Megasquirt PNP - Opportunity

1.2CF at wheels

How would you rate Megasquirt vs. Open Source and what version are you running?

I would also love an M3 (not the car) for running a hybrid engine in either my 93 Impreza or an 01 RS.

Will Megasquirt pull out the products for the Suby world or what? They sure hit the spot for Miata people (dunno what the fetish is with such a tiny gay looking car-no offense to people that like these things), but the Suby community is MASSIVE for modifications and if a product can do anything and more than these big $$$$$ standalones, then a load of these things would be sold, then found on the used market, then purchased used or new...it would be extremely lucrative for Megasquirt to get designs out for the Suby community if they really want to bank big time. In this economy, I can't think of one other car enthusiast type that would be wanting something like this more than the cheap ass Suby people that cannot afford to have Hydras.

Cheers!

this whole thread is about developing products for subarus lol. And believe it or not, as many parts as they have out, subaru's are still one of the higher end cars that are modified, the parts although interchangable are expensive and the tuning is even more, this aint no civic your dealing with. And until about the time this thread started, theres maybe a handful of people who have run MS on subies successfully, theyre still the black sheep of the MegaSquirt ring.

I hope to assist with moving this along since I'm looking for a plug and play EMS. I'm trying to do a N/A build for Rallying. I want a stand alone system and if I can get the DIY PnP MS system to do it I will try my best. Hopefully sometime around March or so I will try and contact the DIY guy about seeing what we can do for a 99 2.5 RS. I'm not home sadly or this would be done earlier. I won't be returning til around Mayish though. Plus I will be having the RS swapped around May so hopefully I find a chassis to throw my RS Engine in and see what I can with a PnP MS system.

Thats why hes working with us is to develop a PnP management system for the RS, just watch this thread as its in the works right now.

There is no open source for older Subies. I think I am on the lasted release. 2.1.0 I believe.

Well lets look at it this way, the Miata is the biggest selling sports car of all time, has more race series behind it than other, and stays pretty much the same car for the best part of a decade. Not too mention that they're ridiculously easy and cheap to mod with a really strong enthusiast community.

Quick comparison to Subaru's where the new ones are expensive and much more complicated, the older ones have dozens of different versions and there really is no standard Subaru to focus time and resources on that could possibly yield the same profits as a Miata. That and it's originally a Jap Econobox.

Very well said. Subaru's are like legos, but Miatas are like legos with all the same pieces.
