AS DH said for what were doing atm there is no point in haveing multi maps,  sopose if your tight you choudl do one for 97 ron on the track and one for 95 on the road...

You'd need pretty decent knock sensing for this though, like the modern BMW systems... from my experience the knock sensors on both my Mk2s were/are, shall we say basic... although I suppose it could be the slow stock ecu to blame...  I ended up using a dyno and tickled the dizzy forward then back a little till I had no pinking on my G60.

it's going to get knock senseing,  the PCB's for the basic knock modules has just arrived so it may be a littel while before it's up running and trusted.
my PIC based desing has quite a lot of potential and is very good at removeing engine noise as it's programmed to only listen for knock at set intervals in the cycle ( yup it has input from cranck sensor ) and it's meant recognise and ignore some signals at exact points. so it should be abel to pick up very very light knock    problem is it's not quite optimised yet and there are no £'s atm to throw at developing somethign that i'll make about 5 off. 

idealy i want to get a working ION sensing board up and running    no need for dyno then

You what?   




At least someone knows wtf they're doing here

Danny/DH, how hard was it to map the car using Megasquirt? I'm working on a side project at the moment that will use Megasquirt for mapping for the supercharger and thought I'd have a go at mapping it myself since I work with sensors, calibration, control systems, etc anyway. Any info at all would be great

If you've got skilz with electrical dragons and a reasonable understanding of what you're aiming for then it shouldn't be too hard.

BUT

You need to read up plenty and understand what you're trying to achieve with the parameters you're setting.  Danny, for instance actually has an OBD wired into the palm of one of his hands, concealed by a flap of skin and if he holds a sparkplug lead his eyes stobe the same as a timing gun among other apparently quite natural mutations.

Electrical issues I'm grand with. I took a look at the program for setting up Megasquirt and all the paramters and so on are things I'm familiar with which was a relief  Just need to figure out how it all comes together! Did you guys map it from scratch or did you load values from the existing ECU and tweak it from there?

[danny_p]

not mapped it properly yet

fuel is easy,  just need a wideband and an idea of what you want, spark is harder

Lighting and power installed in lower barn (which has a non-leaking roof).  Cracking on with the MS today and tomorrow.
