![]() strip back all the unwanted engine manigment suff and fit megasquirt (set up right) would be the best bang for your buck.
and could be tuned to any future tweaks. simply nothing beats the right mixture and timing every time that is the beauty of eletronics. |

To be honest I wouldn't waste time on Megasquirt. I've used it in the past, ended up costing almost as much as an omex system. ![]() Car spent too much time with me trying to fix msqt faults and after two expensive recovery trips ![]() The omex does what it says on the tin with no hassle. Not a single breakdown from the time it was fitted to the time I sold the car. BV ![]() |

Probably a silly question but why should one of these be used, what are the real benefits over the stock fuel management system (am i right in saying these are just standalone fuel management systems?) Are there additional features, easier for the home mechaninc to tune/modify the engine etc. Just trying to get a better idea of these systems. Will try to do some research on these during the week, but would appreciate if someone could give me a starter lesson ![]() When you buy one, does it come pre-loaded with base maps or does this all need set-up by an engine tuner first. Im sure all will become clear

![]() Yeah, they're both aftermarket engine management systems intended to replace your original ECU.
The benefit is that they allow you to completely mess up, erm I mean tune, your spark and fuel ![]() Unless you're going to make heavy engine mods, go forced induction, or just like to spend endless hours tapping numbers into a lap top I wouldn't bother! Saying that, I probably will replace my OEM ECU post-IVA, but mainly because I'm a bit of a masochist and like playing around with electrickery ![]() |

My old Subaru Impreza WRX (as my avatar) had some fancy fuel management system and was pumping out around 350BHP, it had a "Dual map " setup where i could use on one setting for "Road" ![]() ![]() Could something like this be implemented into one of these Fuel management systems that have been mentioned. Would probably only realy be worthwhile if the motor was turbo'd ![]()
