4826, Newb Questions on MS
Posted by baconater3000, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
So I did a little research on this whole megasquirt and it seems kinda over my head. I was just wondering how many people saw it that way and overcame the technical advancement of this and did it...I would like to try this. But I really have no more knowledge of this than when i have started anyone that can point me in the right direction would definatly have my appreciation. Thanks

Read. A lot. You can find all the info you will need in the MS Manuals, and the threads in Engine Management/Tuning on here.

After you are done reading and have a basic understanding of it, I would recommend wiring it up for fuel only. Then grab a base fuel map and start tuning. A wideband will be very helpful. Once you have a good fuel tune and understand it more, you can add spark. Just take your time and make sure you understand stuff before you do it, and you should be fine. Good luck!

So does all this info pertain to MS2? Or is there a differant page for each operating system?

difficulty can be lowered from a 10 to a 1 due to reading and reading and reading till you can't read anymore! like any standalone efi system, taking the time to understand the functions of the system really isn't all that hard its just kind of a journey.
