ive got a se cab fitted with a 1.9cvh turbo lump. Its running ofab efi management at the mo,with standard injectors/boost etc. Ive looked into getting a chip for this spec and have been quoted £400 for the chip itself!! i cant justfiy paying that sort of money for a chip which isnt even tailored to my car(its a zvh map) but was told it wont be far off for the 1.9cvh setup. I just want my car to run some more boost/power so was just going to live with the zvh chip until i got told the price,and the with adding seting up on top of that!!!!!I dont want cossie management as again,it is big money involved. I keep hearing more and more about megasquirt...... I wouldnt have a clue where to start regarding mapping myself,so how easy is it to "pick up",ive also heard people meantion auto tune? and was wondering peoples personal experiences on fitting/mapping it themselves,and more importantly who would be best to speak to regarding buying it from etc etc as i need to get my car sorted asap.
Is there a way of someone being able to show pics of what to expect when looking at a "mapping screen" on their pc screen to see if id be able to work out what is needed to be understood.....as i really dont want to buy and fit it,and then look at my laptop and not have a clue what to do.........
sorry for the essay lol

 

Think Mega squirt have a website, as for mapping prob taking a bit of a risk doing it yourself unless you know exactly what your doing, especially if you have spent money on the engine. My advice would be to try to take it somewhere that can supply and fit etc...

 

u can self map it as u go,but if u got a 400bhp zetec turbo,i wouldnt trust yaself!!fit it,run it in,get it set up by someone who knows what there doing!

 

You can buy an emulator to test your maps before you install it with the megasquirt, its about £30 iirc but mapping is a dark art best left to specialists imo.

 

ive fitted ms to my fiesta zetec turbo.got some one else to map it.if you want to look at tables for mapping ,down load diy auto tune,its all on there

 

who did you get to map it? a proper tuner,or just someone who knows what their doing with ms??

how much would i be looking at all in for the top ms kit?
