JacktheRiffer Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Which megasquirt w system would be best for near plug and play setup in an L28ET swapped 72 240? I've also read that it may be possible to load somebody's megasquirt files into my own to run the car, is this true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dexter72 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 You can use Megasquirt 2 or 3. You should decide if your going to build it yourself or buy one already assembled. Not really plug and play because each persons setup can or will be different. Also depends on what your using for ignition. EDIS, Coil on plug, Turbo Dist. You can copy maps from the map sharing sticky. Pick a setup that is similar to what your using in your car, copy a map and start tuning from there. It's supposed to give you a head start to get your engine running and possibly driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As to the OP's "which one is the most plug and play" question, I'd say that if "plug and play" is what you're looking for maybe MS isn't the right product for you. The very flexibility and price point makes it so almost no matter what you're going to have to make it adapt to YOUR setup. Sure you can "fallow directions" from someone else, but that still doesn't make it plug and play. It's not like an "all in one box" system you can get from the big companies where you KNOW that all THOSE parts are going to require ZERO calibration or reconfiguration as it's all setup for those parts already. With MS you're adapting the ECU to YOUR configuration so you can use your coil, sensors, etc. And all that said, MS2 makes the most sense to me as it makes for a slightly simpler setup. You can see a straight forward article on diyautotune.com. They cover pretty well the difference between mobythevan's MS1 install write up versus the changes that need to be made for a MS2 install.

JacktheRiffer Posted May 5, 2012 Author Share Posted May 5, 2012 (edited) I was just wondering if there was a way to get a sort of baseline to start fiddling with but is it possible to get an ECU that would work with 440cc injectors, ported head, mild cam and adjustable fuel regulator?
