Squirt my ride! Options

[Ductech]

Alright all you suby guys! Stay tuned. I just acquired a megasquirt 1 with ver 3.0 mainboard! This came with a wideband lc-1 controller. and the home made harness from diyautotune. all for 300 bones! SO here is the spec of the project.

Ej22 cold air intake, easy breathing exhaust. Currently running the stock ecu.

Plan to upgrade the megasquirt with a zeal engineering vr conditioner board so that the squirt can run off the stock subaru timing scheme.

Once upgraded I plan to start working on just piggybacking the squirt and developing a fuel map.

Just gotta by a bunch of parts for all of this to work. Has anyone setup a megasquirt on a subaru 6/7 scheme engine on here? Mostly i was hoping someone had some decent parameters for the sensor's. that way i wouldn't have to pull my temp sensor and boil it to get the specs on it.

Any who wish me luck guys.

Heh Now anything that has power commander in the name reminds me of throwing power commanders on bikes and dyno tuning. Power commander like piggyback systems only do well where they are tuned in my opinion, mostly because of atmospheric changes. And this all depends on whether or not you build in an atmospheric pressure compensation map in that thing or not. If it's a true piggy back then it will only change fueling so much from the stock ecu and if the stock ecu goes leaner or rich cause of atmospheric changes it could throw things off more.

I have had people tune there bikes with piggybacks and as soon as they get up the mountain they feel as though the bike is not as smooth.

Right now my biggest problem with fueling is during the warm up routine while the engine is below 160' F During this time the motor runs really lean and pops, has no power etc. If I used a piggy back unless it could tell the car was cold and had a specific cold correction map then it would be useless. Oh and as soon as i get a new camera I will document the install of the squirt. I also want to post tuning screen shots and maybe some tutorials for the more advanced stuff that may help squirt converts Subaru or type 4 or v8.... The pineapple motors take some wierd tomfoolery to get the ignition pulses correct, mostly to do with the secondaries i believe. Although i tend to believe if someone wrote code to run an odd fire 90' seperated ducati twin with megasquirt im sure some dork figured out the rotary.
