Ideal Megasquirt Setup

[dave.a.cote]

I just got my 11:1 2.9L M50 running on MS3 with MS3X and couldn't be happier. It is fully sequential COP plus MS has a bunch of features you would have trouble with on a stock ecu - I plan on adding launch control soon.

MS3 can easily control VANOS.. but whatever.

1. Unless you or your tuner have tuned a VANOS motor before, don't waste your time and money on MS. Spend the cash and get a tried and true tune from someone like TRM. Drive-ability will be much better across the board, and will allow you to take advantage of VANOS.

2. That injector size will be too small for a gt35r or gt40.

Do some research on bimmerforums' Forced Induction section, there's all you need to know there. ;)

MS2 is almost a downgrade from the stock computer - batch fire, although you can do COP, and it's much easier to tune and it can do other stuff the stock computer can't (boost control, launch control, etc).

I think for the price difference MS3 is the way to go. $365 for the V3.0 kit, add $90 for the MS3x sequential board and you've got a pretty complete system for not that much money.

What would be the ideal megasquirt system to run with an 89 325i with an s52 swap and a garret gt35 or gt40 turbo setup?

Im leaning towards a Megasquirt-II with a V3 board with 34lb or 39lb injectors.

If your running a setup you really like, let me know what it is. Any suggestions would be awesome. THanks
