It's not news to anyone here: stock FI parts wear out and are becoming harder to find, which means maintaining the stock FI system in a reliable and well-operating condition is becoming challenging and expensive.
This is not meant to be a debate on which is the best because that's purely a personal decision based on many factors...I'm just wondering what people are running. Feel free to add in why you're running what you're running in this thread. I personally am converting from stock FI to megasquirt this winter because

Currently running Megasquirt 1 controlling fuel. stock 91 subaru legacy auto 4wd ecu in automatic mode. Will be upgrading to megasquirt 2 ecu soon thanks to the good Dnhunt. Megasquirt is not for the weak of heart or motivation. Its a Wire & Pray kinda setup where you have to read like your back in college, you build circuits to suit it to your application. I had to build an inverting op amp circuit to install my megasquirt in line with my subaru ecu cause the tps signal was inverted. SO I inverted the signal coming into the squirt presto! That took two days to figure out and get working alright.
Then build a circuit to get a happy signal to the tach. Right now I'm working on a sequential shift light setup built into a stock tach, it goes on and on, if you can dream it someone probably already did it with a megasquirt. The squirt for the most part is only as good as you can build your aux circuits that will be needed, install the squirt, and use and get used to the idiosyncracys of an open source FI computer, Its not perfect and you will have some issue's I promise. There rant over.... I did it cause I couldn't find a cheap ass method of making my motor not run like it wanted to explode thanks to the open exhaust and intake setup. SDS and others like haltech sound great if you have the coin to play with well supported ecus that have someone you can call when you get stuck. There thats my .02 how willing are you to (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif) |
