68371, Time to Dyno me thinks...
Posted by MrSlick, Apr-04-04 03:00 PM
Well I was out tonight driving around in the Eclipse... damn I love the Megasquirt... the damn car is soo much more responsive and quicker.. even at lower boost settings! It just seems complete now.

So me thinks as soon as I have the money I'm going to go put this thing on the Dyno... tune her real nice and see how many ponies I really have!!!

Anyone know any good Dynos in Central PA? I know theres one nearby in State College... but don't know anyone that's been there.

Off topic, but how hard was the megasquirt to assemble and set up? How much did it cost?

Ahh the imortal questions...lol
Well because I was the first 2GNT guy to do it I had to figure out exactly all the wiring and stuff... so it was more difficult than installing an SAFC for sure... but wasn;t really that bad. More time consuming than difficult. Had a few funky wiring things to overcome.

Here's a breakdown of what it would cost if you had to pay for it all:

Megasquirt - $130 ish.
1:1 FPR - $110 ish.
Sensors - $25
Wiring - $50 ish.
Misc parts - $50.

And of course you'd need bigger injectors if turbo.

With the write up I'm gonna do this week it will make things a piece of cake for everyone else.
