mobythevan Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Looks like the time has come. I am ready to order two megasquirt setups. One is for my supercharged 454 and the other is for a TPI small block. I am going to order and build both at the same time. I had entertained the idea of ordering and building units for people on the board that may be intimidated with the ordrering process and finding some parts such as nylon screws, enclosures, dropping resistors etc. The thing is that the pre-assembled units you can buy for $249 are very nicely priced. I could only offer to assemble the units for $200 (save you $50), but you will still have to: 1. cut the end plates of the enclosure 2. screw the two mosfets to the enclosure end plate 3. provide your own LED grommets if you want them 4. connect vacuum tube to the MAP sensor yourself (where the pre-assembled untis already have a bulk head connector for that) If anybody would be interested let me know, but I would suspect for the extra $50 you would probably go with the other pre-assembled units. A couple things I could offer is to load settings for my current setup and test the unit on my car. Not sure if that would benefit many people. My soldering skills are very good. The units would also be tested on the stimulator. This time I may try to stock up on dropping resistors so I can at least offer those to people on the board.

evildky Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 I wish you had done this sooner, I'd have bought 2, I got one running but still gotta swap the injectors and see how your new feul maps work out (thanks for those) and I am still not done with the second one, but it looks like more and more people are going for the MSNS anyone thinking of doing this, I'd highly recomend saving yourself the pain in the arse and getting a complete programed unit unit from moby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmanzo57 Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 I bought my second kit from http://www.glensgarage.com/ . The kit included everything needed, case w/CNC machined ends, MAP bulkhead, etc. Just add solder! $140 Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobythevan Posted February 10, 2005 Author Share Posted February 10, 2005 That sounds like a good deal. I think its easier for most people to get a kit like that so you have the handful of components that are hard to find locally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Moby, Glen's kit was cheaper than buying the regular parts seperately for me - and it comes with the machined endplates too. Only problem is that its such a good deal he's always backordered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
