I've heard that they should not be used for megasquirt at all costs.

Just found this info on them

M-Tech was formed in February 2006, and originally began distributing MegaSquirt Engine Management Systems. It was owned as an LLP by Matthew Thorne and Ben Hunt, but significant restructuring began in October 2006, with Ben leaving M-Tech to pursue other areas, and Matthew taking full director ship.

The company, now one of the major worldwide distributors of MegaSquirt EFI systems (and largest in the UK), came under fire from the developers of the open source system, for undercutting local suppliers. Supply was withheld throughout the summer months of 2007, but M-Tech has since renegotiated its stance, and continues to supply the ECUs.

M-Tech Automotive have been supplying MegaSquirt ECUs in the UK for over six years, and have grown to be one of the biggest distributors in the world. They have also helped to improve the MegaSquirt product and bring new hardware and software into existence.

The company is praised for its free technical support, both over e-mail and phone, as well as the more recent MegaSquirtMaps.com forum, and also its extensive 'no small print' Two Year RTB Warranty.

If thats MTech in wiltshire the jury is still out for me as I think the guys have good intentions but are struggling to walk the walk after talking the talk.
They recently got brand new RR so that should be better than the one they where borrowing last time i want there.
never got a printout from my last RR run there either as he said he would e-mail me them and never did.

Think that sounds along the right lines in fairness, matt seemed a friendly kiddy but not too sure just how much knowledge they actually have there, if it's anything like the knowledge they had when i went to a little rolling road day they were holding a while back then probably not alot!

Something wrong with either the operator or the rolling road at the time then (DynoDynamics). I;ve never known of a FWD car with 186bhp / 150lb/ft weighing 920kg to run a 13.30second 1/4 mile with a terminal of 108.4mph until now. That is all

Think our dyno is pretty accuarte, it does break a few hearts though! You can't really operate it badly, just press a button and go. Theres many factors that can effect the overal result, but we followed it by the book. Our Saxo demo car made 120.0, thats factory power, if anything after 60k I would say ti was even reading slightly over! All is well though, and yes the new dyno is the shizzle! Chris, PM me your reg no and will dig your graph up, We still have the old dyno in storige, will fire the old girl up and gte it for you,.

CheeRS,
Matt

I can not praise Mtech enough , they put in long hours and did a fantastic job on my car that had been destroyed by PowerConversions. There customer service is second to none,they have followed up and are always willing to help even after payment.
