Its mega squirt, not skirt.
Piece of piss fit, just make a custom loom up, and fit the loom with plugs for injectors etc, then just the usual live/ign live for the ecu etc.

The hard bits the setup/mapping.

piece of piss and worth the money imo, even just to learn mapping. the best ?300 ive spent, just need to find a car to run it on lol(one of mine that is, got it on a mates already)

Thats pretty much the going rate they are from any supplier.

My mates has it, was going to fit it to a z20let corsa but he now wants rid of it. I really want to fit to mine as i need some different management, but its too close to TOTB for me to try fit and map different management and get it running properly with no problems. We also have all the relevant software / hardware to do it all, but i'll just put more nitrous in instead lol.

Were you planning on diy building? Or pre-built.

Im not sure whether i would trust it to run a 300/400hp turbo motor,Lol.yes but the cd is also free so may aswell get what you need in one place. oh and for as trusting it on a 300/400bhp engine ive seen one running a 1200bhp engine ;) and check turbobrick.com for some serious power volvos running megasquirt

Lol, indeed, im not saying it cant be done as it clearly can, but if diy building/getting a mate build it, one bad solder join could cost you your engine....

For a budget build, i would definently consider one as an option.

what is the best megaquirt system to be used on a 1.6 8v engine running standard injection

Adam

Version 3 pcb.
Both version 1 and 2 sytems work with a distributor/hall sensor trigger.

Or you could convert it to DISpak(wasted spark), for that you'll need version 1+extra, or 2.
