Another play with DashWare

Took a Megasquirt log this time so I can show boost,rpm etc.

I like the telemetry setup. How reliable do you find the megasquirt ECU.

I haven't had any issues with the Megasquirt. The one I have is a microSquirt SMD cased version so there is little to go wrong with it really and it controls all I need it to at the moment.

I find it pretty easy to navigate Tunerstudio and that log there was actually taken with my Android phone and ShadowDash. Gotta love it.

Good to here, might try getting my engine running on an aftermarket ecu as NA before possibly turbo charging.

I'm playing around with this 1.8 engine I have while I wait for the wheels of bureaucracy to turn and I'd like to fit a lighter flywheel now while the engine is apart. How did you find out about the lighter mk2.5 flywheel and did you weigh it when it arrived? Was it lighter?

I read on here about it being 7.6kg as standard. I didnt set out to buy a specifically lighter one so I didnt bother weighing it when it got here, I just wanted one that didnt slip like greased up deaf guy.
