Hi there,
I have been installing Vi-PEC V88 ECU'S to both BA XR8 (HARROP BLOWER FITTED) and BA XR6T's. Full DBW control,etc,etc,etc. They work great. |

My VP200 has an Autronic SMC & I cant wait to get rid of it. It's been nothing but trouble & has cost me a small fortune.
I'm looking for a new 'cheap' ECU for the Mustang & these Megasquirt things sound like value for money. At the end of the day it's only a dragcar so dont need multiple inputs, I only need to run injectors & spark. Can anyone elaborate on the Megasquirt? Cheers. |

Its easy to use but putting together is a bit of work. If something goes wrong and you dont really know electronics it could be a throw away. :S
Someone needs to add the wolf V500 to the first post. Ive got one. Its good. They do all sorts of things. They can control BF variable cam timing but they cant do electronic throttle control. Ive got one in place of my stock ECU. It runs everything well, is hooked up to my techedge for logging, cold starts are pretty good, economy is pretty good, power is pretty good etc etc. |

Hey bud, i know this is a post from a while back, but i'm gonna hook a barra 4.0l up with 1 of these (V88) in a xg ute, just wondering what you did with the cop's ie. what ignitors did you use, i'm looking at using nissan 6 channel @ the moment, was going to make my own 6 channel but dont want to run the risk of cooking the V88. Any info would be great. Cheers, Laurie |

Would it be worth going low end aftermarket ECU and tune for something with mild engine mods? I've got an EL Fairmont Ghia which is recieving CMS Stage 3 head/2a cam, full exhaust with high flow cat and pacemaker extractors with the usual intake mods.
Or would I be better suited to a TI Performance chip? Or just no tune at all running standard ECU with my mods? Thanks much guys |

depends what you want to do in the future. if you are going to keep it like this or similar then a J3 chip is all you need. if you plan on major engine work or boost then aftermarket ECU is the way. massive difference in price but a J3 will open up alot more power from your setup then using just the stock ECU

I don't plan on going too crazy, this will be it really.
What's a J3 and a tune worth these days? |

I've been running the megasquirt in my EA for about 6 years now, fuel and spark. Anyway i've just bought an au and am considering putting the spare one into that but mostly just to run the injectors so it's nice and easy to tune the fuel.. will the au ecu crack the sooks if it finds the injectors arn't connected to it anymore ? I don't think my ea manual had limp home mode but the au might so i don't know what will trigger it.

Very curious about the ViPec V88, have had it suggested to me over a haltech, the haltech doesn't appear to support Drive by wire and I'm told the V88 does.
Bout to turb an eGas BF and need duel stage inj control aswell. Have many or any peeps been using the V88 as a stand alone ECU on the BF or piggy backing? I'd like to run stand alone if possible without hurting the hip pocket to much. |
