[Diy_efi] Megasquirt

[bhu678 at gmail.com]

Wow, had to look twice there.  I'm doing a MegaSquirt conversion on my 
Z*2*4 motor right now . . . .   The MegaSquirt is a little intimidating 
at first, but the flexibility is unbelievable.  I watch my Mustang 
friend fight it out with his factory ECU and I just have to smile, 
knowing what I paid for my setup vs. what he pays every time he needs a 
guy with a programmer to change his tune. I paid less than 400 for my 
ECU, stim board, harness, and USB cable - I make changes whenever I 
want, even while driving if I have my laptop with me.  He pays $75 every 
time he wants a change, just so he can keep his sh#tty factory ecu.  I 
don't get it - I think he's just afraid of the learning curve.  Buy your 
MS from DIYAutoTune in Atlanta, their kits and service after the sale 
are legendary.  They even have a guy who spends most of his day on the 
forums answering questions. . . .  The way I kept mine simple was to 
ditch the distributor first (EDIS + MS sending advance), then to go to 
port injection.  Still doing phase 2, since my motor never came with 
port injection, I'm having to get more creative than normal.
