MegaSquirt DIscussion

[djkomplex]

get a apexi avc-r, it will help your traction problems ;)

[Josiah]

naw, get a Megasquirt for the same price, use it to control boost....and fuel...and spark...and whatever else you want to control...he he

[FLNeonRT]

Um, I may be wrong, but I don't think that Mega Squirt will do what it does for the 1st Gen. on an SRT/ They might have come out with something so I may be wrong. Last I heard, there wasn't anything like that available for the SRT.

[Josiah]

nope, MS is universal...you would have to mount a ford EDIS wheel and sensor if you wanted spark control, but if your fine with just fuel control data logging and boost control, it will work fine with an SRT4, I'm sure someone will write some code to decode the 02-up crank trigger setup soon anyway so soon enough it will be just as functional for a later 2.4 as it is for the rest of the 420a crank trigger type family

[FLNeonRT]

Yeah, I knew it was universal. Anyways, good deal then. Good to know. Thanks.

[Josiah]

one note on that....the MS boost controller is still in the works, some code tweaking would probably be needed to get to work to its full potential...easy enough to do

Yessir...mines a 04'

Skittle you running a map clamp? Just wondering cause your boosting so high. Thanks. You can pm me if you don't wanna post.

I know I am....until next weekend anyway....map clamps suck though, mine has broken like 5 times and only really works when it feels like it, its either stage 2 or ...no its stage 3 that comes with a 3 bar map sensor though

[FLNeonRT]

Can't you pick up a GM 3-bar for somewhat cheap? Would that work?

[Josiah]

heh, work? sure fit? not a clue, though the one in mopars old kit for the t2s looks remarkably like a gm 3 bar...

I split this off from Skittles thread. Let see how fars you guys want to take it. (discussion)

MegaSquirt has many features than can be use, and its fairly flexible programming is a big +.

Nope,no mapclamp :-)

I know a guy that will have megasquirt n' spark out for the srt soon.

[Josiah]

you can use MS squirt n spark on an SRT4 now...just mount the EDIS trigger wheel and convert to ford EDIS, its really not that hard, plus you can eliminate a lot of needless complexity of the stock computer...and for you weight reduction freaks, the MS weighs in at maybe 1/3 of the stock computer's weight, and comes stock with a 2.5 bar map sensor(20-21psi) (optional 3 or 4 bar) not to mention you can add whatever circuit you want in...want computer controlled nitrous? want to make your radio turn on at full volume when you hit boost?(not sure why you would, but you could do it) and the #1 best thing about MS....it datalogs everything you want and need to see(you may have to make an input for things like EGR though) not bad for $320 shipped, heh sorry I am just abig MS fan now
