Megasquirt or aftermarket PCM?

Just install MegaSquirt or some other system that allows you to tune your car, or just have a question about tuning and the options available? Feel free to ask it here.

well....you could buy 4 megasquirts for what one haltech costs, have to replace all the sensors, and fabricate a crank trigger....all in all considering it does the same thing as an MS but no autotune, i told em to get me a megasquirt lol.

I refer to what i was saying a few years back. Haltechs are great for anything with a rotary or motronic system, other than that there are better options available.

MegaManual wrote:The MegaSquirt® family of EFI controllers (including MS-I™, MS-II™, MicroSquirt™, and the MS-II Sequencer™) are intended as educational projects for those who want to learn about electronic fuel injection. They are experimental Do-It-Yourself programmable electronic fuel injection controllers that you build yourself. MegaSquirt® controllers will work on virtually any liquid fueled spark-ignition engine, naturally aspirated or boosted (up to 21 psi boost with the standard MAP sensor) as long as they are not 'pollution controlled'. Note that any MegaSquirt® EFI controller is the controller only, you will have to gather the remaining fuel system parts yourself (from 1 to 16 injectors, sensors, fuel rails, fuel pump, etc.).

A few threads up it said something about having to fabricate a crank sensor? Can someone post a detailed install on this and help us all out?

For what? Megasquirt reads the stock crank trigger wheel and sensor. Other standalone systems need an external trigger wheel. The design and sensor type the system needs depends on what system it is. AEM, Electromotive, etc.
