Megasquirt Mappings, for 1.7L engine Options

[bd1308]

I need this thing to have some baselines pretty quickly. Basically I really need this thing to be like a weekend project in order for me to get to work/school on a monday or something.

at least something is needed to get it to idle, I plan on using a WBo2 sensor to aid megatune to tune my engine, I also plan on first using 'fuel-only' function in MS for now, and then add spark using the hall effect system(or optical?) that VW actually employed for the vanagons.


any help would be appreicated, i'm still in building phases( collecting needed small parts, etc.) but would like some gameplan.

Is it easy enough to add spark after the unit is programmed?

I just posted all my MS settings in toon1's post about a week ago. Those settings should get the basically running if nothing else, as long as you wire the sensors in a similar way and use an MSII (or you can use the settings to create a map for an MSI manually, there might also be software to help with that).

I don't recommend putting the MS box into a stock ECU box. It is a bad idea for several reasons including:

1. it gets too hot in the engine compartment
2. environmental exposure, esp moisture
3. hard to access for repairs, tweaks, and firmware reflash
4. you will need to find a place for your wideband controller anyway, put the MS nearby along with the fuses and injector resistors.
