Megasquirt - The Quintessential D-I-Y Fuel Injection ECU

There are a lot of off-the-shelf fuel injection controllers on the market these days. So why would I want to build my own? COST! Plain and simple. Why spend $900-$2500 for a controller, and still need to add a bunch of stuff, when you can get an open architecture, highly re-programmable, super flexible controller , for around $180!

Granted, the Megasquirt requires a bit of study, and a lot of reading to get going as desired, but the flexibility is utterly mind boggling! The system code I'm running is MSnS-E, which stands for Megasquirt and Spark-Extra. This is quite literally, a second source programming version that has taken the already super flexible system and added even MORE features.

A list of the features that you can control with this ECU and the 'Extra' firmware, is as follows....
