The MegaSquirt Project has experienced explosive growth other the years, with hundreds of new MS installations occurring every week - a phenomenal success! MegaSquirt has been successfully used in all aspects of Internal Combustion engine applications including R&D, Industry, Race, and Research. The MS project has transformed itself from a simple R&D project into a full-featured mature engine control system. To reflect this the support structure has also changed to meet the needs of MegaSquirt Users.
Moving forward, the R&D forums for MegaSquirt project are in a read-only mode - no new forum posts are accepted.
However the forums will remain available for view, they still contain a wealth of information on how MegaSquirt works, how it is installed and used. Feel free to search the forums for information, facts, and overview.While the R&D forum traffic has slowed in recent years, this is not at all a reflection of Megasquirt users, which continue to grow year after year. What has changed is that the method of MegaSquirt support today has rapidly moved to Facebook, this is where the vast majority of interaction is happening now. For those not on Facebook the msextra forums is another place for product support. Finally, for product selection assistance, all of the MegaSquirt vendors are there to help you select a system, along with all of the required pieces to make it complete.
A forum for discussing topics of particular interest to those running MegaSquirt in Australia and New Zealand, including parts sources, group buys, etc.
hi all i have just built my first ECU and wondered if any one had a base setting for the parmeters on the ecu so it will start and then i can fine tune while its running i have a MS2 pcb 3 running 2.88 on a ford 5 litre runing standard form straight out out of an EB XR8

I did a quick search and the I believe the EB XR8's had 19lb/hr injectors. You could try that in your setting and use the map calculator (not sure, it might be called something different) in Megatune with the quoted factory power & torque figures to get you started.
Also if you look in the success stories for any of the late 80's to early 90's Mustangs. They had the 302 windsor so you might be able to use their ignition maps, IAM, trims and some other settings.
Do you have an EGO sensor to tune with?
