MegaSquirt is the registered trademark of an aftermarket electronic fuel
injection (EFI) controller designed to be used with a wide range of spark-ignition internal combustion engines (i.e., not diesel engines, or GDI.) It is a complete standalone fuel injection controller with proven software and hardware, developed by Bruce Bowling and Al Grippo, developers that work on the US East Coast. The software for the platform is open for modification (for use on Bowling and Grippo hardware only). The hardware provides for only fuel, ignition and idle air control in most cases, keeping the cost low (though there are user configurable outputs in most cases for other functions). The hardware is open in that the schematics are available for troubleshooting and educational purposes, but not for copying. The source code of the firmware(s) are available to download for peer review and end-user modification, but the code and derivatives are only licensed for use on official Megasquirt hardware. The product is aimed at the DIY market as in most cases MegaSquirt requires assembly and tuning by the user, but they are available built and tested. Basic costs can be below US$300 as of 2009, although this will vary widely depending on application. It can be configured to run on engines from single 50cc cylinder engines up to 26 liter displacement V12 engines. The latest version is MS-III, it is capable of: Speed-density, alpha-n or MAF for fuelling calculations Real time barometric correction of the fuel equation with dual sensor ( option) 16x16 fuel tables in 0.1% steps with true interpolation and movable rows/columns 16x16 spark tables in 0.1 degree steps with true interpolation and movable rows/columns Wall-wetting transient fuel control equation On board datalogging to SDcard (max 333Hz sample rate) Tuning by serial or built-in USB-serial port. 8 channels sequential fuel (hi-z injectors or low-z with external resistors) 2 additional fuel channels (hi-z or low-z) 8 channels sequential spark (logic level output) 6 channels mid current output for small solenoids or relays 2 'spare' conditioned 0-5V analogue inputs (+2 more raw) Two wideband oxygen sensor input (external controller required) (Up to eight widebands supported via external data capture) GM-style stepper idle control 2 and 3 wire PWM idle control Closed loop idle control Closed loop mixture control - ideally with wideband O2 sensor Closed loop boost control Variable Cam control Various boost control systems (gear, time, speed based) Two stage variable nitrous control 2 step type launch control CAN communications to interconnect other Megasquirt products e.g. transmission controller Supports external data capture boards (e.g. for external EGT boards and knock detection) EGT data support (with external amplifier) Staged injection ignition retard on engine knock ( data capture board and knock sensor required) Dual fuel (e.g. LPG) Table switching, (mainly for dual fuel use) Water/Meth injection Individual cylinder injector trim Injector phase timing Individual cylinder spark trim fuel composition sensor support Support for numerous OEM trigger wheel patterns.
