hey guys. i received my MegaSquirt (MS) standalone ECU. This is where I intend to keep everyone updated on the install. This way, if any one has intention of doing aftermarket ECU work, they will have a basis to go on.

The MS ecu comes completely disassembled - bare PCBs (printed circuit boards) and seperated components that require soldering. You can, however, buy it assembled, for a nominal surcharge, but i find it more interesting to build it myself.

I purchased an Innovate LC-1 Wideband sensor and controller to interface to the standalone ECU. I also purchased the MS V3 unassembled ECU kit, plus 12' harness, plus lead bender, plus 2 oxygens sensor bungs, a DB9 straight through parallel cable, and I think that's it. Total was $530 shipped.

To fully understand what is to be discussed, you should probably check out www.megasquirt.info and read a little - that is, if you're interested. Otherwise, you can just look at the pictures for fun and ask questions if you car. Because I have to go pick up Jasens (Saj3n on here) car soon, I don't have time to start up the first build process, but here's a picture displaying the build quality of the main harness that DIYAutotune.com (where I purchased EVERYING) supplied.



Check back FREQUENTLY (ie., i will be working on this pretty steadily so you could almost check back every 3 hrs or so i will more than likely added content). Maybe this will get stickied at the top, maybe not.
