ZetecTurbo - Mega Squirt ?

Postby disc on Sun Jun 13, 2004 11:09 pm

Hello!
Is MegaSquirt can be used successfully in implementation of ZetecTurbo engine as ECU? Is anyone tried before and what is the result? On Megasquirt site says that it's fully capable to run turbo engine pretty good. Also that ECU can be tuned with computer/laptop at home! Give me some ideas for other DIY cheap EFI for runing ZetecTurbo. MegaSquirt can be build for less than 100$.
Sorry for my bad english...

Interesting stuff!

Is there anywhere you can buy the PCB?
I have no equipment at home to print my own PCB :(

Yes, that is Megasquirt! I'm plan to run my 1.8 Zetec turbo on that stuff and looking for people that already done this. In USA they build HUGE turbo engines like 3.8L or 4.2 with that ECU. So?

PCB's and partial kits (PCB, a programmed HC08 ECU, 3 Bar MAP sensor - Motorola - MPX4250 and a MC34151P FET driver - just for 60$!!!) can be purchased via website.

And please please let me know your progress!!
I am super interested, being an electronics hobbyist, full-time programmer and now a car enthusiast :D

Well actually it is a MegaSquirt for EDIS special edition :P
Such as FRST.

But it should be applicable too apparently.

Yes it is got to be the best or easiest to use MegaSquirt for Zetec Turbo :D
Keep EDIS for ignition, and use MegaSquirt for fueling (with a bunch of goodies like shift light, digital speedo etc) with minimal changes to the car and minimal work (except the actual mapping).

Gotta be good.
