Was wondering if any of you guys have tried the Mega Squirt on there cars?

I am probably going to go this route with my RB25DET, but it is kinda sketchy on if you can run the ignition and spark, since it is a distributorless motor. My friend is thinking that there might be a way to do it, but not for sure. Also there is talk about new software that will allow this. For $250 (US currancy), it is totally worth it in my eyes.

No the Mega Squirt is pretty much a full stand alone, just like the power FC. You have the choice of buying the circuit board and making your own box or you can buy them pre made. It can adjust fuel, ignition (not for distributorless motors yet), knock, and has spaces for add-ins such as a two step, etc.... I have heard that there is going to be new software that will allow it to control distributorless motors. Also like a freind has told me, when you get to a certain power range your ecu will automaticly adjust it's timing. For $250, I think it is totally worth it. THere are a bunch of 12-11sec cars running this unit on their cars and love it.

yeh was gonna put one of these on my old skyline, changed my mind though as it was too experimental with alot of If's and But's and Try this

your better to go something like PowerFC etc on such an engine, maybe if your building an older motor up be ok

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.

      Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
