ill make the magasquirt for you. i happen to have one just laying around. its basically everything you need. coolent sensor and intake temp sensor and all is there. built and tested with a basic rotary map built in.

try some people on here that use megasquirts. i think sonicrat has a megasquirt. timing is an issue you need to work out though since the ms doesnt cxome stock with timing controle.

I said that I was not familiar with Megasquirt and I recommended against using it. I'm familiar with more than just Haltech systems although they're my favourite.

I highly recommend against using this system since there seems to be so little real-world experience and support for it as well as that it seems to be much more difficult to setup. I think you ought to go with a tried and true, with years under its belt, that many other people are using with success, instead.

Yet another reason not to use it -> are you saying it doesn't have any spark control???

It does have spark control, and they recelty figured out how to do the trailing split.

Its pretty damn easy to tune, easier then my haltech e6k. It uses a 3d map graph to tune wich makes it pretty damn easy to find flat spots. Took me few minutes playing with it till I figured it out.. But if you have the money go haltech I still prefer it over megasquirt..but if your on a low budget megasquirt should get the job done.

More info on megasquirt for those that are curous.. http://www.megasquirt.info/

And search the forum.. has been covered a few times.

well i would go haltech but my car is really hitting the wallet right now and megasquirt is the cheapest route.....sorry i didnt fully understand ya bdc and thanks again for the kick *** price quote.....what do ya guys think about the new greddy ultimate emanage. its supposed to have about every feature you could want to tune your car and its only like 550 bucks. im still open for now if i have to then ill get a haltech but really cant afford one at the moment.

I've been running the megasquirt system on my 87 TII (using 10-12psi of boost) for over a year now. The car is a dedicated autocross and track car and I have had no problems with it. It isn't a plug and play system though. I have been using it to run my fuel and letting the stock computer run the ignition. If you aren't worried about trailing there are several rotaries that have been using the MS to run both fuel and ignition. The trailing ignition is very close to being finished.

I would recommend megasquirt to anyone that wants to save some money and learn a whole bunch about how your car works. If you have any questions about setting it up pm me.
