What do I need to Megasquirt my Engine ?

There are an eye watering number of ways you could Megasquirt your engine, the choice is wide.

The route we have chosen from the outset, is a well proven, robust, reliable and simple soklution.

It might sound terifying but our route is via 'MS1 SnE V3.57 with 029y4' software + EDIS 8' !!. Don't panic, things will be clearer lower down this page.

Many Megasquirt V8 customers are Land Rover V8 peeps (but not all), many frequent the excellent www.lr4x4.com, where there is wealth of help and support in its own 'Megasquirt' Forum, pretty much Rover V8 Based!.
Some of the members came to us, knowing NOTHING about the system, yet now advise others on specialist areas like Supercharging a Megasquirted V8, or LPG Timing Maps etc etc. well worth signing up to, and its free.

We try to offer a full solution, the ECU is the easy bit, BUT... be aware of NON Genuine MS ECUs. The quality is terrible, and frankly you are just wasting your money.
You will also find little support within the MS Community as well.
The 'MS ECU Copies' stuff is not only junk, but hugely frowned on for all the right reasons. ALL our ECUs and ECU parts are Genuine Megasquirt, and will always be that way

So, There are some things you are going to need - 'MS1 SnE V3.57 with 029y4' software + EDIS 8'
