Try the (drumroll please) Megasquirt writeup!! It covers everything you could possibly want to know. If you want someone to build you a msII, ask The_Chosen_One.

Get in line and expect a long wait if I build you one.

I'm currently working on Secret Squirrels install kit and almost done with it, just waiting on some supplies, and weld up his bracket and he should be good as new.

MY price is pretty fair I charge about $550 to build the ecu and harness, as well as a base tune to get you driving.

OR if your good with wiring or atleast decent than I recommend you get the MSII SMD 3.57





The price is $436 and its assembled, add $60 for a harness, and $100 for supplies and some parts.

I recommend you do the latter as I am a VERY lazy person and I take on average about 4 months to build a kit. I hate doing wiring.

ill sell my full setup with all sensors etc for 500.

you need to wire the harness up though.

ecu has a base map from the_chosen_dumb,

sensors are new, have all pigtails etc, you just need to wire it up to fit your car.

Hey no problem, just thought you should check it out because it pwns. Building your own megasquirt only takes a couple nights working a few hours a night. It also gives you a great sense of accomplishment...and costs so, so much less. Not to say $500 isnt an awesome price, but if you do it yourself its so cheap it makes you feel dirty.

Lol yea, I plan on doing my own.

I will probably get the ECU assembled because I suck at soldering, but am doing my own harness and everything, should be rad.
