Ive decided to have a go at megasquirt. The main reason i am doing it at this stage is to learn more about engine management and that whole side of the motor (for which i have limited knowledge). I have printed out about 300 pages of MS manual and also been reading a book called "how to tune and modify engine management" by Jeff Hartman.
At the moment i just want to get MS up and running with my current mods (turbo, IC, exhaust, heads, etc) From what i have learnt so far, one of the most important areas for MAP based systems is the VE table. Ive read Blowzups page, but i have the europe/aust spec motor and torque and hp is slightly different.
Would it be worth running the car on the dyno as it is now and getting a plot of torque vs rpm and also manifold pressure, in order to help estimate the VE table :?: or at least over estimate it for a richer base, before installing MS.
Also, will i have trouble finding a tuner who will work with MS (im in Australia), and how much do tuners normally cost :?:
Sorry if these are silly questions but i am trying to learn.
Thanks. Liam
