1149, need 420a engine management
Posted by ESI2TSI, Aug-09-05 02:48 PM
All im reading are megasqiurt post. I looked it up and it looks complicated. Keep in mind im a NEWB with 420a's. Im used to apexi fuel controler and MSD's ignition box, or hondata. Are these things not a good way to go? I just start my turbo bastard mix and the next buy will be something along those lines, MS seems very complicated and time consuming. It seems you have to make your own maps. Im also not sure im reading all that correctly. !!!WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS!!! My head hurts from reading. Obviously i want the best thing for me, but i want to insure it is a little complicated as possible. Any help would be nice.

my advice - Keep reading. my head hurts too, but it's good for you. If you are going to do any kind of "engine management," honestly you should really read up on all the details. MS is far from plug and play, but if you have questions the MS forum is always there.

8-inj set-up using the 034EFI is a good beginners option... not to complicated.

That will be the easiest route and then when you are comfortable with it upgrade to megasquirt. If megasquirt looks complicated then you are not ready for ANY standalone.
