OK, this program is a link into MS Megatune. It has an auto-tune function which gradually does this itself over a period of time. Start with someone else's fuel map for a similar engine then by looking at the mixture via the lambda (oxygen) sensor readout in the software - tweak the settings to be better.

To tune it, you load a bit of free software on to your PC and plug it in via serial RS232 or USB via a serial adaptor. Some people have even used it to control LPG, Nitrous or water injection. It could potentially be used to run a common rail diesel injection system - don't know if anyone has done it yet though. MS has been fitted to all kinds of petrol engines including chain saws, bikes, lawn mowers - as well as cars and trucks. It just uses the butterfly valve in the carb to throttle the engine as normal.
It can also be used with carbs using what is known as 'throttle body injection' where you disconnect the fuel supply to the carb and fit a big injector which just squirts fuel into the inlet manifold. It can be fitted to any vehicle with fuel injection where it just plugs in to the existing injectors. What you get, or at least can get, is more power, easier starting, smoother running and better economy. This allows you to set your own advance and retard curves and tie them accurately to what the engine as a whole is doing. The boostrap monitor is no longer loaded or running.Later on in the development, they came up with a way of replacing the distributor by fitting one coil per spark plug (or one between two) and triggering which fires and when electronically.

I follow all that, however when I install the firmware it only goes to %99.9 and then says You can now connect to the DIYPNP with MegaTune or TunerStudio. It will end with a message stating that verification has succeeded. Once you have pressed a key to continue, the utility will continue to load the MS2/Extra code. The program will load a new bootloader, at which point you will remove the bootloader jumper, power down the DIYPNP, then power it up again. Be sure you load it with the MicroSquirt version of the firmware.

Specify that you are upgrading from standard B&G firmware.Ĭaution: Loading the MS2/Extra version for a full sized MegaSquirt will cause problems with the ignition output, and may even damage your ignition system. This program will first ask you a couple of questions about loading the code tell it you have a MicroSquirt and which COM port you are using. Open the program called download-MS2-firmware.bat. If MegaTune or other tuning software is running, close it. Go into the Program Files/MegaSquirt folder and open the MS2/Extra folder that matches the firmware you wish to load to your DIYPNP. If loading the code on the car, be sure to unplug the coils and injectors. This can be done on a car or you can plug our Stimulator / DIYPNP power supply into the supplied 12 volt port next to the DB15. Place the boot jumper (located to the right of the INPUT 1 label and above the IGN1 - IGN2 - WLED - ALED jumper) across both pins.Ĭonnect the DIYPNP to your computer using the serial port. So I've built and jumpered the diypnp to my 2001 miata, and im following these install instructions.
