DIYPNP - The Plug-N-Play EMS for just about anything...

More info at http://www.diyautotune.com/diypnp/

The DIYPNP is a Do-It-Yourself Plug-N-Play Engine Management System. It is made up of three main pieces that allow for an incredibly flexible and modular system for building a plug-n-play EMS for a plethora of vehicles.  

MicroSquirt Module- At it's core, the DIYPNP is based on the MicroSquirt Module which is a MegaSquirt-II Processor based ECU on a credit card sized PCB. The DIY element of this EMS comes from the fact that you assemble it yourself from a kit of components, soldering the unit together and then adding wire jumpers to route the signals to the connectorboard to match the needs of your car. The assembly is not nearly as complex or time consuming as a standard MegaSquirt ECU kit assembly, there are fewer components and all components are sized so that they are easy to solder (no tiny transistors here).

Mainboard- We've taken the awesome capability of the MicroSquirt Module, combined with the MS2/Extra firmware, and built out a mainboard that adds a very nice featureset including pretty much everything we get asked about on a daily basis by our customers. You've got dual ignition inputs and up to four ignition outputs (hi or low current, allowing for Coil-On-Plug for up to a 4cyl engine or wasted-spark ignition for up to a V8 engine. Distributor based ignition is of course supported as well. Knock control, boost control, 4 spare inputs and 4 spare outputs for driving fans, intake butterflies, on/off variable cam systems, whatever else you can imagine. There are more features too, check the features and documentation pages for full details.
Note-- All of the primary Inputs/Outputs are brought out along the edge of the mainboard that lines up next to the connector board.
All common ignition input/output pullups are as simple as they could be with a resistor network in place ready to setup.

Connector Board- And then the last piece you need to know about is the connector board. This is a small PCB that slides into the same slot as the mainboard and lines up right next to it. It's usually not much more than a breakout board for an OEM style connector that often fits a stack of vehicles as many of these connectors were used by multiple manufacturers, and often on multiple vehicles/engine families at each manufacturer. Sometimes we may fit an extra circuit on the connectorboard if we've found that the vehicles that use that connector typically need a particular circuit. An example of this is the Bosch Motronic 55pin connectorboard, which hosts a circuit to control the 3-wire IAC valve that is common in vehicles that use this connector.

So after you handle minimal assembly on the mainboard, you do a bit of research on the harness pinout in your vehicle (or download a spreadsheet of pre-researched info and just check it for accuracy in your application), and you use this info to run a handful of jumper wires from the mainboard to the proper breakout pins on the connectorboard bringing the signals in/out on the proper pins on the connector. This is what makes the DIYPNP so easy to apply to such a broad range of vehicles. It's basically a set of PNP EMS building blocks, with awesome results.

You want boost control, run a jumper to the input and to the output. Turn it on the in the software and tune it.

You want to convert your engine from it's stock distributor to wasted spark or COP, add the proper crank/cam trigger wheels to the engine (you might have what you need already inside of that old distributor) and wire those sensors up to the DIYPNP, then wire the ignition outputs up to your coils, set your timing and tune it.

The flexibility is massive. And if we didn't include a circuit you want, we've got two large proto areas on the mainboard (one is under the uS Module) and in some cases there is a third proto area on the connector board if we had the extra space.

I'm new to this so your factory wiring harness plugs up to this megasquirt and you solder the connections inside the unit to taler to your factory harness.

@adamryanclark Yep, most any car that the connector will fit, you can jumper the DIYPNP to match the cars wiring harness, set the timing and base config settings to get the car started, then verify timing and start tuning!

Looking for a set for my car. Engine is Pug/Citroen running Magnetti Marelli ECU. Nothing for me?

[foundsoul9]

@sharmcos Maybe-- what ECU connector does it use?

What are the hp gains from this?

[foundsoul9]

@davo247d

HP gains depend on just how mismatched your current tune is to your engine/intake/exhaust. People often start bolting on parts and never fully realize the potential of the new configuration because the engine isn't properly tuned to take advantage of them. An EMS like the DIYPNP allows you to dial in your tune to perfection for any set of mods you have. You can get the ignition timing, and fuel, spot on at all load/rpm levels. Not to mention the other features it makes possible.

Lmao soldering between the legs?

[ST165SLEEPER]

i just bought this last month its for a 3sgte i just need to reinstall the software next week !!

[fastest95pgt]

Another awesome product from DIY Auto Tune! I can't wait to replace my current DIY (by me) plug & play setup with one of these. Talk about taking the worry away!

[davo247d]

i might have to pic one up one of these days you know how money is

[davo247d]

on the 22re one you have on ebay
