any body around NC running mega squirt?

 

do you have a question or are you just wondering?

 

good question.

if you're looking for 411 on megasquirt, it'd probably be better to ask on their forums:
http://www.msefi.com/index.php

 

i would like to see some ones truck up close so i can get a better idea of how it works and mabe ride in it to see how the power is over stock efi

 

They are illegal for anything except off road use.

fuel injection is not the problem for the 22re, It is the lack of valves and poor head design. Send money to me instead..................

 

It would be helpful if you gave a description of your engine. The MS will not give you much advantage over the stock EFI if your engine is stock. The MS is designed to take over when the stock comp can't handle it anymore. Turbo, supercharger, lots and lots of bolt on goodies.

 

That is not to say that MS is only for highly modified engines, but it is doubtful that the average user will dial in a stock engine as well as Toyota's R&D department did. It is just more worthwhile to use it on something that needs serious alterations to the tune anyway.

There doesn't seem to be much information about what is possible as far as chipping/modding/flashing(?) the stock ECUs. Some people have mentioned sending their ECU to JET for "tuning," but to me that means that there is potential for the DIYer as well.

 

ive heard the sendin your ECU to jet isnt worth the money nor the performance

 

Well no, it wouldn't be. The important part is that it can be done.

 

yes very true it can be done but not worth it. if you really want to do the jet upgrade just send the money to me and you will get the same amount of power

 

I'm not talking about sending an ECU to JET, I'm talking about the possibility of reprogramming the ECU at home and doing things that JET won't like a mass air conversion.

 

oh yea ok i see nope you couldnt do it at home that would be close to impossible unless you had done it before and you had an electrical technology degree from a 4yr college hahahaha

 

look at my sig

 

the jet chip isent werth the money cause you can do the same thing wit MS. ms my be a little more money but you have complete controle of your engine vs with the jet chip they tune your computer with the mods you all ready have and if you want to mod it more you would have to send it back to get updated witch would be a nuther 400+

 

You don't have enough aftermarket goodies to justify MS...waste of time and money for you IMO. MS is usually in use for turbo applications on the 22re...

 

If your thinking more juice in the cylinder will give you more power. Well....

Just not going to get crazy amount of power from the 22re, just not going to happen. If you seeking the power swap engines. It'll be cheaper and more satisfying in the long run.

 

yes i no the 22re is not a power house, and it doesn't make a lot of power , and i no and engine swap is more cost effective. but i like a challenge and swapping in an engine is not a challenge for me.

 

yeah i no i don't right now but my motor is getting rebuilt soon due to a rod knocking. so im planing on running 10:1 compression pistons. and i know it would be a bitch to try to tune a high compression 22re with factory efi and ignition.

 

Honestly...trying to make HP on the 22re is pointless. Sure, some have done it and even fewer have succeeded. I have the turbo 22re and i would love to make it a monster, but it would cost A LOT of money just to hit 200HP. Remember, this is with a turbo too. Using a higher compression piston would not justify MS either...you will be fine with your ignition setup and won't change your fuel need with higher compression. What will you need to "tune"? Your not going to be using forced induction, so you have no need to raise fuel levels with boost levels...i understand you want more HP, but its not easily done with this engine.
