FridgeFreezer Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 is this really all i need to be able to megasquirt my rover v8? Yes. or do i need extra map sensors etc? No. they sell the complete microsquirt system for rover v8s? Yes they do any reviews on this company? I kinda object to the price they were charging for trigger wheels & sensor brackets, but since I got a batch of my own cut I don't have to buy them from them anymore so it doesn't bother me. I believe the guy who runs it is a member of the MS community & a nice chap, the stuff is nicely done and the price is not bad at all really. what are the differences between microsquirt and megasquirt? Micro is more money, has an external MAP sensor and lower injector drive current (which from memory I think may be pushing it a little bit for a Rover V8 with 4 injectors per channel). is that a good price??? (thats the big question i wanna know?) Yep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_d Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 If you want to get the most support from the guys above then you should look to getting MS1 rather than Micro. If you then set it up with the same version of firmware/software they will know exactly what you have and how to help you. A cheaper version of trigger wheel is available from Ford as fitted to transit vans. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FridgeFreezer Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 tried to pm mr fridgefreezer and it says member cannot recieve any new messages???? That'll be because my inbox was full (500 messages!) And I'm not making any more ECU's for the moment, I don't have the free time. is it better to go for full megasquirt for my rover v8 due to low injector current of microsquirt? Well I'd hope if trigger-wheels.com are selling them for Rover V8's they work OK, I know Bill & I have talked about it and concluded it could be close. My personal view is that Micro is 50 quid extra and less flexible (you can't add I/O as easily as it's all SMD) so "normal" MS would seem to make the most sense. which is better megasquirt 1 or 2?? That depends on what you mean by better. For the average Land Rover V8, MS2 is overcomplicated. A normal MS1 on a V3 board is all you need. how much a complete megasquirt kit is for my rover v8? Define complete - my usual kit is: ECU EDIS 8 Trigger wheel & sensor mount 30cm Wiring tail Which runs to about £400, depending. But you could also define it as: ECU EDIS 8 Trigger wheel & sensor mount VR sensor IAT sensor lambda sensor & boss Plug-and-play loom complete with all relays etc. RS232 cable Software CD Big book of instructions Vacuum hose & tee piece 2x coil packs & bracket Which would be a few quid extra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRecklessEngineer Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Try Bill Shurvinton: bill@shurvinton.fsworld.co.uk He's also on the list of approved MS suppliers under Bills Attic. He is moving house at the moment, so you may not get an instantaneous response.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
