I have used megasquirt for a few years now. Highly recommend.
Of course DIY means that the tune is only as good as the tuner... strongly recommend getting a good wideband o2 sensor as it make s a world of difference to tuning.
MS takes time to install and can be upgraded in millions of ways if you have a soldering iron and patience but do not enter into the MS realm unless you're prepared to spend hours researching and reading how it works and how to modify it for your application
. Even if you get a pre-built unit you will most likely have to do some soldering on the ignition circuit to determine the best signal method for you.

However, the aussie dollar has never been better against the greenbush...

Absolutely!
I am using it on a Z car, it will do anything! but you need some electronics knowledge IMO.
Easy 2 tune for anyone! but can difficult for a novice to setup things such as different ignition ccts.

I feel sorry for the new owner of this megasquirt. It was sdvertised as a Version 3 but the photo's clearly show it is a Version 1. I was about to put a decent bid on and might have won it but at the last moment I decided to do a bit of research based on a couple of links in this thread and voila. A couple of basic checks revealed it to be V1.

It depends wether or not its going on the same sort of engine it was tuned for and whether or not it comes with the harness, Relay box and tuning cable. If yes it's not a bad buy BUT

Because you can buy a new assembled ms 1 for $250us but with all the other stuff it's about $600us or $570aus
I put my order in yesterday 8) when I found out my standed l18e ecu was faulty :evil:
