[Diy_efi] Magesquirt vs D- jetronic

[Gianmarco Rizzo BE/EAS]

the megasquirt is a very good and refined design, even though a lack of integrated ignition control is a big turn off for me.. 
 
i am surprised that an open source, sequential, integrated ignition EFI based on modern MPU is not available yet.
 
i am currently using a box with such capabilities on my bike, which is the result of one man hobby work
 
i can even use different a/f for each map point, using WBO2 feedback

Hi Folks, 
 
does anyone have knowledge about the Megasquirt Fuel injectionsystem?
 
Iv'e been considering a Megasquirt to replace my L-Jetronic ECU & AFM.
 
I've just read the 'Bosch Fuel Injection & Engine Management' book
by Charles Probst.
 
On Page 12 of chapter 7, he talks about the D-Jetronic injection system. 
It was one of the early types. It didn't have an AFM and worked primarily on intake manifold pressure (as well as throttle position and Engine RPM).
He mentioned that this system is inferior to the later systems and not worth considering. The only thing worse seems to be carburettors. However if you want to tune for performance, he says some people use carbs rather than the D-Jetronic. .
 
Is the Megesquirt based on the same things ??
 

Sam
