Time Lapse Assembly Of A Megasquirt ECU

This is a time lapse assembly of a Megasquirt I ECU with PCB V. 3 from the DIY Auto Tune kit. It's been time lapsed to approximately 30 seconds, during which the entire board is assembled, tested and stimulated. In reality this process takes about 8 hours start to finish.

Could I completely replace my stock ECU with MegaSquirt?

Mine already blown, stock priced way too high than MS...

@afdhalatifftan92 It depends on what type of car you are referring to. In most cases the MS can totally replace a stock ECU. But sometimes other functions are run through the ECU such as dash gauges. In that case, more will will be required other than just swapping ECUs. And keep in mind the Megasquirt needs to be wired in and tuned from scratch.

Could I use this in conjunction with an HKS PFC F-CON Piggy back Computer?

@tienshenhan86 No. The Megasquirt is a full standalone. It replaces the stock ECU completely.

Is there any difference between this Mesquirt from DIYautotune and ones from Symtechlabs for the 420a yes, the Eclipse 420a not Neon.

@DALE97DSM Looks like Symtech Labs customizes a standard Megasquirt to run that engine by adding the ignition outputs. DIYAutoTune sells the ECU but you need to perform the modifications (which are documented on the DIYAutoTune website).

@aaroncake

Thanks for the quick reply!

@ZLadie2000 If you are into DIY and have a little electronics knowledge, then sure. But if you have never assembled an electronics kit before, then it's probably not a good idea.

do u recommend the MS for the 280zx turbos?
