Hey everyone,
I am in the midst of the slow process of building my m52 turbo street/weekend warrior car. I think at this point I have decided I want to go full standalone as honestly trying to find information on tuning the ms41.1 ecu is like pulling teeth, and being honest with myself, I don't want o learn how to read the coding used to get it all to work. I don't have the time for that with as much travel for work I do...
I have been looking around for standalone's, and megasquirt would be the first obvious choice. THey are supposedly coming out with an OBD2 pnp unit soon as they just released their obd1 version. The cost is pretty much right around the AEM infinity 506 unit, and from what I can tell the infinity is going to be easier to tune using volumetric efficiencies, and being that my build will be ever progressing, it seems like a great way to go as it will be better able to adapt to changes.
Problem #1-There is no pnp harness, so I will have to wire my own. The question in that is, is it worth splicing it into the stock harness, or at this point am I just better off isolation the non motor parts of the harness and wiring up jus the motor to the ecu? The car is gutted at this point, I am deleting A/C, pulled factory radio, no headliner, etc. It's going to stay a stripped down car as well for reference.
Problem #2-Not really a problem so much, but does anyone have any experience with these units? I can only find info on people running these on s54's at this point really.
Thanks in advance for any info.
