basically i have got a megasquirt ecu i bought a while ago and never used as i never had anything to connect it up to

i have now also got a 2wd sierra cos and as its a bit of a project and the ecu is of an unknown quantity/old i want to have a go at using the megasquirt on the car but also want to be able to plug the original back in when i actually need to move it etc

so...

what i want to do is get an ecu to canibalise and desolder the connector off so i can make a plug and play loom for the megasquirt and also be able to revert back to original with no problems

therefore my question is...as a cosworth ecu second hand seems to fetch good money working or fried is there any other ecu of any other model i can use that has the same 35 way plug or whatever it is as on my l6 ecu?

cheers

 

The cossie abs ecu is the same plug, and worth not a lot!!

 

thats sound then

i might just butcher the abs ecu as i dont think it works anyway and lets face it...who needs it?

i take it you know this from plugging the wrong plug into the wrong ecu previously?

haha

 

anyone done the megasquirt thing before to?

i think in actual fact i could just piggy back the megasquirt to the original if i really wanted so i could go distributorless aswell which would justify the cost of a megasquirt anyway!

 

35-pin connector is the same on a lot of Weber-Marelli ecu's from back then. These ecu's were used on Fiat's and Lancia's.
Some old Bosch motronics also use this 35-pin connector.

gonna buy an abs ecu tonight and give it a try

is anyone up on the megasquirts and or has a base map for one on the cosworth?

think mine is an ms1 v3

was originally used on a 1.8t i think and had coil on plug but i wanna use it with the dizzy for now and as i never built the ecu im unsure exactly of how it works and what may need changing around inside

 

Correct, these along with others such as the Meserati Bi-Turbo had two of them, (one for each bank)

Been Trying to get my Megasqurt MS3 + MS3X running for about 2 years seems that there is not a lot of help on the MS Forum and everybody wants CASH to help even though I paid Ł650.00 for the unit I have attached a photo of my breakout box

 

Yes they are the same just green

have you had no joy getting yours running?

i just want to see if the ecu will light up and if i can get any readings on my laptop at all

it will keep me quiet for a few hours haha

need a pin out diagram now!

 

Hi I am still not getting mine to run I have a pin out diagram that I have used (how can i insert it) so that anyone can let me know if you or anyone else can see any issues
