my S1 has a Ofab EFI engine.....i am taking it for a rolling road tune but someone mentioned mega squirt and said i could install and take to a garage and they can just hook a laptop up to tune the car

is this true?....and who would install mega squirt for my car?

cheers

 

if you already have ofab you wanna speak to rob at boostmonkeys for a plug and play replacement for your ecu, its called the ofam (megasquirt ecu based)

 

Yeah as above, then someone whose familair with MS can map it for you... Me, Rob, Rick, etc. whoever is nearest.

so this Ł380 ecu is all i need? how do you fit it? would do i take the silver ecu out and use this?

 

im in dorchester...Dorset....near bournemouth

 

Yeah thats pretty much it, probably be a good idea to upgrade your fuel injectors too

 

what injectes do i go for?

 

depends on what your looking for power wise, whats the rest of your cars spec?

Karlos or Rob should be able to give you better advice.

Mines running siemens deka IV's 630cc injectors

 

not sure on the injecters but mines done 500 miles its:

stg3 big valve/polised and ported head
kent CVH34 camshaft/vernier pulley, ARP rod bolts, Helix 4 padle clutch, 044 fuel pump

 

What is the spec of your turbo? This will determine what injectors you need.

 

Im currently on beiges, but they are maxed out (103% duty ) at 0.8/9bar of boost when i boost spike in 5th! Run about 80-85% once the boost has stabilised! So i don't know how people running 180-200bhp+ use beiges!
Ive got a set of Bosch 440cc injectors to upgrade to next!

 

You can indeed. Megasquirt is a great and affordable option. There are lots of users on here that use megasquirt and are always more than happy to help with questions.

As for tuning, I can really recommend people like Karlos or Rick. That both have lots of happy customers on here.

I would look at vauxhall VXR , siemens Deka and Bosch EV14 injectors. All of which work well. Your injector choice will ultimately be dictated by your power goals and spec.

Best of luck with your project!

Rob,

PS, once again thanks for the links guys! I can't trade on here yet but the fact that people like our things does mean a lot to me.

 

That boostmonkeys is a very impressive site and laid out really well! im after a frst engine for my efi cab and im going to require an ecu to run it! its all in the future though lol maybe next year! too much stuff happening this year to be worrying about cars!
