Megasquirt

I was thinking about converting to ITBs and saw these on the autotune website

Inc shipping it comes to under $280 which is about £165, which seems really cheap.

What else would I need other than TBs, sensors, wiring harness and fuel pump / swirl pot etc?


Thanks

A manifold??

Thanks

I've got one, or would make another to suit.

Anything else?

Laptop, soldering iron, patience & persistence (for a wiring n00b like me, anyway)

Wiring it in is no prob and for $280 the unit is fully assembed.

you'll still need to solder in the sensors etc to the plug that then plugs into the megasquirt unit

Dont forget that there is likely to be VAT, duty and handling charges to add to the above price.

Don't forget that you will, (I did), have to pay import tax, plus delivery of £15 to PO as well, and that pushes the price "UP" a fair amount. Just my 2P worth. Ray

you will also need all compatible sensor, water temp, air temp, tps, trigger wheel and vr sensor, map sensor, lambda sensor etc.

the innovate lambda sensor on there website looks cheap as well

Also the wiring harness unless you make your own.

I am planning on buying one. I have already already picked up some cheap Tb's.

Time. You will need lots of time. Too many people buy them these days expecting it to be virtually plug and play, it's not. They're cheap not because they're poor quality compared to commercial units, but because you have to do a fair bit of learning to be able to do a decent install on your particular engine. It's worth it though, once you're up and running you'll have a much better understanding of what's going on, and you'll have a very feature rich and reliable system that'll hold it's own against stuff that cost 5 times a much
