Anyone running a MegaSquirt EFI system with boost?
Just wanted to get some feed back about the system and the setup along with all of the capabilities.. I am currently looking at the Accel DFI, Mega Squirt, and XFI set-up for a twin-turbo engine. Which of the three is easier to use, adjust, offers less of a headache, etc.?
Thanks for your input/advice. |
I think it comes down to personal preference all those systems are capable of doing what you need.
I personally would go with the system, that your local tuner knows best. Your going to need help and support at some point...:yes: |
Maybe some more details about your combo might help; otherwise you are going to get what most feel is popular (and not actually what you need). I've tuned MS on a boosted ap, but honestly, if you are going with a twin turbo LS_ engine, you're better off with a DFI or FAST setup, as they have harness kits that go from universal to vehicle-specific.

I would look into the VEMS as well, its a system with origins in the megasquirt but based on a larger processor, it can run all eight coils and injectors sequentially, it will drive peak and hold injectors, and will accept dual WBO2's and i think its in the 400 dollar range assembled...
the megasquirt is alittle too basic to run an LS motor with all the outputs needed to drive the coils and injectors... |

Which set-ups are easy to use, for this is my first injected engine and this is my first boosted engine. Also, I have no tuning skills at this point. I would like the efi sytem to allow me and my imagination room to grow if I so needed it to as far as HP goes. Thanks again for your input, guys! |

I'll check it out...thanks! |
To keep it simple & accesible, I'd say go with a DFI (Gen 8 coming out soon...LOTS of features), or a FAST setup. MS, VEMS, Holley, etc can all do the job- but they don't quite have the deep LS1 support yet (some will undoubtedly argue that). There are other systems out there- but I have more experience with the DFI & FAST on LSx engines.

As one of the team members that invented the 58x (60-2) decode, worked with Wegners on the GM "spider" (have stock),
and manufacture a DSP baised EMS product, I would suggest looking at my equipment. My project, the first 1000 HP+ LS-1 for Ro was dyno tested at Westec almost three years ago. I might have some experince with the Twin-Turbo LS-1. Lance |
