megasquirt or a sds for fuel
ok what do you guys think shoud i go with the megasquirt or the sds. i have heard the the megasquirt is crap but havent heard anything about the sds. this is going to be for fuel only with the stock comp taking care of ignition. I will have a lot of time to complete the job. I think that i am leaning towards the megasquirt but any help would be appreciated. Any addvantages and dissadvantages would be great.

Megasquirt has many, many excellent features and the price is great--Hell it even has built in electronic boost control (EBC alone are in the $300+ range). And just recently the full rotary ignition setup was released, total control over leading and trailing spark.
My plan is to install the MS in a stock ECU case and use the stock harness. Including LC-1 wideband O2, EGT sensor, MS stimulator, the whole setup will be under $600, without the extras under $300.
I'm getting 17 mpg right now, 70% highway miles, if I can eek out 4 mpg better it will pay for itself in 2 years--at tuesdays $2.49/gallon price.
--->If you like DIY type projects and can learn electronics then Megasquirt is a valid option.
--->If you want drop-in plug-and-play, then pay more and get the aftermarket ECU.
BTW, SDS looks expensive--$841 for fuel only--I'd look at a Microtech or Haltech if you want an aftermarket ECU.

You find this out when you start comparing with other entry-level stand-alone EMS brands.
