yes but a a Haltech or Adaptronic makes a megasquirt look like toy.

As one Major tuner in Syney discribed it - a tightarse IT guys ECU. Mind you I was seeing him about a tuning a Autronic SM2 for a RB30.

Megasquirts cold start up - is no better then a microtech.

It lacks full tables.

With a Motec, autronic0 adaptronic EMS and some model Haltechs. You have multipule tables to set up or enrichment probgrams. All on msot 16 X 16 plus table.
It alows you to fine tune your cold start up like full factory ECU, so even after say 2 hours car is mildly warm but has lost soem heat - It doesn't run up on lean or overenrichment, on light throttle or heavy throttle.

But of course the big issue is - tuning time. Top end models will have auto tune feature you set perameters and it adjusts all this over time.

Megasquirt is nice for the price but think of the overall cost of it? Are you really ahead.

Go out ot Compact attack at the WSID on may 18 Turk. Look around for Megasquirt - see how many are using it ?
