I actually reccomend using a Wideband O2 sensor. So yes, you can use one

You only really need two things to pass emissions:

1) A good stock cat/that gets good air from an airpump
2) A good tune on your ECU (Read: You dont have some messed up setup that has you misfiring, pinging, and detonating everywhere, and you're running decent AFRs)

Once the S5 version is released, will it be constantly for sale or it is a limited production run? Also, any pics?

does it eliminate the AFM?

fcdrifter13

Thats a good question, but seeing how it plugs into the stock harness i would dought it does, but hey im no expert.

I know that you can use it with a MAP sensor, but I don't know if this sensor is included in the kit that Zeal is offering. If not, you can buy one for a few bucks, solder it up to the board, and run a vac line.

Tofuball

It comes with the MAP sensor biult into the MegaSquirt unit. You just need to run a vac line to it.

We don't know yet.

Yes, you can leave the AFM in if you want, but I reccomend removing it and burning it.

so like wen are they gonna come out already ?? i wanna be one of the first to get it i dont want to get an rtek... but since its taking so long i might just have to

Icemark

Yeah, shipped along time ago. I was actually the 1st to get one

Great product, I reccommend them to anyone looking for an alternative to the expensive stand alones.

Ok..since I am A Newb when it comes to Stuff like this,I have a "stupid Question"...If I install this System in My car,what will happen?Will I notice an Increase in Power?.I haven't touched anything "mechanically" on the Engine yet.It is Stock.(aside from the Cone intake,MSD ignition and Header).Thanks in advance if you can answer.Post or PM.

speed_monkey

It's easy for a standalone, since they have a base map on it already all you have to do is tune it and not have to worry about the initial settings to make it work. Just hook up a laptop and find a nice empty road. (a wideband helps alot here) Just make alot of passes with varying load and rpm, (on the laptop) hold shift then press up or down to richen or lean the mixture untill you get the desired results. But then you also have to mess with accel enrichment, timing, split. It helps if you know alittle bit about what your doing or have someone to help you along. There are a few people on the forum that could help you through tuning it some though

I assume you are n/a?

If you tune it good you will notice an increase in power (no more stupid AFM! yay) and you should pick up some mileage since you will be leaning the mixture out.

ever try the auto feature to tune it?

speed_monkey

I dont have a wideband yet

I will be using one for sure once the s5 TII block goes in though.

LOL, i havent messed with any timing or that sorta thing but id like to get it...be alot better for the 6 port turbo..

So from what I can tell, a wideband o2 sensor would allow the Megasquirt to auto-tune it?

slpin

inaccurately... yes

i assume just the A/F raitos for the auto tune no timing or anything like that..

Tofuball

Auto-Tune for timing would be awesome It's a feature people have been playing around with for some time, especially with this ion-sensing technology.
