Hey guys, I have come across someone who is willing to part with a megasquirt for cheap. I just need to finish assembling it and make a harness for my car. My question is, how exactly does a standalone ECU like that do all the same things that a stock ECU does?
Do I need to pull the stock ECU's program off of it's ROM and load that into the standalone? My main concern is: will I be throwing engine codes all the time by replacing with a standalone? I know that putting a megasquirt on a 5s without going turbo might seem like a waste, but if I get it cheap enough I see no reason not to go for it. I also know that I will need a wideband, which I should be able to pick up for like 200ish. Is anyone running a megasquirt on a 5s currently who has any advice to impart? Also, yes I did use the search function, most of what I found was dealing with 3s motors. I will be updating this thread as I learn more about how this works so that others in the future can learn from it. Thank you, Nate This post has been edited by Arsaces: Mar 7, 2012 - 1:00 PM |

what sensors/wires are left unused when you wire in a megasquirt?
can it use a factory knock sensor for ignition retard? -------------------- Mike W
