Hybrid_From_Hell Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 You defo need to get out more Most excellent , As for editing start a new post, PM the linky to me and I'll merage / alter I will when I get a chance pop a note right of the front of the MS A-Z thread so this is "Known" by all reading that thread early on A Nice effort for all future and existing MSers Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Nige, would it be a good idea to have a sub forum in the tools/fab for Megasquirt stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lansalot Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Brilliant work James, this will be invaluable over the coming weeks for me And a thumbs-up for the separate-forum idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 forgot to say what a great idea this index was ! So much MS info to trawl through, such a great wealth of knowledge... and a right PITA to find the bit you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Since it was mentioned, I will point out the "official" paths of MegaSquirt info. However, due to the fact that MS is designed for ANY engine in ANY car, the information covers such a broad base & so many weird and wonderful options that I would strongly advise NOT reading it unless you need to, and instead following Nige's thread / searching on here as what works for one car does not necessarily work for a Land Rover. I have had to sort out a lot of problems caused by people doing things the MegaManual says which they didn't realise don't apply to them The official MegaSquirt manual - contains circuit schematics, build guide, wiring, sensor & injector info, basic tuning, troubleshooting etc.: MegaManual The official MegaSquirt forums: MSEFI.com Contains useful tech on setup, sensors, wiring etc., however most of you, if you've been paying attention, will be wanting the MegaSquirt-Extra forums: MSExtra.com Which are for anything relating to the MegaSquirt'n'Spark-Extra code that most people are running. One that you should post on, if only for the benefit of others, is the "My MegaSquirt install runs" forum, otherwise known as: MSRuns.com (Incidentally, if you do post there I'd advise mentioning LR4x4 as anyone looking to MS their Landy would do a lot worse than to visit here and read up) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DakarKit Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Hi, In the process of building my own MS ECU, does anyone have a pic of a completed ECU as I'm getting confused about which components I actually need (going by the DIYAUTOTUNE build instructions) Cheers Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
