you need to know about it? It's a PITA to tune thats for damn sure.My buddy has one in a LC2.I may be able to help ya out a lil bit

way to fail. OH beta accent started a thread on his already. there aren't many people who have the commitment to do it.

I'm getting ready to get it running on mine within the next few weeks, what do you want to know?

I'm waiting on the Innovative LC-1 to come in then it's all going in. I'll try to take as many pictures as possible.

hey bud, im running one right now. the hardest parts honestly are due entirely to my inexperience. the megasquirt was my first time tuning a car,
first time working with a standalone, the first time working with a megasquirt, etc. a lot of things i'm fighting now are likely because of poorly select engine constants in the beginning and then getting a decent tune from them (ie: 1 squirt simul instead of 2 squirt alternating.)

a lot of your best answers are going to come from oh_beta because he's running the same motor you are. he and i talk quite a bit off the forums and exchange msns info (im on a 1.6). honestly i feel that our trigger angles and all of the other inane settings will be the same. even so i'll try to help where i can.

Just out of curiosity what is the projected cost for a megasquirt setup? I plan on watching this thread closely.

[OH_Beta_Accent]

I assembled it myself so...

$195 for the Megasquirt I V3.0
$20 for a open element GM IAT sensor (Not required for N/A)
$75 for KnockSenseMS for knock detection (not required but recommended)
$35 for all the mod kits to add a extra igniter (required), cooling fan, boost control, and nitrous control
$160 for Innovative LC-1 Wideband Cable and sensor. (required unless you have full time access to a dyno to tune on)
$55 for a 18" Wiring Loom to tie in to stock wiring harness (not required but recommended)

So far that's all I need to get the car running and I'm at around $540. But I'm also going turbo so some stuff I bought might not be needed for your application.

I would like to tune my N/A setup since our stock maps suck so much ***.

I wanted to see if anybody had it, and how they liked it. A couple of my friends have megasquirt. They run it on a AE86 with a 20V swap and a E30 bmw on boost. I like the megasquirt cause its cheaper then other standalone's and making it and tuning is not a problem cause I have all the time in the world. Most likely I'll have to get the ign tables off that guy oh_beta. I'm almost done putting my turbo setup together. Just waiting on the downpipe being made and a couple of welds for the I/C piping :D . So when thats gets done its time to start with the megasquirt :redface: . I just started this thread because i think are cars have alot of potential and megasquirt can give us that type of ecu tuning we need without spending a arm and a leg. Im the only person with a hyundai out of the people I chill with, they say Im crazy, i just see something with potential. :D
