I ran into one called MegaSquirt. Is anybody using one of these? Can somebody give me a "25 words or less" explanation of what it is? Are there other alternatives?


What it is:
Megasquirt is a DIY EFI control module. Over the years it has evolved from a fuel-only solder-it-yourself module into a lineup that includes pre-assembled ECUs, a relay module and harness system, and an ECU that does sequential fuel and distributorless ignition. Its strength (and weakness) is that it is extremely flexible in what it can do, which means the installer has to pay more attention during the installation and configuration phase.

Anyone using one?:
There are a handful of guys that are using MS. You kinda hafta keep an eye out for them, I have one but haven't gotten it installed yet.

Alternatives:
MSD has a MSD-7 or MSD-8 that allows a fully programmable/adjustable ignition curve. It's about $600+, IIRC, and it doesn't do any fueling. You could use an MS-2 to do your spark curve -- if you wanted to do EFI later your ECU is up to teh task.
