Megasqiurt
Hi all.
I have decided to use throttle bodies on my 1.8 Zetec silvertop engine install. To controll the fuel I intend to use megasquirt. Ms2 V3 to be precise. Probably a higher spec than I need but who knows what will change in the future. Having tried the msextraefi web site I find it is no longer available. :confused: Looking for an alternate UK seller has drawn a blank. I realy want to buy it in kit form. I see this as all part of the challenge. In any event it will give me a greater knowledge of the modern electronic engine controll systems. ;) I am at the moment thinking of buying direct from the USA. I am a little concerned about being hammered for import duty though. Just The VAT to pay or is there import duty to pay as well !!?? I have posted this on the other side. :rolleyes: Thinking that this may be a valuable resource for the future on here as well. :) |
Hey Ronnie, your dabbling in witchcraft you know, next thing you'll be getting a laptop to diagnose the the beast. :eek: :D :D

As far as vat and import duty goes, If you get the seller to send it as a "gift" then 9times out of 10 you will get away with it? Or at least I always have?

I know Rich.
Scary but exciting at the same time. :eek: A bit like my good lady when she is after something. :D After many,many years of tinkering with carbed engines with dizy & the likes it's time for a change. At the outset I was adamant that I wanted to go the old school route. However, after reading the posts in support of moddern technology combined with a couple of constructive chats with Allan Jeferys son I became convinced that Zetec was the way to go. Then the free 1.8 Zetec came out of the blue, that was the decider. To be honest I am really looking forward to th challenges that lay ahead. I'll dare say that I will live to regret those words when it all goes pear shaped a few months down the road. :o I already have a small laptop loaded with some basic OBD2 software for reading fault codes & reseting engine check lights etc. My oldest son spotted a 7" touch screen that you can build into the dash allowing you to do a bit of re mapping as you drive. How extreme is that !!?? He is heck of a lot more interested in my build now that I am going moddern. Hence the offer to buy me a megasquirt for my BD. :D |
i imported my ms2 v3 components in from the usa and it turned up in 4 days no duty to pay etc etc. havent built it yet. have tucked it away until the car is through the sva on the pinto lump.
i already have a 7inch touch screen for it and a pile of old pentium 4 laptops sitting around keep us all updated on your progress as im sure you will finish yours well before me. |

Mind you, if you keep chopping bits off with your grinder. I may very well do :D :D Thanks Mike |
I got some parts when i used megasquirt on my rs turbo (the engine is going in the roadster) from a company called DIY Autotune, they are in america but never had any problems with their service
|
Thanks for that James.
I have been looking at that site. If I end up buying from the USA thats who I will use as they look to be the main distributor of MS in the states. :) |
Anyone know owt about microsquirt? used on bikes apparently so a lot smaller
