TheNOBBLER[RL] Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 (edited) Just wondering if any one knows of a 4age or similar using the MegaSquirt computer in Australia. I have been hunting and have found others overseas using this setup, but I havent been able to find anyone here. I have been interested in Megasquirt for a while, but am yet to have a play. Have a look for and see what you think. http://www.bgsoflex.com/megasquirt.html I must note that I have searched the site for related posts and have had some success, but no one seems to have given it a crack. Please correct me if I am wrong... Jarrad Edited April 8, 2006 by TheNOBBLER Quote
Clown Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 Gearbox on here (also a vic member) has/is/was doin the whole megasquirt thing on his 4agze aw11. I cna't remember as i got distracted by his corolla. Quote
mrselfdestruct Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 I have a friend here in Sydney who is applying to be the Australian Megasquirt distributor as they do not have one here at the moment; he has a fully functioning megasquirt computer wired up and ready for installation into his EB2 Falcon but has decided not to use it as he is now decoding the Ford ECU instructions from Assembler (CPU instructions for those not in the know) to plain text so it can be tuned/rewritten as he desires with NO piggy back ECU - pretty neat if you ask me! I'm sure if anyone was interested in having a Megasquirt made I could put you in touch with him, let me know via PM. Quote
Jason Posted April 9, 2006 Report Posted April 9, 2006 well what do you need to know? It has great support, the forum is very helpfull if you get stuck. There is a couple people that have 4age and boosted 4age if you need a starting map for it. Quote
TheNOBBLER[RL] Posted April 9, 2006 Author Report Posted April 9, 2006 Sounds like there is alot more going on in Aus than I thought. Sounds good. I am only in the planning stage at the moment, I started a project a couple of years ago with a slant 6 engine in a Val, but it was abandoned as I returned to study. This was when I became interested in Megasquirt but never got heavily in to it. Jason, is it possible to use the existing engine sensors on a 4age? Mainly for simplicity, but also to keep cost down? If not, do you have any recomendations? The engine will remain stock for a while, but I would like to go forced induction down the track. mrselfdestruct, if your mate becomes the distributor it will really help the Aus scene. He seems to be pretty switched on! Clown, thanks for the tip. I will have to get on to gearbox. I will have to get on the ms forums... Quote
mrselfdestruct Posted April 9, 2006 Report Posted April 9, 2006 Yeah it would be nice he has an ABN and such already, they will be getting back to him on Tuesday. Just btw he told me today he is building up a Megasquirt install for an AE86 Trueno (TVIS model), I'll post more in this thread once he's started. Quote
Jason Posted April 9, 2006 Report Posted April 9, 2006 u can use the orignal sensors, but you might have to change the code. But the cost of some GM sensors isnt that great. Quote

Yeah, thats what I thought. I don't mind having to change them, but it would be nice not to have to. I am very interested to see if the TVIS is kept operational as I have heard it is a pain to setup with an aftermarket ecu. I would like to keep it on mine as it makes drivability down low much nicer.

Jason Posted April 10, 2006 Report Posted April 10, 2006 (edited) well, the MS has about 5 outputs you can use to trigger stuff at rpm, engine temp, almost anything you can think of its very versitle (not a shamless plug heheh its just so dam cool) , so i see no problem whatsoever having it triggering a airvlave for the TVIS.

Sounds good! I'm not completely up to date with the new ms, so I will have to get stuck into it. Thanks Quote
Jason Posted April 13, 2006 Report Posted April 13, 2006 spend the money and get a V3 board and a MS II Quote
